As a nurse, I can tell you what my first thought was, but no (also walnut would be a terrible material for that).

              That’s a valid argument, you’re right.

              Those things normally are the size of a small sauce dish. We use them to measure small amounts of coffee beans to make a single or a double shot of espresso (I’m measuring 18 grams for a double). The sprayer is the size of a small lighter. Measuring individual portions enables us to change beans in between and prevents a large stash to degrade in contract with oxygen.

              We’re admittedly a big over the top, but it’s a fun hobby and makes some really tasty cups on top.

                Tbh I’ve never seen greater or more intricate feats of engineering than those inspired by the consumption of habit-forming substances. As a psych nurse I encourage you to thank whatever you believe causes the world to turn for the things you are addicted to that are legal.

                  All my addictions are legal, that’s nice. And I’m not addicted to much besides coffee. Although, as my washing machine broke down two weeks ago, I showed some clear signs of withdrawal. It got harder and harder to keep up hygiene. I was stressed. I was really looking forward for my next fix…
