Doesn't look like it is actually open source, given:
> Or you could do what Norm Sohl did and build a highly configurable machine out of open source hardware plans and the thermal guts of an Espresso Gaggia.
(My emphasis)
- martin_a 4y agoWhere does open source start and end? You can buy almost all parts for the small Gaggia machines online. A complete group costs around 50 Euro, I think, and you can do with that whatever you want. Would you prefer CNC milling it by yourself, based on some plans?
- adql 4y agoWell, open hardware design would have that, but not exactly be the practical one if you can buy actual ready made part for cheaper than CNCing it. Difference is really that the open design could be repeated way before design based on existing part would go out of produciton.
