If you are into your caffeinated beverages, and the machines that go with then this post is right up your alley.

Gonz has made many a cool thing for me in the past, and after seeing his decanter-come-hopper for a coffee grinder I was struck with the thought a laboratory florence flask would work nicely as one, and marry well with my love for 'Breaking Bad'.

I thought I'd document the process which turned out to be two days of filming and almost as much time to edit.   So grind and pour yourself a brew, get comfortable and prepare to be entertained.


 

BAM!

The finished product at home, paired with a Grimac Mini E61 headed, twin boiler and BMX portafilter also fabricated by Gonzlab - be sure to follow him on the 'gram.
