Paul,

If you need help with components I have quite a bit of stuff. I manufacturer home espresso machine on a small scale but have access to quite a bit of damaged stuff (with good internal components) you could have. I also have a bunch of salvaged power boards that have switches, triacs, power supply and zero cross detectors. I am trying to do my next project on PSoC 4 with Creator 3.0. Any chance I could help?

As an avid Aeropress user I'd be completely in favor of that one. I also use the steel mesh available for it; it minimizes waste! My favourite electrical coffee maker is my 70's Krups T8 Typ264 (Typ265 is more widespread) which unfortunately broke down a few weeks ago. The principle is very nice. An air tight seal is created, and the device uses a pressostat to push the boiling water with constant force through the grounds.
