It is amazing all the engineering involved with a little machine like this……time to find investors and start a TRUE MADE IN USA espresso machines manufacturing……great video!
Yeah I never understood why we don't have more American branded espresso machines. Americans consume more coffee than even Italians, even if they don't all necessarily appreciate espresso per se.
Nice project. Obviously well skilled in biulding coffee machines. What would be a consumer machine with similar functioanlity for a lay person not able to biuld something like it that i could purchase, please?
@@bailey2829 sorry to be a bother, but any keyword recommendations to an outsider? I'm familiar with pneumatics, and even own a few festo tanks the correct size, but I have concerns on their safety with food and heat since they are for manufacturing. Strangely enough I have almost everything else to accomplish a basic gas powered machine like I would want already on my shelves
@@RustyCantRead I'm pretty sure the tanks used in espresso machines have to be stainless steel, brass or aluminum, but I think brass is the choice for high end machines.
I really like your product and want to make it to make coffee for my family can you tell me what is the steam pressure of the big pot and the small one about the electricity I can Thank you
Would you be willing to share the Arduino firmware? I suppose I could try to do it from scratch, but I really don't know a damn thing about writing firmware or software (besides some rusty C++ I did in college). I have a chance to pick up a Nuova Simonelli Oscar but I think it has a bad controller so it would be cool to make my own.
I recently began interesting me about the construction of a coffee machine (for the simple reason that I would like to try having some good coffee directly at home, perfect like at the bar). I have some interesting theorical idea to reach that result (with an interesting control of temperature, pressure and time writing a code for Arduino). But my main problem is obtaining all the needed components...above all the most importants like the boilers: searching online, boilers are so scary expensive! 😱 Considering you could create your wonderful machine at a good price, could you suggest me where could i find, for example, a good boiler most cheaper possible? (300$ for a steam boiler??!! 😳😳😳 i think be really exagerated...and i didn't choose that one made of copper)
Hello, great project. I am building a two-boiler machine on the E61 group and the BLDC pump. Can you write where did you buy copper pipe fittings? There are a lot of systems, it's hard to decide. Maybe the address of the online store or the name of the connector manufacturer. Connectors and drain valves from boilers. Thank you very much, respect Sebastian
Sweet! I’d love to see your project. McMaster Carr is the way to go for NPT compression fittings if you don’t care about NSF. BSPP fittings are very hard to find in the US, but espressoparts.com has a lot of good stuff. You can also just buy stuff directly from LaMarzocco in Seattle but it’s not cheap, it may get you out of a bind though.
@@bailey2829 I have exactly that problem. NPT threads everywhere.Swagelok - most NPT etc. The E61 group, has a BSPP thread. Thank you with the answer, I will look for something in my country or in the EU in order not to pay the duty. Good luck in next projects. Sebastian
It’s a commercial rotary pump that you’d find on a 2 or 3 group machine. It’s made by fluidotech, who makes the pumps for most machines. You can buy them new for $100-$200. The hard part is finding a good price on a motor to run it, but there are deals out there to be had. Mine was full off coffee because the barista who was using it didn’t know they were using a bottomless knock box and the pump was below it lol. I took it apart and cleaned it and it’s been working well ever since.
It's a piece of art! Very clean build!
Thank you!
love this Art piece ❤❤❤

Slayer is made in usa.

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 because most of usa manufactures are dead
Something to be proud of, great engineering!
nice rig dude. really appreciate the tour of the machine. happy brewing x
Great machine! How did you made the part, that holds the portafilter? I think it's kind of a bayonet fitting?
@@NicosProjects thanks! That’s from a Slayer, I didn’t make it. They’re hard to find but even harder to make from scratch.
es verdaderamente hermosa! Felicidades me encanto esa cafetera!
Yeeeeei amazing i saw your video a couple of months ag o and I was wondering about it … thanks for el video!
Nice design, plumbing and wirng
Good job! Good bless u
Thanks for sharing!
She's gorgeous brother!
Hello mate, amazing work! could I ask for more information on how the firmware and programming and wiring were done? very impressive stuff
Yeah I've got a line on a broken machine and I'm thinking about trying to make my own controller for it.
Would you also consider building a burr grinder to go with the espresso machine?
Nice project. Obviously well skilled in biulding coffee machines. What would be a consumer machine with similar functioanlity for a lay person not able to biuld something like it that i could purchase, please?
Very beautiful machine.
It may need some wood accents to finish off the steam punk look.
It is literal steam punk! Not faux steam punk like most stuff.
Great build. Would you have any recommendations for sourcing food-safe tanks for such a project without being in the industry?
Thanks! You might keep an eye out for them on EBay or something. They’re kind of hard to find.

Can your next build be a mini roaster that fits onto a camping stove?

Genius and crazy cool.
Thank you!
really cool machine. What kind of pump did you use?
Good question.
can i get a link to purchase the air/steam seperator(vaccum breaker) on the steam boiler?

Where is the pump? It sounds like a Rotary Vane pump.
It’s a commercial rotary pump. It lives behind the refrigerator, on the ground.
OMG love it so much
What model is that coffee grinder?
It's a Mahlkonig X54. I've been really happy with it so far.
The brand calls Mahlkonig (form Germany)
What are you using for the pump?

@@bailey2829 nice, is it on 110v?
@@mikolajdebowski yep, it’s 110v. I just got a used 24vdc pump that I might rig up to PWM on my next machine so I can do pressure profiling…
❤
what a nice!
