HappyMartin Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Yeah, my dream machine that - just expensive! I'm sure it's worth every cent, I just don't have enough cents hahahaI was quite surprised myself when my partner bought it. She wasn’t even into coffee. The deal was I would buy all the coffee, which I was doing anyway. I guess I spend about R750 a month on coffee.

V12man Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 That has come.out well- where will you place the PID? In the case or a separate project box?
Alouette3 Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 Still waiting on the PID, will probably go in a case on the side. Trying to figure out a way to fit it in the case, but there might not be enough space with the water funnel and pump in the back of the machine.
