Man... I knew I should have paid more attention in Latin class (four years of latin, no joke); I had to google "mea culpa".

Anyway, I'm going to be placing a small order tomorrow (need a new boiler gasket for the PID La Pavoni project). I think there were a couple of other items also, but I can't recall what they were off the top of my head (I've been in the garage all night re-assembling the drill press).

But yes, if you don't mind tossing in that small size OE cup, which we discussed (or maybe Barb and I discussed) last year, I would be forever grateful (and it's very likely it would make a cameo appearance in some upcoming YouTube videos too :-)

Thanks as always Doug!

Ray

EDIT: Just placed my order / Order # 8737 - I included a reference in the comments about the OE cup :-)

It's all good now....just waiting for BO parts.

About the grinder, OK I will take one! :)

Doug,

I'm an industrial designer/machinist/toolmaker, and I may have some ideas on how to fab that thing. As soon as I saw it I was already thinking about it!

Parts arrived this afternoon. Thanks Doug!

BTW, loving the OE demitasse; it looks beautiful! I'll post pics as soon as I get the La Pavoni back together and pull a shot into it.

Thanks again for the quick shipping - most appreciated!

I need to remember to order some cups next time I'm ordering from OE. I just got my Cafelat group brush in from them today, I had been putting off ordering one because I didn't really need anything else and didn't want to pay crazy shipping on just a brush. Not only was OE's shipping dirt cheap but they had it packed up and waiting for the mailman within like 30 minutes of ordering.

FYI, if anyone is on the fence about that group brush, don't hesitate to get one, they are awesome!
