I know it's probably sacrilege, but I avoid the need for one of these by grinding half a dose, tamping a bit then grinding the rest and finishing the tamp. I'm using a Breville Barista Express so couldn't (easily) use one of these even if I wanted to.
I'm curious how you retain the magnets in it? Are they printed in, or mechanically added later? (I know very little about 3d printing, this just came up in my top-6-hour feed)
I'm not really a coffee wanker so I don't know one way or the other what tamping halfway would do. I just want to be able to dump the grounds in, shake, and tamp.
The magnets are just push fit into little holes in the bottom. I just tap them in with blunt nail and a hammer.
Lol wut
Oh you know how coffee people are.
You 3D printed a dosing funnel.
I refuse to call it that! My machine takes a charge thankyouverymuch. I dose heroin to cope with my self loathing.
Jokes aside it just makes stuff cleaner. You'll be horrified to know I don't usually bother with a needle tool, I think French press and moka pot are actually pretty nice (honestly a giant fan of French press), cold brew is delicious but I absolutely cannot be fucked with waiting hours for my coffee, and if people like milk and sugar it's fine although I do think we could all benefit from eating less sugar as I think acclimatising yourself to sweetness mutes normal flavours in food.
