Hear me out. Dehumidify the coffee first. (Maybe even grind it up finer before that step) then cuppify it. Then use stabilizing resin to fill all the tiny voids. Finally apply a food-safe clear resin coating. Then you've got a decent merch product. Especially if you put an HPC logo on the cuppifier so it emboosed it on the inside bottom.

[@ghaznavid]

Sounds like a good plan. Definitely doable, just has to follow the correct process for sealing and strengthening.

[@Insanabiliter_In_Linea]

That's gonna have to be pretty expensive, unless they just make it out of out of date coffee (which would be ideal tbh, since you're not, y'know, drinking it, would do a number on the coffee supply in Finland if they just used off the shelf coffee lol). Otherwise yeah, that would actually work really well, I've seen people do a similar trick with guitars, just filling it with resin and making a coffee-resin guitar body that just perpetually smells like coffee lol. EDIT: Then again, if the coating fails then it's probably gonna ruin your coffee and potentially be a safety hazard lol. Loootta caffeine in that bad boy.

[@teardowndan5364]

The top ~20mm of the "cuppinator" should probably be more like a piston to press everything that rises from the bottom back down when the top die reaches the bottom one. I suspect much of the cracking at the bottom is from material moving up through the die without pressure from the top to pack it back together. It would also solve your coffee bean escape problem : can't escape anymore once the "piston" part of the dies meet.

[@crandonborth]

“The coffee cup is quite brittle so that’s why we are only going to use the 150 Ton press” 😆

[@chris_2714]

Oil, or more accurately lipids, vary in coffee beans from around 5 - 15% depending on the bean (fruit) variety, ripeness when picked, and roasting time. Normally you don't notice it, but high pressure like this is not normal 😂

[@BixbyConsequence]

It would be interesting if they cuppified ground coffee that was heavily roasted (oily). Might be enough oil to hold things together better.

[@JimmyInKona]

coffee beans have an oil content! that's why some coffee snobs prefer metal or paper filters for making their coffee, the paper filters absorb the oils and the metal filters let them pass! I've heard it referred to as Caffiola Oil

[@kurvos]

What else would you use as filter than either of those? Because I use paper filter. Does that make me a snob? That's the only type of coffee filter I know of.

[@StevenStyczinski-sy8cj]

My brother and me did an experiment years ago to see if you could make coffee so thick that you could stand a spoon up in it. YES You can! One teaspoon of hot water and six ounces of freeze dried coffee. You are basically trying to make pottery. We did taste it. Very small amount; WOW! Now that was some real “ MEAN COFFEE”.

Absolutely a wonderful idea! Lyophilized powders/granules usually have around 1% water in them, The coffee bean try is very cool - you need to add a percentage of ground beans to "hold" the round beans. Also - what about cocoa beans??

[@budm9982]

[@xj96jeeping]

[@CDCI3]

I think ground coffee would be your best bet. It's not just the soluble parts of the coffee, so it can maintain its integrity when wet.

[@andybrown4284]

Ground coffee can make some fairly solid pucks from having hot water put through under pressure, maybe try with slightly damp grounds or use beans and make a really fine grind. Bagged pre-ground coffee tends to be aimed more for cafetierres and filter paper brews than for espresso. Freeze dried stuff with have gone to powder which would have allowed it to get compressed more. Makes me think you could probably press a small cube or disc from a teaspoon of coffee

[@IngeniousOutdoors]

I had a good laugh at anni lipsyncing lauris lines at 1:23 😂

[@gth042]

Cup maker is genius. Was this Timo or Hanna's idea? 😄 I wonder if a big-ass o-ring placed over the lower tool would keep loose bits from coming out at the beginning of the crush. I hope winter treats you well, and you guys are in good health. Thank you from North Carolina, US.

[@brandiwynter]

This was AWESOME!! I wonder if continuing to add coffee past where you stopped and pressing it would result in a more structurally sound cup? Or is it diminishing returns? I dunno. Either way, I absolutely loved this episode and you guys are great! You keep pressing and I'll keep watching and liking 🙂

[@davewood406]

This might be a thing that already exists but press the instant into tablets. Size the tablets into whatever increments (or fractions, like a half or quarter cup so you can adjust to taste) the directions give to make a cup... Then you don't need a spoon to measure, just the little stir sticks they have at coffee prep areas.

[@Kualinar]

You should try ground coffee. Try a variety of grinds from coarse to ultra fine.

[@lajoswinkler]

Dehydrated coffee is highly hygroscopic so you got some moisture in it and that's what was leaking upon pressing it. Not only is it hygroscopic, it is deliquescent - moisture would eventually completely destroy this cup, turning it into sludge.

[@Rick586]

To prevent stuff escaping the cupenator, maybe you could fit a rubber dome-ring-thing around the the cupenator itself? The end result would look a lot like a toilet plunger, where the rubber presses against the big metal tube that has been filled with whatever is going to be cup-ified, and then the pressure of the press itself will prevent anything from escaping (assuming the rubber doesn't explode from the pressure).

[@LA6NPA]

Awesome! Cupinator 10 million should have a leading pipe and the top tool should fit snugly in the pipe so that the beans can't escape and the top of the cup gets more pressure! Also, please try coffe for boiling, for drip and espresso (three different grit sizes)!

[@chincemagnet]

We use presses to make powdered metal parts that keep their shape for quite a long time without needing to be sintered. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen green parts (compacted powder metal forms not yet sintered) sit for months. But it can be done. I’m sure coffee grounds don’t bind as well as iron-carbon alloys designed specifically for compaction. However, we also use other tooling to help split the density, so it’s got an even density throughout, and not just on the top or bottom half, which would probably explain why your cup isn’t holding together well. Something that size may also require more tonnage.

[@bathbomber]

I'm wondering if you can put the press in a vacuum chamber to avoid trapping pressurised air 6:35

[@njrasmussen5515]

You would probably need a vacuum chamber the size of the room how would you seal it around the edges of the press tool?

[@njrasmussen5515]

I think if you make it wet a little bit first and then cupafy it might stick together a little better and just wait for it to dry or fire in a kiln

[@justaguy5770]

Maintaining the vacuum, while pressing would be the thing. Either a really large vacuum chamber or small press

[@clockworkraptor5269]

Give a whole new meaning to coffee cup lol

[@willgallatin2802]

A 2 part top tool would do wonders for containing the material you are making cups from. The fit would need to be around .01mm clearance between the outer first stage, and the inner second stage. The lower die seems to be rather good. Looking forward to the next experiment.

[@Qui-9]

Awesome. I think the mould should be designed to trap all the powder in the cup shape before pressing it, so that only air can escape during pressing. Then maybe the top of the cup can become pressed too. Maybe less cracking.

[@test-rj2vl]

You could try adding a little bit of water in the mix before pressing to see if that helps it become like cement - you press it to shape and then wait it to dray for a day or 2.

[@aapur]

One recommendation I have is to make the tool at the bottom of a larger cylinder. So it contains the beans to prevent spillage during compression

[@thesllenderwoman4360]

i haven't watched the channel in awhile and it's so cool that you guys have a full room for your press now so that doing the dangerous experiments is much less sketchy. I remember when all you guys used to have was some sheets of plexi and a dream.

[@leonv1553]

Might want to try that with a non absorbent material. Tin foil, alu folia, would work. It would be interesting to see what pressure it takes so the seams completely disappear.

[@nanaki-seto]

Crush the instant coffee and between each crush spray it with mist from a spray bottle add more crush again repeat till finished let it dry and maybe even bake it at 250. Instant coffee is very sticky if you only add a little water to it and used as a wood stain you can get a very dark very high polish on it

[@EnemyBikeCo]

I would suggest heating both the coffee and the cup mold to about 150F before pressing.

[@ISuckUnderPressure]

You should spritz the grounds with a little water and mix in some sugar to form a natural glue. Maybe even some high fructose corn syrup in a small amount. Just something to help bind it together and would also sweeten the coffee

The cupinator needs to be within a larger cylinder so that it is sealed off before it starts crushing. On this one, there is a step up in diameter that forms the rim of the cup. The lower forming dye should be in the bottom of a tall cylinder of this diameter.

[@LKLM138]

Maybe a thin sheet metal, or acrylic tube around the cuppinator base that rises high. And a more shaft to the press part to make in longer

What happens if you mix the coffee powder with water into a paste before crushing? It would at least deal with the pressurized air issue.

[@MrFunreal]

"i'd like a cup of coffee please" Also, you could add a collar around the top of the press, like a funnel. If any beans get pushed out, they just funnel right back inside once the press raises.

There was a cotton wool, spider silk and resin mix that was put under compression while it dried to make a hybrid material. While the spider silk would be nigh on impossble to get hold of in quantity the basic comcept is sound even if it's not just straight up crushing the shit out it, but needing to dry as well... not sure if there is any other recipes out there, or if it's video worthy, but this video reminded me of it, so I thought i'd mention it...

Instant coffee usually have some degree of maltodextrin added to help form granules instead of just powder. This is basically sugar so the dark coffe that look wet might be melted sugars? (possibly in combination of fats). The Xtra branded coffee here is as much as 40% maltodextrin but they hide beind EU not requiring ingredients declaration on coffee products.

[@HydraulicPressChannel]

I felt that the press also did quite a much work during the last 5mm so there has probably been lot of energy being dumped on to that densest part so it might well be

[@notsonominal]

(Nescafe does publish their maltodextrin content to be 3% for most products, but cheaper brands does use _a lot_ more to cut cost while refusing to declare ingredients)

[@garycard1456]

This press could make quality gunpowder (compression of damp meal powder into a solid 'puck', which is then allowed to dry before being broken into granules, is a vital part of the 'art' of making quality gunpowder). PS: obviously, this compression can't be used for mixes containing any potentially sparking material, such as metal filings or metal powders. And the gunpowder must be adequately moistened before compressing. It is only suitable for conventional saltpeter-based gunpowder. Compression cannot be used for mixes containing chlorates/halates or perchlorates/perhalates! Obviously, you must only use a bare minimum of pressure to compress damp mealpowder into a puck.
