I know this build is a little off category here at OB, but I wanted to share it with the community (as well as other coffee lovers) and show however vast the possibilities are when OB hardware is involved. This is a powered stand intended to operate a manual coffee grinder. It is compact, light, portable and uses simple drive components (B&D Cordless Screwdriver). I will post two version, V-1 (Beginner skill level ) and V-2 (Intermediate skill level). Both accomplish the same results.

    Thanks Mark, it always nice to get Kudos from the man himself :cool:

    I'm a bit of a coffee fanatic, so much so I assembled myself an Espresso Travel Kit for work :p

    That tactical coffee case and the industrious grinder holder both just reminded me of an unfinished and very dusty project-in-progress-for-years sitting on my shelf. Tig-ged up a stainless boiler for a totally DIY espresso machine a few years back, never made more progress though. Got a box of solenoid valves, ptfe tubing, copper pipes and fittings, PID controller for the element already in there, and a whole lot of other ebay buys waiting to someday get used (;

    We seem to need a dedicated category on the forum for Coffee related hacks!
