Got 2.5 up in the Brewing equipment forum, but 1 is a work in progress..
The Gaggia 2 Group.
Its a Good Idea but it probably should be run past the Admin, bandwidth etc..
Perhaps a Permanent link to a Gmail or Flickr account if the site is bandwith Poor, which it could get to very quickly if everybody posts..

Sound like a very good idea! Hope it will be possible.

Here is one of my favorite colect. I is an electrical mocca brewer probably made in Germany in the 60´s. Its called FTM unipress and it has a simple termo fuse that turns it off when the temp turns to high. I bought it in a little second hand shop here in Sweden for like 15$.

Imageshack is another site which allows people to link pictures from for free.

Hy everybody!!!
Im so happy that my idea has been took with happyness from users

thanks to rice...i visited imageshack.us and it appears as a generic photoblog provider.id like to have a familiar place, only for coffee lovers, where we all can post our equipement picture, just for boast ourselves of our own cespresso machines, roasters, grinders

its more than a simple photo gallery

thanks

Re: Users machines gallery...

I am all for the idea.

I have had a couple of off-line offers for 3rd party storage (which was very nice) but at the moment I think the site can handle the space/bandwidth.

I propose that we work towards a "real" gallery soon but until then people can upload their pictures in this thread.

If you can rename them before uploading it should make it easier to move them around. Something like:

csg-machineName-csname.jpg

[csg] = CoffeeSnobs Gallery
[machineName] = Whatever its called
[csname] = Your CS username

That should make the images easy to sort into a new gallery and if someone has a query they will see who the owner was!

Nice one Andy!

Question: what sort of dimensions would you want the images to be resized down to? max width?

Re: Users machines gallery...

I have a silvia+rocky combo... like  so so many others, maybe one person can chuck that photo up and we can all add our CS names to that post.   ;D

Re: Users machines gallery...

Great Andy, i think that your decision is the better you could take.
Before expose my ridicule espresso equipement (you all surely have a great equipement comparing it with mine) i prefer to see other users equipement

So lets go with pictures!
