looks like it got hugged to death, and the archive.org snapshots are from when it was "under construction"

It's loading for me alright. Still seems to be very much under construction. The page for the main product is 404-ing for me.

I would provide an archive.is link but it rendered the page VERY poorly.

The product looks pretty cool, and I bet it will be pretty expensive.

Here's the project's GitHub link (also very early in it's life cycle, hopefully): https://github.com/diyPresso/diyPresso-One

I love espresso. But I don't think I'd be interested in a DIY option.

I tend to use Nespresso, especially now that the cups are simply available in the shop (and cheap aftermarket options), it's pretty perfect.

I know the manual process is more environmentally friendly but when I wake up in the morning I have no headspace for fussing with coffee grinds. I just need good coffee right away. And I don't even own a car or anything nor have kids so my footprint is pretty low.

This is needed now that Gagguino in a petty bit of drama is no longer offering source code, and locking into hardware suppliers.

Gaggiuino Gen 3 is free to use and will offer free software updates, but the source code is no longer available.

This decision was made to maintain high standards for the hardware required for the project and prevent individuals from fracturing the community with subpar, non-standard components and processes that were untenable for Gaggiuino’s community-driven support to accommodate.

Sincerely, *The GAGGIUINO Team

Aren't these things one of the most contaminant things you can have in the kitchen? Even the inventor regrets doing it.

Or is this different?
