Jochen, an avid collector of coffee machines, sailed to Amsterdam on his fast Pogo 10.50 "Avanti" sailing boat and once there, he visited Tije's workshop to finish a project he has worked on recently, building an experimental coffee brew group out of metal scrap parts, mainly taken from an old milking machine.
Some routine needs to be developed for the grind and dose but the hand pumped brew pressure works well.
The very first extraction of the new device had some distinct notes of manufacturing, mainly machine oil but this somehow smoothed the taste of the "Philips Senseo" type extraction.
Obviously some work needs to be done and Jochen can't wait to work on this device some more.
