For Enginistas who believe the best espresso machine is the one you already own – upgraded. Instead of replacing your machine when electronics fail or when you want advanced features, our open-source hardware modules let you transform it into a precision instrument that rivals any commercial offering.
Our APEC SoM and related projects aren't commercial products – they're community-developed modules that require technical knowledge, patience, and a love of both engineering and espresso. For those willing to take the journey, the reward is a deeply customizable machine that reduces e-waste while delivering uncompromising performance.
Important: Our projects are open-source hardware modules designed for engineers and technically-minded coffee enthusiasts. They require PCB fabrication, component sourcing, assembly, and electrical safety knowledge. Installation can involve working around mains voltage and pressurized systems. No warranties or formal support – just a passionate community ready to help you learn.
Follow our engineering journey as we explore, experiment, and share discoveries. This is where we document challenges, celebrate breakthroughs, and learn together as a community of passionate Enginistas.
