After working in Italy for a while, I've tried all types of machines and shops in the UK to get a decent cup. I've resigned myself to the fact that I need to build my own and seeing that thick creamy coffee ooze out has inspired me to go full steam ahead with a DIY machine if you pardon the pun!
Why should the innards of an espresso machine be hidden? A bit of imagination on assembling these into a fixed arrangement and you have a winner product. If there is a competition for newly designed espresso machines, you should enter it in. I am thinking of either a flat wall mounted assembly, all parts and tubing exposed, - kind of like an industrial art installation piece - or a neat , compact, cubic assembly in a plexiglass enclosure resembling a distillery or chemical plant - Beaubourg-style - for a more user-friendly wider target group product.
I still got a gear-pump with 14 bar peak from my old oil-burner, nobody wants to buy now. Last year the membran-pump of our Espresso-Maschine failed after 10 years and we bought a substitute for 15€ never thinking about our brave old oil-burner😂
For the first minute I thought: Pretty neat coffee machine! Then I realized it's not the 3 parts I see, it's the whole table and beyond! Well well well.
This is an amazing project! With so much more low level firmware control, you can probably do so much more that's not available in existing machines, like custom and automated pressure profiling via pump / pressure sensor, direct group head PID temperature control and so much more! I'm hooked!
Holy crap, just stumbled on this video randomly... liked and subbed, can't wait to learn even more. Gotta love how quiet this is for being completely bare, no enclosure or sound dampening.
how a linux user makes coffee.

This is like an exploded schematic come to life! You owe it to yourself to make a vertical assembly as an art piece.
Ngl I love the accidental minimalist design, would be really cool to include parts of that in a final design

"Cubist Coffee maker!"
what was before? cofee or developers?
Finally. DRM free, open source, copyleft licensed coffee without bloats from big companies

"Sketchy firmware" implying most firmware
How dare you call that a "pile of garbage"!! :))

This is why so many engineers get divorced by their wives. "I told you before, if you Frankenstein another one of my kitchen appliances you're out"
This is beautiful, I really like seeing all the functional parts without a body, great work!

First i was impressed with this. Then i read the comment section and u guys discussing about the machine. Now im double impressed
Spectacular engineering straight to the essence.
This is totally another dimension of espresso making. Awesome work!
I like the "exploded" aesthetic. Looking forward to seeing more
