Aeropress isn't quite a filter coffee maker either. It does generate some pressure (agree not enough for espresso) which changes to character of the coffee. I dont mind espresso, short, but for day to day I'll use it as a base for longer drinks , typically black Americano (who are we kidding...

Any high carbon steel. Bog stand steel isnt the same. Last one i made was an old chisel that i tempered with a mapp gas torch the heat treated.

If we all drive in the same direction at the same time we should be able to slow the planet down. 😁 sorry not helpful i know. But it made me smile. You are thinking of wind as a form of energy, when its really a consequence of energy dissipation. The energy is really heat,and i reckon weve got...

well Davey, you might not be a coffee snob, but you have a similar mentality to a number on here and I'm in complete agreement with you. :)

to paraphase a whisky drinkers quote "the best coffee is the coffee you like, the best way to drink it, is the way you drink it" cut out all the hyperbole and drink what the hell you want. oh dear, deathwish sounds like I was right to avoid it. thanks for the heads up.

You mean you aren't willing to spend 20 quid for a 1lb bag of coffee with a "cool" name and more merchandise then the first 3 starwars movies? https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/ no, oh, ok, I guess I can't recommend them then (along with a whole host of other reasons, including having never...

I SHALL NOT BE Pidgeon holed. :P

if you can draw them up in CAD you can get them made pretty cheap from a 3d printer. this one came up as a suggestion, no affiliation and I've never used them but have a search around. https://www.3dpeople.uk/

I've always use a triangle to mark a jointed edge over the face board. a really big one that crosses over the joint so you can line it up. not sure if this is what marks you mean but I was taught it by an old hand and I've done it ever since. plane direction was never an issue. oh, I was...

Second City Coffee. Dex runs the small business with a passion for coffee. He only sells what he knows is good and there isn't a single bean that he stocks that I wouldn't quite happily sit and drink. He is also very passionate about fair trade and supporting the coffee origins and not because...

Yes, one should always decide on a language based on it's ability to abbreviate. I am in complete agreement.

one of my favorites is auspuff. direct translation, out puff, concatenated translation, exhaust. the German vocabulary is great at times. they have no word for despot though. :)

Andy, shoulder deep in water with nose pressed tight against the outside of the water tank "Ah, I see what the problem is, DEAR, DEAR?" Footsteps on the stairs followed by clank and clatter as loft ladder as Mrs. T makes her way to her ever doting husband. Andy "Ah yes dear, thank you for...

Ive had a clarke top box for 20 odd years and its still going strong. Its got my cheaper 6 draw sat in the top of it that 15 years ild and still going strong but isnt as good as the Clarke one.

Why is it that the good die young? Note:74 isnt young.

correct wheel and keep the blade cool. if it colours you've lost the temper. someone will be along shortly to tell you I'm wrong. :) polishing, everything :) fittings, plagues, small bits of wood, knife scales, it comes in handy surprisingly often.

leave the polishing mops on it and use it to polish stuff instead. I'm lucky in that I have a big bench grinder for tools the lives on the bench and gets used more than you'd have thought, and a small (B&Q own brand) one with polishing mops on for when I need shiny things.
