Thank you Tony, I can now justify to my wife the second mortgage to pay for a machine shop.

Machining a thin walled part from a big solid piece of stock always reminds me of those old cartoons where they use a whole tree π to make 1 single toothpick. Great video! ππππππ

"We make an outstanding Tea!" No optimus this is coffee
-
Great video and build. My drip coffee maker died one day so I decided to build my own. I used a 1500 watt hot water tank heater inside a stainless pipe to heat the water. The lights in my kitchen dimmed when brewing, but it made a 12 cup pot in less than 60 seconds.

"I don't even like espresso, but this channel's got a reputation to maintain." LOL
-
"It just tastes like an espresso... with a hint of WD40." This guy is a legend!

Tony, I remember watching this for the first time, four and a half years ago, and being amazed at your work. And the fact that you turned about about Β£70 worth of stock into a Β£15 coffee pot.... but the $6,000,000 question is: do you still have it and does it still work?
-
Man, this is from 2016? Jeez, times fly. Honestly, would love to see a new version of this with your newer and improved video techniques... I mean, machining techniques, yes.
-
That Stefan brush gave me a good laugh
-
This is the best over engineering channel ever! Tip: if the coffee turns out bitter, you need coarser ground coffee. Suggestion: make a coffee grinder!

I love coming back to this video, I was 13 when I first saw it. Now I am 20... How time flies... It feels like watching videos of myself when I was little. Those moments where I realised "Oh that's how that works!". Thanks this old Tony. Thanks a lot

@this old tony Hi there. I'm Italian, so this qualifies me to criticize your otherwise beautiful work. I had to watch all of your videos to find an hint of imprecision, so I hope you'll appreciate. MR Bialetti has been a precise man and like every Italian engineer had passion for design and simmetry. So he designed the pressure relief valve placement to mark the correct torque for the gasket. He designed the Moka to have the valve and the spelt to be in a vertical line when torqued correctly. In effect despite that attention, even in Italy every day we abuse a lot of poor gaskets.

"Truth be told I am not that big of an expresso fan." At 28:36 in the video, the timing is perfect on this one :)
-
I think these are the longest videos I watch on YouTube concerning building stuff and everytime I see 30 minutes or so I plan on skipping some parts... but strangely with these videos again and again at the end I realize I somehow forget to skip anything :) Must have been entertaining. You really give them a certain flavour. Obviously the metal work is not your only skill.

I need 5000 of em by Thursday Tony...

Tony, love your content and your sense of humor. You had me doing a double take when you talked about the Higbee cut as that was my mother's maiden name. Turns out the guy who invented/patented it is my 2nd grand-uncle Clinton Allen Higbee. Thanks for the very relatable history lesson!
-
"that's why i don't like to cut perfect smooth threads"!!! hahahah you're a genious
-
Fabulous job on that project Tony, with lots of good laughs as usual! Good to see Optimus in there helping out! ππ»ππ»

When I was a kid one of my favorite cartoons was The Rescue Rangers. In one of the episodes there is some banter;. "oh you don't wanna eat here.". "Why not?". "It's Gadgets turn to cook. When she cooks everything tastes like machine oil."

"hey Rob Dahm, want some espresso" "is is billet?" "I got you fam"
