Don't worry, I am actually working on incorporating a language model that will replace the control knob ($49 per month for 3 use tokens per day) as well as blockchain based coffee batch identifiers

This is actually the only place I've posted it haha. Will incorporate feedback from here (especially more candid video content) before proceeding. I filed for a patent a couple days ago on the burr assembly, and a design patent on the

It's petroleum based but it's not a thermoplastic. It's a really wonderful material though more expensive than you'd think.

It tastes different! Filter is fundamentally extracting an entirely different way https://youtu.be/yQpHnXKQNq0?si=j0UINumbw_NFAzW6

Thank you! It is definitely true that larger burrs have more surface area to retain grounds. In general, I think most people consider the tradeoff worth it in terms of flavor, especially because in my experience the coffee that builds up in

Thank you for noticing this, Oculo was a working name when the hopper looked more like an eye but now it doesn't! Clearly I've left some random references to the old name around. Could you point me to where in the shop it says Ocu

This is an incredibly complicated subject full of dissenting opinions and obviously people have their preferences especially across different brew types. In my opinion, the effect of densification within grinders with longer, or multiple cu

Thank you! And you should still design an espresso machine! Argh, yeah squarespace seperates the store from the overall site. Definitely need to re-organize and add some stuff, like an about us page. For now, you can uhhh watch me fighting

The ones out there now are wonderful, but quite huge and expensive because they rely on AC motors which sadly aren't very power dense and don't scale down well

Thank you! I used fusion to design and printed ergonomic/partial prototypes on Prusa 3d printers. Then, I fortunately had a ton of manufacturing contacts because I have worked as somewhat of a production engineer before. Some parts wer

I think I did make a mistake in not having the product in more real life environments. My kitchen is not very pretty so I set up a little photo area to capture all the images and video. Now I will find some kitchens to borrow.

Thank you so much, this really means a lot.

by smeeeeeeeeeeeee 2y ago
They are all real! But I definitely need to have more photos in actual environments.

by smeeeeeeeeeeeee 2y ago
There are actually no renderings on the website except for that one cross-section of the grinder, the internals are rendered there. But absolutely, going to add more "banana for scale" photos asap

Hahahaha, that is fair, but I like to think it is the important half =] We figured out how to heat water thousands of years ago. Flow control is considerably newer

Thank you so much! I appreciate the advice about the potentially over stylized product pages. If you go to the store here, you can see many full profile views of the products: https://velofuso.com/store You raise a ton of g

Hey there! Yep, you bring the hot water, the machine does everything else! There is a pressure seal directly in the group head that holds the water in at the end of a shot. You can preheat just by pumping water into a cup for a couple secon

Thank you, a couple of people have suggested optional cable clips along the stand. Will work on this. Serviceability is definitely a critical design consideration. Going to have a full spare parts catalogue available on ship day. Virtually

It was this exact question that lead me down the rabbit hole to making espresso machines. The main reason everyone uses them is because they're $25, small, and can leverage the oscillation of mains voltage for their operation. The next

I love all these machines that we're comparing to but they're fundamentally different things - they don't have a pump to fit into their BOM. So maybe: In the category of "machines that don't froth milk", it mig

It's the quietest electric grinder I've used but I didn't want to diss any competitors in particular! It has a nice low rumble for probably 45 seconds grinding a single dose. I think the noise level is helped by the fact that

by smeeeeeeeeeeeee 2y ago
They use Mazzer burrs, a classic! Niche made the single dose grinder mainstream though and deserve a ton of credit for that

Thank you, fixed it! >I think there should be a (optional) storage container integrated where the ground coffee goes. There is a little cup that fits right below the grinder, or do you mean something else? >I would expect a $749 grind

This is very cool! Also check out Gaggiuino! https://gaggiuino.github.io/#/ Hopefully going to work with their community to find a way to make it communicate with our pump upgrade.

Yes totally, I actually made filter coffee with it this morning. Sorry I will add this!

Thank you so much for the order! I think the trouble with using fluid-o-tech style pumps (I actually started out by buying one) is that they're really optimized for machines where the space, cost, and weight of the pump aren't a s

It's not inferior, it's just a different kind of machine! The main advantages are in the workflow - heating, brewing, cleaning, etc are all done by pressing a button, and the pressure itself is going to stay at exactly what you se
