Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Like fuel pumps etc, they work much better at pushing the liquid instead of pulling it. That's why electric fuel tank pumps are far better than pumps mounted on the firewall by the engine (which have a habit of burning out in short order)Dodgy69 wrote: Tue Feb 03, 2026 11:00 am Further tests completed... It works, not the most powerful I'm sure but should do for job purposes, blowing mud away.
On initial prime I found i sometimes had to lower gun to bucket level, once primed it worked. I've shortened the tube but makes no difference, it's like the suction isn't quite there.
If it could be modified so that a garden hose attached where the feed line goes into the pump it would likely perform better... but that buggers up the mobility aspect.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Might give that a go or try raising the bucket. The hose will be easy to attach though but was hoping to use up free water, though what I'll use don't really matter.

A pinch of salt, more like the whole sodding salt mine, If you believe those figures you need your bumps feeling.Felix wrote: Tue Feb 03, 2026 4:27 pmIs this the same as yours? The specifications say its 38 BarDodgy69 wrote: Tue Feb 03, 2026 1:09 pm

I was dealing with a client last year looking to get some garden machinery made over in the land of the stolen IP, and was told by the forced labour sweat shop it was OK to label his stuff as being 4000 watts despite being only 1000 watts

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Does it make a much better espresso than a machine? (Only cos I had one similar and it was just a faff - but then espresso isn't my go to, so a machine works pretty well for me!). Although it does look rather lovely!!!

No idea, never had an espresso, mine's just a mug of black coffee, that stove top jobbie is said to be 300ml which is just a smidge shy of a mug full.Noggin wrote: Thu Feb 05, 2026 8:36 pmDoes it make a much better espresso than a machine?

A set of rear wheel bearing from Wemoto. Only reason it pleases me it came with a free scribble pad. It has been years since i had anything free from them. I remember you got a scribble pad or keyring with every order. I am sure i got a pen also.

Ok so coffee nerd I am not, a nice hot strong mug of black coffee is all I need, with that said.MrLongbeard wrote: Thu Feb 05, 2026 8:56 pmNo idea, never had an espresso, mine's just a mug of black coffee, that stove top jobbie is said to be 300ml which is just a smidge shy of a mug full.Noggin wrote: Thu Feb 05, 2026 8:36 pmDoes it make a much better espresso than a machine?

This thing (6 cup, 300mml) takes 2 scoops of coffee in its basket, which is half of what I would use in an Aeropress and about the same as I would use in a single cup cafetiere, and by crickey it makes a strong cup of coffee.
It's more of a faff than my usual methods, and there is some sludge in the cup (maybe the grind I get is too fine, but it is store bought pre-ground https://skullcrushercoffee.com/products ... g-free-mug ) but yeah I reckon for the one cup I make a week it's worth it.
