There are many super cool modifications of coffee gear out there.
Both large
and small projects.
At the Danish coffee forum Espressobar.Dk, a
guy who goes by the name TheBat18, made a (in my perspective)
unique stroke of genius with his Dalla Corte Mini.
The site is
in Danish, and the thread can be seen and followed here:

Also TheBat
has given me permission to link his flickr page, since it’s still an ongoing
project.

For those
out there who are not as sharp in Danish, I will quickly give an explanation
some of the images as good as I can. I will not go into the techniques and
approach, as I have no knowledge of how it’s done.
He has
chosen to make bamboo panels for his Dalla Corte.
He has
designed a special mold the bamboo plates will be shaped in.
Afterwards
the panels have had the necessary holes cut in a laser.
Everything
is completed with finesse and perfection.
It is an insanely
ambitious project this one.
The results indicate a designer who does not
compromise with quality.
Furthermore the electronics has been given
a significant upgrade as well.
