#2Nice images. It's probably too much effort, but for the grinder it would have been interesting to compare the now rather old Porlex grinder with the much heavier steel burr grinders you'd get recommended today. Those are very noticeably heavier and more massive compared to the Porlex, could be interesting to compare.

#3Incredible scans!
> Removing used coffee immediately after brewing and storing the AeroPress with the seal pushed all the way through the chamber (as shown) can help minimize wear by reducing compression to extend the gasket’s life.
But, that's not what's shown. Pushing the gasket all the way through isn't possible unless the filter head is removed.

#4Such a cool idea, and attractive images. However I’m kind of disappointed they mostly picked things that are fairly simple, transparent or openable, and look exactly the way you’d expect them to inside. I assume some combination of cost & size drove this.
A vintage espresso machine with 1 group head would be more novel, for example.

#6They picked boring things to look at unfortunately. Not a lot going on in Moka pot that you can't grok just by looking at and taking it apart. Throwing a whole all-in-one countertop machine might be cooler.

E-61! Second choice, Atomic stovetop espresso machine.
With clinical equipment you can image all sorts of things beautifully, but a hunk of brass won’t generate any useful images.

Agree, although it was interesting seeing the porosity in the casting in the new design.

And the aluminum shavings inside the chamber...

You just reminded me there's a video on youtube of a guy literally tearing a Juicero apart and it's hilarious:
