Yes, this sounds like my cup of tea (do you see, it is coffee, not tea, clever, yes?)
For a century, crafting the perfect espresso has been an art reserved for the experts, with machinery that's large, costly, and complex. Even modern home machines still cost thousands, and despite technological advances, they depend on the same archaic springs, valves, and pipes as their predecessors.
We had to rethink the problem from the ground up and design a completely new kind of espresso machine. One that would make the art of great espresso accessible to everyone for the first time ever. Introducing Meticulous Espresso.
Let the robot handle it.
Coffee aficionados know that manual lever machines can craft an espresso like no other, with beautiful flavor and texture. The catch? They’re extremely difficult to operate and require years of experience to read very subtle signals in flow, viscosity, pressure, color, and resistance, then constantly adapt your force in real time.
The magic of Meticulous is that it works just the same as a manual lever machine but very, very differently. It is the world’s first robotic lever espresso machine, using a powerful digital motor and high-precision sensors to automatically make the most gorgeous espresso you can get with every pull.
I am not ready for a new coffee machine yet, and I don't think I'm buying any tech off kickstarter again (remember the pebble watch?) but it does look good.
Estimated 2228 cups of coffee from my espresso machine 1 prob'ly comes to £0.96 a cup (including 3 years of coffee beans and servicing 1 so not the 'leccy).
