An Engineer's Look Inside the xBloom Automatic Pour Over Machine

- I've finally added a non-espresso machine to my toolset, and I almost immediately knew i needed to tear this thing open to see how it worked. The xBloom is designed in the United States, and most of the engineering was done in China, so I was curious of what I could learn. I hope you enjoy, let me know if you'd like more teardowns!

This was great! I’m pretty intrigued by the conductors, though I wonder how much granular control you have with it. I wish the stream didn’t break up before the bed though
Hey James! Planning on doing a review on this one?
@@eliiiiiijah yes!
@@jameshoffmann Excellent! Looking forward to it :)
Rad to see the Hoff on this channel. Tate is doing some cool things!
Thanks James! For sure one of the most intriguing parts of this machine. The app just has 3 modes (spiral, circular, and center), but I'm impressed that the coverage is pretty good, unlike a lot of other brewers!
wonderful video Tate. Thank you for adding something genuinely unique, informative, and interesting to coffee UA-cam!
Man, I love the fact that you have a serious toolbox underneath your espresso setup! ♥
haha exactly! always gotta be ready for something to break
A true engineer.
"OOH USB PORT. Now where was I?"
This video woke me up from a 10 year coma and now I’m brewing coffee, thanks Tate!
I truly am a miracle worker
I would be very interesting in changing out the fan as I find it a bit louder then I expected...I would think it's a 5v 3-wire 40mm fan, so it should be an easy upgrade to a Noctua fan!
Nice inside look Tate!
Super cool! I'm somewhere between a design engineer and industrial designer with a coffee addiction and this is such a cool piece of machinery
Yes! Definitely from an industrial design perspective, it was a huge success 🦾🦾
Thanks for the video! Love seeing the guts into my xBloom. I so would have lost a screw when trying to put it all back together 😅
When's the xBloom Studio look inside coming? :)
Cool to see you cover this, I hope you backed the meticulous too cause I’d love to see this exact sort of review on it. Good stuff!
lol sad to say I didn't... not enough space (and money) to grow my arsenal even further
I’m interested to see how XBloom handles service.
Awesome video!
Can’t wait to get mine!
I have backed this too and looking forward to the despatch of the UK machines, it is a shame for a machine this well built and at this price point, they have not made it with a detachable chord or any aparent form of unused cord storage, this makes the machine more difficult to site and may leave unsightly cord lying around.
The water deflector is a super cool bit of kit, would love to see someone make a DIY automatic pourover machine with the same tech...
Uh...wish granted? This machine *is* an automatic pourover machine...and while it does take pods, there's a reusable dripper for DIY. I'm currently using it to make some incredibly good brews. Or did you mean a homemade brewer?
I felt the same way! Still trying to make sense of exactly how it works but I'm fairly certain they've got a patent on it :/
Thanks now if I ever have to take it apart, I have a guide!
Do you have a good Xbloom recipe for Lobster Butter Love? I love RoosRoast!
Feels like a 3d printer conversion would be hilarious
What material is the boiler?
Nice shirt! Was hoping you were going to get usb access to the machine :D
Thanks! Me too 😞
Any chance you are able to see part number/details of the water heater and pump? I was hoping to use it in a personal project since it seems to fit the exact specs of what I need
I had a similar curiosity but none of the internals were familiar parts to me, my understanding is that the majority of engineering and parts sourcing was from the Chinese market
@@tatemazer Ah thats really unfortunate. Reached out to xbloom and they wouldn't let me know since I didn't actually own a machine of theirs. Unfortuante really, maybe it'd be different if I had one but $800 is steep
@@riopacheco01 The new xBloom Studio is "only" about $500 or less with the pre order.
Fun little tear-down! :) How’s the coffee?
some pods I've loved, some not so much, but I love that there's such a variety of flavors from pods!
Breville dual boiler mods please!!!
1:40 - Grind setting: gravel
Secret cold brew mode uncovered 👀👀👀
Should've used the USB port to plug it into a computer! There could've been a treasure map or secret password on there!
oh you already know i tried! I couldn't seem to find any way to communicate with it :(
