I just installed one of these espresso machines. Best money I’ve ever spent. I’m selling a shit load of cups of coffee. The Italian machines are truly excellent. And the smell Of coffee as you walk into my petrol Station is fantastic.
1:41 is called a "flow meter" it's actually used to calculate how much water is going into the machine. If it isn't receiving enough, the machine will stop heating in order to keep the machine safe. I want to add to this, if it's an automatic machine (meaning you can program the doses) the flowmeter then is also used to tell the machine's mother board how much water the grouphead is receiving and when to stop the brew.
Espresso is a coffee-brewing method of Italian origin, in which a small amount of nearly boiling water is forced under 9-10 bars of pressure through finely-ground coffee beans. Espresso coffee can be made with a wide variety of coffee beans and roast degrees. However Espresso does not mean made quickly but expressed as in pushed out.
It's espresso, as in press, pressure, not express. The word has nothing to do with time. Americans, all the distribution, production etc. none of the facts.
Every time this channel posts a video and I see the dot indicator next to the channel name, I always think I'm about to click on a "science" channel only to be reminded time and again that it's the "How it's made" channel. They really should rename this channel to "How it's made".
Excuse me, but I´d suggest you correct what has been said in the beginning of the video, as it´s very wrong. The gentleman´s argument regarding the machine´s type name is a common mistake. It´s called AND pronounced eSpresso (with the S instead of X) for one reason: it´s the passive past for "eSprimere", the italian verb for "to press" - as, in such machines, the water is pressed thru the coffee in the PRESSurized recipients. It might even be pronounced almost like eZpresso in some places in Italy. The fact that the coffee comes out in a relatively quick way, an eXpress way, it´s not only a desirable, but also a deliberated not-so-coincidence. Cheers! (with an irish coffee, of course!)
Reminds me of the Daily Dose of Internet clip where some Italian guy went in full shock because his gf broke some spaghetti in a pan 😂 That it’s against the law and such 😂
Did anyone else cringe at the use of power tools to do up a number of the fixtures without first doing a couple turns by hand to make sure they aren’t cross threaded, might just be how I was taught never to use power tools until you’re 100% sure they aren’t cross threaded 🤷♂️
It’s production work.. i guess for the very low chance that they would crossthread a bolt with 40hrs/week experience, it’s probably cheaper to just toss any demolished part out instead of spending time on such low chance issue for every single bolt.
It’s funny how at the beginning they zoom into folding one metal sheet, but the further they go into the episode, the more and more everything magically appears out of nowhere and is just bolted on. Like at 3:46… where did these levers come from? And every time they show only 1 bolt going in for each part. I hope they use at least 2 or 3 bolts per item.
This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.
I don't know who is doing the scripts and research, but it's gone to crap in the last five years and only going more to crap, calling a number of things by the wrong names I just want to face plant into my desk, do better research people.
Blows my mind how much work must have gone into designing each component and how each piece that gets installed came from somewhere else where it was braised/welded/etc. I'm trying to make an automated epoxy dispenser and have no idea where to start with manufacturing. I already have a prototype which was easy but turning it into something like is out of my league.
At 3:14 can someone more competent in the matter tell me why the tank is made of copper? Are they worried about galvanic corrosion with other metals in the system? Also, the fittings are all brass. I thought brass was not a food contact material, due to the lead?
Espresso Machine Tech here. Mainly for heat and electrical conductivity. May seem strange, but there's a metal stick called a level probe that juts into the boiler a little less than halfway. When the water in the boiler touches that probe, it cuts off the circuit that turns the pump on by directing that electricity through the water to the boiler itself, which is connected to ground, so it stops filling with water at that level to give the steam some room. The fittings and pipes are typically copper and brass, and its beneficial to have as many parts be made of the same or similar metals so that it all expands and contracts at the same or similar rate. The brass fittings really don't touch the water as the copper pipes compress against eachother because of the force of the screwthreads. If everything is connected correctly, the water only touches the copper. Though, the pump is brass, the flowmeters arent copper, and the groupheads are usually chromed brass. Plus, copper has antimicrobial properties... so that helps too.
Generally, no worries about galvanic corrosion as this particular machine is all brass and copper. Plus, lead free brass exists that is food safe. Other manufacturers use 304 stainless steel for the boilers and group heads.
Espresso is fairly complicated to get right but you don’t need a machine like this to do it, there are manual versions. A grinder that can grind fine enough and even sized is more important
Nobody is interested in how the sheets for the casing are stamped or the copper tubes drawn and bent. There are probably enough HIM videos about sheet metal and copper tubes.
@@LasdilElizaga Not too sure the filter baskets are more restrictive than a paper filter. In an espresso filter baskets you can see the individual holes and count them. In a paper filter, I can't. For espresso you do have to grind the beans finer, because the machine uses pressurised water.
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz Yes, espresso is more concentrated than filter coffee. If you want to make "Americano" (black coffee) with one of these machines, you would take a shot of espresso and add hot water. (Or some ppl say you should start with hot water and add a shot of espresso.)

Espresso is made by forcing very hot water under high pressure through finely ground compacted coffee. Tamping down the coffee promotes the water's even penetration through the grounds.[7] This process produces an almost syrupy beverage by extracting both solid and dissolved components. The crema[8][9] is produced by emulsifying the oils in the ground coffee into a colloid, which does not occur in other brewing methods. There is no universal standard defining the process of extracting espresso,[10] but several published definitions attempt to constrain the amount and type of ground coffee used, the temperature and pressure of the water, and the rate of extraction.[11][12] Generally, one uses an espresso machine to make espresso. The act of producing a shot of espresso is often called "pulling" a shot, originating from lever espresso machines, with which a barista pulls down a handle attached to a spring-loaded piston, which forces hot water through the coffee at high pressure. Today, however, it is more common for an electric pump to generate the pressure.
@@Hypercube9 water is basically condensed steam or melted ice, is composed by 2 atoms of Hydrogen and one Oxigen. Coffee beans are the seeds of a peculiar genus of flowering plants (called Coffea) which are harvested and then roasted to give the coffee the typical flavour. *GO ON. I'M HERE.*

Espresso coffee can be made with a wide variety of coffee beans and roast degrees. However Espresso does not mean made quickly but expressed as in pushed out.
And Americans think it's called an "Expresso" exactly because they think it's meant to be made quickly from a bag and drunk quickly. I'm assuming.
I was so pissed when i heard him say that it is called expresso because its fast.
I mean it's both, and a third thing as well.
It's expressed, made expressly for you (as opposed to batch brewed), _and_ made quickly.
It's espresso, as in press, pressure, not express.
The word has nothing to do with time.

The commercial espresso machines are very costly to buy. Hence they are supplied under contract via a coffee producer.
I always thought espresso was French. (Yes, I never once googled it.)
Waw such high quality. These are the one's that are in the 1000's of dollars.
This brand starts at 5000 for their machines
Most commercial espresso machines are well over $20,000
My home coffee machine was already 800$, the machine you see in this video probably starts at 5000 indeed like ken says.
