After burning away my entire weekend trying to get this together and also juggle life, I've finally got my machine back together. First glass was at least drinkable, just need to tune it a bit more I think.
The rest of the scale parts just finished printing. Need to get it all assembled and calibrated, but I'm happy to use my Acaia Lunar until then.
I received a defective touch screen, half the screen doesn't respond to touch. Still waiting to hear back from the supplier on if they'll send me a replacement. Thankfully, the web interface works perfectly fine for now.
Also, please ignore the stack of dirty dishes and unkempt counter. I was really going crazy trying to get this thing figured at some points. I should have just done custom wiring harness. It would have been so much simpler.
I use a breville, and a dual wall cup.
Never did get super deep into coffee science, measuring the water/bean ratio with respect to extraction time etc etc. Though maybe I could in the future.
I have access to an entire breville that has a bad motherboard, I've thought about converting it in this way. It would be fun to do, but would I benefit in any way other than the experience of doing it?
What benefits do you personally get from this?
