Would love to play with it but for this price they can keep it. Dont understand me wrong, love the idea, but selling it for this price is just crazy. Consumers should be more aware that if they can afford something, this doesnt mean it is worth buying it.
If you don't like espresso and don't find it valuable, that's fine!
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 o…
I would actually like to have a DIY nespresso machine or an option to this DIYespresso to allow for easily making use of a nespresso cup's content.
(In theory, you could experiment with grinding and filling a user-fillable nespresso type capsule, but you'd get so much more flexibility and quality by not being tied to that specific design)

Well the bigger problem with Nespresso is the coffee/espresso tastes horrible and you have to deal with the waste.
The closest I've gotten to DIY espresso is EspressoForge: https://espressoforge.com/
Man I’d love to get this semi-affordably in Europe. Such a cool product. I use a Cafelat Robot for my morning brew and it’s consistently the highlight of my day. Manual espresso rules

I mean, 1250 euros is a lot of money, but that is very much on the lower end of prices for mid-range espresso machines. If you don't like espresso and don't find it valuable, that's fine!

Wrong narative. I love espresso. But comparing it with 250 euro espresso machine, I highly doubt that it will make 500% better coffee, for wast majority of the owners, cleaning one And I am not saying that any other mentioned "mid range" espresso machine is worth that money.
Love it. There’s a surprising amount of hackability in espresso machines — reminds me a lot of bicycles as an approachably fun tinkering project.
Do you know of any resources to help learn bicycles? I wish I could tune my own bicycle but can't seem to figure it out. I can build my own computer, change the oil in my car, paint a house, etc. but my bicycle always befuddles me.

You could make the same argument about a 250 euro espresso machine and a 30 euro moka pot. If the materials are better and the buyer likes it, it’s worth it to them at least. I think most people who own an espresso machine understand it’s a luxury.
