Knex Coffee machine

last photo ←

In the chatroom today, there was a lot of stress. So the conversation drifted towards coffee! Monk and Dj radio thought that I should try making a knex coffee maker, and here it is!
you can probably build it from the pics...

The hot water will NOT melt/damage the knex! This is 100%safe! (unless you have a little accident).

Enjoy!

Sweet! It's sort of sad how so much of the k'nex community here has died... But it's great that people still make things :)

Sweet! this is the kind of Knex I'd like to see...

You remember your coffee instructable, well you forgot about drip coffee, witch is the most conventional coffee available ( Camping, power outages etc. etc.) So maybe.........

I'll grant you one... It's worth adding...

Thanks! I think I did a very neat job, and it is completely customizable, (add more funnels for stronger coffee Etc.) So will you?

It's a great example because it actually shows what's going on in an open frame, it's hard to get a good photo showing the whole thing if it's just balanced on a cup... Plus it might help drum up some more non gun Knex stuff, which would be nice to see...

I'm saying yes... I'll get round to that later on, I'm halfway through building a site, it'll be up either tonight or tomorrow morning (the coffee bit that is I'm aiming to have a site I started today done tonight)
