Cafelat Tubbi

[Endo]

I'm looking for a new knockbox to replace my Breville.

Anybody seen this new Cafelat Tubbi? Seems to match the Vivaldi sides nicely and is not too small lke the Grindstein either.

A year in development it says!!! HA. Love that part.

Haven't seen it, but it looks like we just missed this (sorry):

Maybe email Paul? Perhaps he extended?

Paul gave me a break and sent me one of the new Cafelat Tubbi knockboxes. I must say, I really like it a lot!

The coolest thing is that the black matte textured finish is exactly the same as the Vivaldi side panels. You'd swear it actually came with the Vivaldi!

It's a little smaller than I thought, but still holds 15 pucks. It's a bit bigger than the Grindstein and the soft bar is removable (which is a plus for cleaning).

I also pick up a nice Cafelat tamping mat at the same time. It seems to be the same shape as the stainless grounds tray that comes with the Mazzer and provides you a nice surface to tamp on (and less polishing).

I must say I'm pretty happy with my little "grinding lab". It's a lot of gear to do basically the same job as a Vario......but it's so much cooler.

Unlike the Tubbi, the Gralab timer is a lot bigger than I thought.

Sweet is the word!

I was this close to emailing Paul about a tamping mat, & just decided I didn't need it right now. Nice setup! I think we have a similar scale...

Thanks Bob.

Actually, I have the same scale but the 1000g version (see below). I like to sometimes weigh the grounds in the PF. I also weigh beans for roasting. So 100g was too small for me.
