Espresso Machine First Shot

Eventually I'll make it not a pile of garbage taking up the whole bench, but this was just to test all the pieces.

This is like an exploded schematic come to life! You owe it to yourself to make a vertical assembly as an art piece.

How dare you call that a "pile of garbage"!! :))

As an engineer that's one of the most romantic images I've seen in a while. That's a Picasso without canvas or oils - literally a thing of beauty! You're an artist of metal and silicon. I love it.

Ngl I love the accidental minimalist design, would be really cool to include parts of that in a final design

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.

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!

I like the "exploded" aesthetic. Looking forward to seeing more

[EZLogikal]

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.

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!

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"

[Markfps]

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

[Schematix]

The CNC group head is truly stunning! Quite an interesting approach to measuring the volume of water. I've used several flow meters on my espresso machine with mixed results. I've been developing a customizable Arduino program to control an espresso machine for several months. Which may or may not be of use for your custom espresso machine? If you're interested, its called "smart coffee". Ultimately, I want to get away from measuring the flow from the pump and instead measure the dispensed espresso by weight. In theory, this eliminates several variables such as the amount of water trapped in the coffee basket, OPV return lines, and system priming.etc

A very educational point of view of an exploded commercial espresso machine. I like the nucleo over-engineering usage!

[jimdiet]

I like the way you positioned the glass in the beginning, so we can see the Alien image. Very cool project.

[YiLiu]

This is totally another dimension of espresso making. Awesome work!

[guidogaravello]

Spectacular engineering straight to the essence.

[idus]

I was looking up flow meters for injection pump element matching and found this. Apparently precise flow is linked to expresso. So glad this was found for me.

[donato]

Fantastic work! Well done! You make me want to replicate this!

Finally. DRM free, open source, copyleft licensed coffee without bloats from big companies

This is ABSOLUTELY the hardware equivalent of a software project under development. Parts are all over the place, looks more complex then it actually is.
