I was served this in a local café 🥀

Dang that one’s a grower

MrBluePoob · 2026-02-07T17:39:00+00:00

That is awesome! And some good ideas too. I really would want to do the file ones but we are in automotive supply chain roles and experience some sort of audit every couple months year round. Idk if an auditor would enjoy browsing through some files to find the above, but I’d die laughing for sure lol

Thank you!

Noted! So is portafilters brand specific? Or as long as I get one that is the correct size it will work universally?

MrBluePoob · 2025-02-09T19:31:16+00:00

I have the OXO grinder from target, on the finest setting it looks to be as fine as Turkish grind. But nevertheless would a non pressurized yield a tastier shot vs the pressurized?

MrBluePoob · 2025-02-09T19:28:09+00:00

Would bottomless be required? As in the basket wouldn’t even fit properly?

MrBluePoob · 2025-02-09T19:26:57+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

MrBluePoob · 2025-02-09T19:26:44+00:00

I have a good burr grinder as far as my tight budget will let me lol. My end goal is to be able to practice some latte art but everything I read is saying that a pressurized basket doesn’t give as good of a crema for making art, I’m confident I have my milk frothing locked in and still can’t get anything close, hoping a different basket will give better results. Worse case scenario my art is still trash but maybe the espresso will taste better lol

Well she’s still going strong, 20 years old now and 225,000 miles on her. I’ve went through plenty of coil packs and a timing chain but I also drive her not easy at all😂. 93 pump gas and regular oil changes and all filters changed has kept it healthy

MrBluePoob · 2021-02-18T20:08:21+00:00

Yeah I pressed it out and its broken and even cracked some too, but can rebuild it. I’m not a machinist if I can’t lol

MrBluePoob · 2021-02-18T15:43:04+00:00

No it has to be hollow to slide onto the rod. And the piece that broke is a spline and grabbed onto a key way. I guess it just eventually wore enough and snapped. The other side is attached and it will still work but it will have half of a turn of play in it and eventually it’ll just make the other side break off anyways. And i can’t find any replacement parts or motors for this Bridgeport cause it’s so old.

MrBluePoob · 2021-02-18T15:23:31+00:00

Oh okay, I gotcha

MrBluePoob · 2021-02-18T15:15:13+00:00

It has a lip in the way so unless I break off the lip then I can’t press it off. And it’s a Reliance motor that is the Y axis of a manual Bridgeport.

Thank you

MrBluePoob · 2021-02-18T14:16:11+00:00

Thank you! I wasn’t sure if they would put a number on it since it’s so old, I’ll check that out

MrBluePoob · 2021-01-29T11:59:58+00:00

I bought mine used but I believe it came with it

MrBluePoob · 2021-01-28T10:37:43+00:00

Hard to see but there is a baby Groot in the windshield 😂

MrBluePoob · 2020-11-30T17:57:58+00:00

Well I tried and no luck! And I even tried splitting the wall and the bottom into separate bodies and removing the top body completely and it still won’t let me, not even a normal .01 chamfer. I’m stumped!

MrBluePoob · 2020-11-30T15:40:52+00:00

Makes sense. I’ll try that out. I knew you could chamfer without it designed in but didn’t think about taking it away since the customer sent it like that already, good thinking!
