First of all, congratulations. It must be a monumental task to design and manufacture a mechanical machine.

However, the website is kind of confusing regarding the operation of the machine. You say that the machine accepts hot water directly, so no boiler or thermoblock, which results in a simpler machine. But where does the water come from? I see 2 pipes leading to/from the machine in the videos, so I’m guessing the water feeds from one and drains from the other? So you need to preheat water in a container? Won’t the water cool rapidly while traveling in the pipe?



I have the same impression. I guess the machine is completely passive regarding temperature and requires a) a preheated water source and b) a hot-water flush before each use to heat the machine and push hot water into the hoses

That means it’s a pump attached to a grouphead.
