Coffee Appreciation

Today I shall be mostly stripping these down, cleaning and fitting a couple of new seals.

Enjoy! Fingers crossed for the boiler gasket if you're doing it!

So satisfying to give the Silenzio a good clean.
Those picks were critical in getting the job done, using the hooked one to lift the lower burr took 3-4 seconds, a breeze!

Purchased the Christmas Blend with your code, thanks

How is the Christmas blend, any good? Might order some myself.

Last couple days to grab this.

I made one of these (took a few of the needles out after taking the photo)

Good distribution made a big difference

Excellent! Where did you get the needles from?

Harrowing, lol.

Yes been really enjoying it as v60!

Been getting into the clever dripper as daily brewer since it arrived, sort of less faff than v60 and an equally drinkable brew. Thanks again for passing it on @umop3pisdn

I'll see your home made distributor and raise you one 1.5mm copper wire and cotton reel distributor!

If it made a big difference to the coffee (it did) I planned to make something on my CNC but it works so well I've become quite attached to this ramshackle one!

Mm nice yours looks much friendlier 😂

If you type ‘3d printer nozzle cleaning needle’ into Google it’ll come up with the goods :-)

I massively over did it in that picture, you need much less otherwise they start dragging clumps around

Perfect, exactly the useful small gift I was looking for..!

They're actually acupuncture needles. 3d printer companies just call them nozzle cleaning needles and charge a markup.

Or just wait 2 weeks for this.

That’s what I thought they were at first too. A markup? Cost me £2 posted for like 20 of them 😂. Can’t imagine them being cheaper

Just checked and I see you can get 100 acupuncture needles for like £4 plus postage.. Still, who needs that many for distribution purposes :-)

A markup? Cost me £2 posted for like 20 of them 😂

Lots of chancers asking for £5 to £10 for 10 to 20 needles, botn on ebay/amazon and on actual 3dp stores. Thats what I meant re markup.

yah v healthy markup that. good business model ;-)

Having a good distribution tool has really made my shots much more consistent

Enjoying Origin's Christmas blend atm, any others I should be trying?

Oh sweet, I'll give it a go too then!

Anyone know of a café selling replacement aeropress rubber plunger heads?
