CoffeeMe

CoffeeMe

The project about my daily fuel generator

Project Description


This coffee machine is based on the Italian Quickmill 3000A. As almost all of it’s functional parts are made of cast iron I decided to remove the original outer shell which is mostly plastic and looks very ordinary.
This required to build a new control panel which I moved to the lower left allowing for a place to heat up cups at the top right.
The three status LEDs are merged into a single RGB LED, whereas the switches and potentiometers remained its functionality.
I added a manometer as well as a hand-welded storage for the coffee grounds.
The final version also features a direct connection to the water supply which really reliefs the usage.
The whole machine is hanging from a stainless steel construction. Cleaning is therefore very easy as most of the grime is dropping directly on the kitchen table.
