Keeping your espresso work area clean?

[MattyRay]

And again. Apologies for sideways pics.

I use a piece of plastic grid sitting in a routed out cutting board. Works really well as excess grounds from distributing and levelling just fall through the grid and are retained in the bottom part. Works particularly well for hand grinders as the transfer of coffee grounds occurs over the grid, and any spillage just disappears through the grid.

Sundays' little job, took me awhile to even understand what this funnel should be.

Looks really good, don't imagine you want to make another

A silicone pastry mat might be a good option for a laminate benchtop, grippy, cut to fit, easy to wipe down wth a damp cloth.

The best solution to end the arguments about making a mess on the kitchen bench is to get your own bench Best move I ever made was to have my own coffee station away from the kitchen bench.

I claimed a convenient area close to the kitchen sink, minimal consultation, logic prevailed, no argument.

I suspect trentski also used this material on the garden path he is leading us up...

[Javaphile]

I suspect what trentski is using is not what Yelta linked to but rather is a ceramic that is sometimes refereed to as transparent aluminum.

No mate, wouldn't mind knowing where it can be obtained in Oz. That's all...

What is this? The Spanish Inquisition?

I made my funnel out of clear aluminium. It probably looks much the same as yours but is much more hi tech.

Where were you able to buy some?
Sounds interesting...

Ha! and I thought you were joking, until I Googled it.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Oxford scientists have created a transparent form of aluminium by bombarding the metal with the world’s most powerful soft X-ray laser. 'Transparent aluminium' previously only existed in science fiction, featuring in the movie Star Trek IV, but the real material is an exotic new state of matter with implications for planetary science and nuclear fusion.
