Knex Coffee machine by Bartboy
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 :)

Nice! One of the few practical uses of knex I couldn't think of. Great work!

Sweet! this is the kind of Knex I'd like to see...
Bartboy (author) says: Dec 14, 2008. 8:52 AM
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.........
killerjackalope says: Dec 14, 2008. 2:53 PM
I'll grant you one... It's worth adding...
Bartboy (author) says: Dec 14, 2008. 9:25 PM
Thanks! I think I did a very neat job, and it is completely customizable, (add more funnels for stronger coffee Etc.) So will you?
killerjackalope says: Dec 15, 2008. 2:21 PM
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...
Bartboy (author) says: Dec 15, 2008. 4:44 PM
Does that awnser my question....?
killerjackalope says: Dec 15, 2008. 4:46 PM
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)
