* Please keep in mind that I made this video for the purpose of showing people a fun way to build their own Espresso Machine for $100 using off the shelf parts. I get that there are a lot of enthusiasts out there who don't feel like this falls into the category of a "real" espresso machine, and that's fine. This video was not meant to be taken so seriously. 😉

This looks like a fun experiment! Thank you for this

Looks like an interesting device but it just makes a strong coffee, no espresso. It is basically an expensive and complicated aeropress. I would suggest having a valve for a real bike pump at the top and separating coffee and water chamber by a ball valve. That way you could actually build 9 bars of pressure in it before releasing that onto the ground coffee and then end up with real espresso.

@Reed-Publications Месяц назад

@@illousion7 As I said in the video, you can use any pump you wish (including high pressure pumps), so It's extremely easy to get 9-19 bars of pressure with this device. I understand the principle behind an espresso machine (I was a barista for years), but I think it's pretty clear that this device is capable of producing real espresso shots. I'll probably post a follow up video in the future demonstrating a higher pressure pump in action, but I'm sure there will still be people who will find something to complain about. Keep in mind that I honestly don't mind getting constructive criticism, but I should note that I'm literally the only person in the world who has tried this device, and knows what it's capable of doing. It's pretty hard to convince someone that their device doesn't do what it's supposed to do when that person uses it every day. If you want to prove me wrong, feel free to build one for yourself. * By the way, your suggestion for a separate pressure chamber is a good one, but you can get the same result from a simple CO2 pump, which I may try it in the future.

@illousion7 Месяц назад

@@Reed-Publications hey, thanks for the detailed answer. I am by no means an expert in espresso making. In the current setup, what sets the machine apart from an aeropress? I would happily learn more about it and find it an interesting idea.

@Reed-Publications Месяц назад

@@illousion7 The pressure is really the main difference, as well as the materials. You also don't have to buy replacement parts for my machine once it's built (unlike the Aeropress). The materials that I used are also built for handling high pressure, so you can experiment with the device using any kind of pump or pressure device you wish. It was actually built for the purpose of being able to hook up a large CO2 canister to the device, but I haven't really gotten to that stage quite yet. The small pump works great for me, but I'm constantly trying to figure out ways to improve the design. It was built with experimentation in mind, so feel free to build your own version any way you wish.

So cool love this !!! Budget espresso is my jam ☕️👍🏽😎 great video !!!

@timesf2350 22 дня назад

While this may not be capable of making true espresso by definition, this thing is super cool and any coffee enthusiast could totally take notes from this and adjust it to achieve the pressure needed for espresso. Super cool thingy

@arcadebit1551 Месяц назад

It is similar to an aeropress, but I love the Industrial design. I would recommend pre heating the "water chamber", otherwise the stainless steel removes a lot of heat from the water. Usually you brew at 92° C. The biggest hurdle for a good espresso will be the pressure. You usually want a constant pressure of 9 bar (130 PSI). Maybe an electric bike pump could work? Really cool project.

@Reed-Publications Месяц назад

Thanks! I actually plan on upgrading to an electric pump in the future (as soon as I find one that I like). I should note that the bike pump that I am currently using is rated for 120-160PSI (depending on the listing). A lot of people don't actually think that it's capable of producing enough pressure for espresso, but i can assure you that it does.

@testimoniesontheroad5895 Месяц назад

very clever, for camping peoplel!

@alienpsp8913 Месяц назад

Why make it with a screw in clamp instead of a adjustable quick release as seen from bicycle wheelhub

@eggspresso Месяц назад

What’s the max pressure on those tri clamp fittings? KF fittings are similar, but are designed for vacuum only, so I’d be hesitant to pump a triclamp setup to ~150 psi for an espresso

@Reed-Publications Месяц назад

From the information I've read about tri clamp fittings, the pressure rating ranges from 150 psi for large fittings and 250 psi for smaller fittings like mine.

Are all components Food Grade?

@Reed-Publications Месяц назад

They are indeed food grade. The primary components are all sanitary stainless steel, which are commonly used in the brewing and distilling industry.

@lorimcquinn3966 Месяц назад

@@Reed-Publications There is a considerable difference between "sanitary" stainless and food grade. This includes all seals, etc. Did you provide a source list by chance?

@Reed-Publications Месяц назад

@@lorimcquinn3966 - Not really sure how you're drawing a distinction here. These items are literally built for the sole purpose of manufacturing consumer beverages. Not only are these exact parts used in nearly all brewing and distilling operations, but they are also widely used in the dairy industry. If you are concerned about the materials, then I would recommend buying them from your local brewery supply store. I actually got several parts for my own build from a brewery supply store.

@lorimcquinn3966 Месяц назад

@@Reed-Publications I should have been clearer. A lot of people feel all stainless is sanitary regardless of the grade or manufacture. I've seen materials used in espresso machines which IMO have no place in a beverage maker. That said, I'm very specific by nature and assume the worse until clearly identified. I'm unfamiliar with brewing and distilling equipment, pardon the oversight, not trying to be malicious, just careful.

@Reed-Publications Месяц назад

@@lorimcquinn3966 Fair enough. It's always good to be extra careful. I even use lead testing swabs on all my parts just to be sure. 👍

@Eudaldc Месяц назад

just get an aeropress, it's less than half the price

@Reed-Publications Месяц назад

I was actually going to buy an Aeropress before I built this machine, but then I ran into the following problems. #1. You are forced to brew your coffee through plastic, which isn't great for your health. #2. You have to keep buying replacement filters for your coffee. #3. You can't brew proper espresso shots with an Aeropress. Only standard cups of coffee or weak espresso. It was these three problems that led me to the idea of building my own machine.
