The standard tamper seems to work just fine

Excellent. Thank you. Ordered the IMS Competizione basket... everything should be here Thursday. I will dial in the Helor 101 with some Caffe Lusso Grand Miscela Carmo and call it done!

Arrived. Along with the IMS basket.



Is this the little trim that needs to be shaved? I think that a quick spin on the lathe should do the trick...

Done! Only needed a slight shave and now it fits the funnel fine...











All set!!

Has anyone tried the pressure gauge or other Picopresso accessories made by SWORKSDESIGN?

If you received a paper filter holder with your Aeropress, it turns out you can use it as a Picopresso stand. Credit to Kúti Gergő from Facebook for the idea, here's my version with an added digital scale:

This is clever. And that's a tiny scale - can you share a link?

I'm using this scale, but I needed to use a file to round its back corners and widen the front "gate" of the filter holder to make it fit.

Also, the glass can't be too tall or it would get pressed between the scale and the basket.
