I made the Barista's Nightmare from a Bunn ES-1A espresso machine I purchased that was damaged in shipping. It was a fun project and actually works.

  • do you actually use this ? very impressive

  • @Johanvideo525 I use this machine every day for my espresso fix. The temperature stability and shot quality is much better now that I added three PID controllers to manage the various temperatures.

  • very impressive machine, and the thing you need to change is de diameter of the injector which is way too wide, it needs a 0.8mm injector, the water is coming too fast. i like all the meters you put on it, really espresso freak overkill he he he

    i made a machine myself, you can find it on youtube with "homemade espresso machine" search. its made with a Faema E61 grouphead. I used a PID regulator with a K-thermocouple and a digital readout on the grouphead.

  • Pretty crazy looking. You should name it Frankenstein :)

    Good looking Shot !

  • Now to fashion yourself an LED source to light the pour! Hahaha. Seriously, very nice work on the machine. If my machine goes kaput, I'd do the same :-)

  • Night mare more like Heaven

  • @DrBones666 baristas nightmare.. steampunk's wetdream.

  • Naked, of course.Portafilter

  • Very, very steampunk.

  • wow, that comes from NASA canteen

  • Impressive. You really know your espresso architecture, components, plumbing, electronics and process. Wow. I would not call this a nightmare. It's a work of art.

  • That's some crazy awesome thing you've made there. Great job.

    I feel like I don't ever wanna be near it though. It looks like something that can do some serious shit at 88 mph.
