====== Saeco "Nani?!?!" Nina ======

Espresso machine found in the trash.

{{:projects:saeco-nani-front.jpg?direct&400|}}

It's a typical cheapo espresso machine, but seems to actually use a 58mm portafilter. Unfortunately, it doesn't even have a three-way valve so it's never going to be great.

Spearheaded by [[people:noisersup:start|noisersup]] and [[people:q3k:start|q3k]]. Looking for more coffee nerds to help and hack/maintain/fix the machine.

===== State =====

Unknown. TODO:

  - Check if pump runs and boiler runs.
  - Check pressure at portafilter, adjust OPV to 9 bar.
  - Check temperature at portafilter.
  - Clean the fuck out of it.

If it's good enough, we should buy:

  - A real unpressurized portafilter with a high quality basket.
  - Probably a new shower screen.
  - Cleaning supplies: Urnex Cafiza (and might as well get Urnex Grindz for the grinder), blind portafilter basket

===== Possible Improvements =====

  - PID temperature control
  - Pump control
  - Gaggiuino?
  - Replacement steam wand?
