Lovely! Phwoar... check out the clearance on that grinder... :coffee2: Actually... I'm still waiting on an explanation of two PIds on the machine above. Were they on discount that week??

Haha it was a prerequisite for the kitchen because I'm too cheap to buy a short hopper [emoji6]

Brilliant! I can here the conversation with the builders now: "I've put my coffee gear exactly where I want it! Don't move it, don't touch it, and build the house around it. Thank you!"

This is how I pry my eyes open to prepare for the madness.

Hi guys. My home coffee station is finally finished

I usually have a Profitec Pro 500 up there but for the past 3 weeks I have been playing with a CIME CO-01

Very happy to be out of the kitchen!

Ah some awesome setups... Love seeing benches with two machines on it... People must walk in and go... "Why?!?" XD My little coffee corner, Profitec Pro 500 and good ol Rocky Grinder (along with a bunch of other brewing stuff)

What model kettle is that Paul?

Hi Leroy. It's the Brewista. It's a hybrid between a dedicated pourover kettle and a normal kettle. I really like it

Cheers. I've seen the Brewista Smart with the pourover gooseneck spout, but not this one. I'll have to go looking for one I think, it looks good.

New setup!!! Notice anything new?

(there wasn't really a grinder/setup thread, so thought here would do!) Got my Quamar Q50P today, and keeping the Rocky grinder for filter brew grinding

mycuppa · August 2017

Ok Simon, I don't know you but you seem like a real fun guy. Notice anything new ? You have a collection of questionable tampers....what were you thinking. You drink takeaway coffee from brands and keep their cups in a worship memorial.....rememberence of how the mighty can fall. Your significant other is secretly very angry at you for hogging so much of the kitchen space for your coffee shrine. Imagine peeling potatoes hunched over a small sink.......oh what a naughty boy. You enjoy the distance between the grinder and your machine as it lets you sprinkle grounds that inadvertently spill everywhere thus marking this space as the shrine. Is there something missing.....did someone say......acacia scales, or should there be a heat shield protecting the grinder hopper from the cooktop elements in summertime ? Hope you enjoy your new grinder.

Stop, stop... I have tears!! I noticed the swanky new grinder Simon. Kudos! Now seriously... why all the tampers?

Simon · August 2017

Hahaha hilarious... such a poetic and brilliant post! XD Alot of it's just stuff I had laying around, just prettied up the area haha. Does look shrine-like huh! The tampers are as follows: the first is a convex tamper I bought many moons ago, for some unknown reason! Second is one from my old workplace they gave me as a gift. Third is a 58mm tamper. And the one on the mat is a 58.5mm Pullman which I actually use

. The takeaway cups I'm not too sure, I just had them, and stacked them! Haha we do have lots of other bench space around, although I have taken up that whole corner, but my girlfriend is very understanding and supportive of the insanity

And I sprinkle it like pixie dust whilst prancing about! XD nah they just fit nicely there, and I like having distance between machine and grinder, don't want any possibility of moisture near the grinder! And no Acacia, but Hario scales

Now that I look back at it, it is quite ridiculous! And thank you

The end

Hahaha I quite enjoyed the post too, tampers just tended to build up without warning or announcement of any kind, either that or it's part of a coffee-based juggling act!

And I strongly considered some sort of shield... but when that stove gets a-usin' that tamper goes a-cruisin'!

Uuuupdate... Ah wish I could keep the grinders/gear spread out over the kitchen like this first pic hehe, but Compak K3 Touch Advanced as the addition

(with it aaall just piling in the corner in a nice decorative multi-tiered fashion haha.. not sure what to keep and what to sell yet..)

mycuppa · October 2017

Sneaky play Simon, love your work.......Oh, and you got us........thinking all along you had noble intent to reduce the shrine and it's just grown larger replete with pot-plant stand, sorry coffee cup holder ! You should write a book or film a UTube on how to "get away with it". p.s. I see space for a Robur squeezed to the right of the K3.

Simon · October 2017

HAHA XD sneaky or out of control! Yes it just keeps growing, like a juiced up garden haha.. I will downsize I WILL!! :D But you make a very, very good point about there being more space there for something grand.... Would be a shame to leave a piddly knockbox there...

K_Bean_Coffee · October 2017

...maybe a cold drip tower can squeeze into a gap

Hahaha ah wouldn't that look swell! XD Already got the V60, Aeropress and plunger tucked in there.. that and a Slayer, surely that would be fine... :D

Brett H · October 2017

I didn't see it as sneaky... more of a natural growth pattern. When an ecosystem is healthy, it grows! Feed that rainforest Simon, feed it well!

Simon · October 2017

Haha now that is definitely making sense, it must be healthy then! XD
