Crazy Portafilter Cleaner

So the gentleman from Pallo dropped this thing off for us to play with today. It a portafilter cleaner that you would use to clean out the basket between shots instead of using the normal bar towel or the like. It has a rotating brush that activates when you put pressure on it and scrub-a-dub-dubs your basket. At first I was very creeped out but we threw it in the mix for a bit and it worked really well...it claned the basket to a sparkle in about a second; all up in that ridge area too. Well, then the brush got slightly wet and things got a bit sloppier. We couldn't get it to dry off that quickly and the baskets were a bit more messy until it finally did dry. The video is after we got it all wet and nasty (and was shot with a point and shoot cam so it's kind of hard to see). The basket was actually cleaner than it looks in the video...the lighting makes it look like it has this crusty brown ring wich wasn't really there. So we rocked it for about ten minutes then, we broke it. I'm not sure how; it just stopped working. Whoops. Thought I'd share this contraption with everyone. Oh, and it's my first post here so: Howdy. Good to be here.
