    This is my first posting, being new to jewelry making, I don't have
    the best equipment, or the funds to purchase all the things I want.
    I was looking into getting a steam machine to clean the Gunk after
    polishing. I was having an espresso when the idea hit me. I put
    another cup of water into my espresso machine, and filled the
    grounds cup with a sponge and turned it on. When it came to
    temperature, the discharge into the cup was slow, but the steamer
    (milk frothier) had exultant pressure and was completely
    controlable. These small machines are not expensive at stores, and
    can be found on the shelves of second hand stores, goodwill,
    salvation army etc. for next to nothing. I would not however
    completely close the flow into the cup, this could lead to an
    explosion VERY DANGEROUS !!!!. I have one in my kitchen, and one on
    the bench, they are very small.
