All it takes is one simple statement, and a whole smorgasbord of ideas start flowing in...
Recently I was out to lunch with a friend of mine and I mentioned, kind of flippantly "Let's build our own coffee machine from scratch"; both of us are coffee enthusiasts and enjoy the many wonders of the coffee culture in Melbourne. In the intervening days, I have become in love with this idea of building our own - to understand the ins and outs of the machines which consistently serve us our favorite hot beverage.
I have created this blog to document the process of planning and construction of our own coffee machine; to convey the challenges and triumphs we encounter on this hobby project. We are by no means experts, and will no doubt encounter many problems. For anyone also somewhat interested in their own DIY espresso machine, hopefully this blog may inspire you and highlight problems to avoid, or provide neat things which work. In that sense, I would almost consider this "open source espresso" - eventually becoming a place where people can get plans and ideas for their own projects.
More to come soon.
