Drink to me only with thine eyes - a coffee accessory photo thread

UNM

We all like photos of cups, glasses and other coffee accessories.

So take some pics and post them here.

I just got some new espresso glasses from the local salvos. Will post up a pic when I get them home.

Ok, took this while waiting for a client. Not bad at $5 for a set of four.

My Reg Barber tamper, polished the base myself, vast improvement on the machined finish, smooth as a babies bum. By santalum at 2011-12-29

He He, like the play on word Muscles. Simple process, I used a flat piece of marble as a lapping base, I imagine glass on a solid base would work as well. From memory started with 400 wet and dry, wet, then 600, 800, 1200 and polished on a cloth buff with stainless buffing compound. Despite copping some flack from some of those in the industry I have never regretted the move, nothing sticks to it, very smooth to us, and polishes pucks beautifully. Polished it 3 or 4 years ago and it's still as smooth and shiny as the day it was done.

Ahhh very cool... Me and power tools don't really get along but I do have some wet and dry (actually Micro-Mesh up to 12000 grit) as well as 1 micron CrOx and 0.5 micron Diamond Spray handy, so I might give the Espro a shoine over the coming days and if all works well it's on to the pullman... Thanks for the inspiration  :thumb:

Gem cutter eh, 12000 might be just a tad fine, if you take it down to 1200 or 2000 removing all scratches then find a local friendly chrome plater, they should be able to give it a quick hit on the buff, only takes a matter of seconds.
