  • Kafmasino ONE: Advanced coffee made simple

    We are two brothers, Sergio and Jorge from Madrid, Spain.

    Two years ago we decided to start this project, since both of us value good coffee and we love spending our free time by bringing new projects to life.
    It all started as a hobby project modifying a few coffee machines and adding our own software, but with the time and the progresses we made, we got convinced that Kafmasino could meet with great interest on the market. Two years from that moment and after a lot of work, Kafmasino as a brand is finally born and we are happy to launch our first kick-starter campaign.

    We have developed Kafmaŝino One to fulfil the necessity of home baristas who aim to make a perfect espresso. Our main goal is to develop a coffee machine which gives baristas exact, continuous, and consistent control over all the different parameters that the coffee machine provides at an affordable price.

    Due to the fact that we are not a factory, to have something reliable we needed to use a base of a machine and install the components that we felt were the best for our goal. After two years of testing and some prototypes later we developed Kafmasino ONE. We have the working prototype, and our suppliers are ready for production.

    Obviously, this is an initial prototype that is not closed to future modifications, especially talking about the software, which will continue to be modified and improved to adapt to new needs and expectations of customers.



    Now let's talk about our machine and what it offers.

    Machine:
    • 550ml water boiler
    • Independent thermoblock for steaming
    • Control with physical buttons or with tablet
    • 15 bar Italian vibratory pump
    • 110/120V version
    • 220V/240V version

    App:
    • Pressure and flow profiling
    • PID temperature control
    • Real time shot sensor readings
    • Basic profiles based on pressure or flow
    • Advanced profiles with infinite steps of pressure or flow/ limits, triggers…
    • Shot history
    • Community to share and download profiles from the app
    • Gravimetric dosing
    • Volumetric dosing
    • Compatible with all devices (BLE 4.0+)
    • Android and iOS support

    Smart Scale:
    • 0.1g precision
    • Accurate and reliable readings
    • BLE connection
    • Tablet experience:
    • 8" HD capacitive screen
    • 8 core processor
    • Android 10

    We developed Kafmasino ONE for ourselves, and now if you guys are interested, we would love to share it with you!!

    We have put all our heart and effort into bringing Kafmasino to life.
    Help us to make more people join our community and get the chance to win a free Kafmasino ONE.

    We will launch our Kickstarter on the 5th May,17:00 GMT

    Hi there!,

    An update about the project. There is included with every Kafmasino One a Kafmasino Smart Scale. We made a video about this topic and also its integration with third party scales.

    Check it out:

      Welcome to CoffeeSnobs!

      I am curious apart from the scale, what other accessories are included with the Kafmasino?

      Also, can the Kafmasino brew espresso and steam milk at the same time?

      How powrrful is the steam? How long does it take to steam 300ml of milk?

        Thank you for your welcome!

        We include the following accessories:
        + 58mm bottomless portafilter
        + Double espresso basket
        + Blind rubber filter 50mm
        + Cleanning brush
        + Android tablet
        + Tablet stand
        + Kafmasino Scale BLE

        Kafmasino can brew espresso and right after steam milk, there is no waiting time between both processes.

        About the steam power, we are going to publish a video very soon that will surely answer your questions.

          Some of you have asked us for a video of an unedited coffee shot, here it is! We will be posting more videos in the coming days:

            New update

            We started this project as a hobby, making modifications to different coffee machines. We added hardware PID and later we started using microcontrollers to modify the behaviour of the pump and to be able to read the different sensors that we integrated, temperature, flow and pressure. During the whole process we did a lot of tests and even made our own DIY scale.

            This was only the beginning of our story.

            We hope that with your help we can continue to advance.
            Thanks for your support on Kickstarter. (We already have more than 110 supporters)

              Hi there!

              We have uploaded a new video in which Jorge creates an Italian espresso profile with preinfusion while he explains the process and how pressure profiles works. Don't miss it!

              Thank you all for your support on Kickstarter, we are already 120 supporters!

                Hello everyone!

                This time we bring you two videos in which you can see how Kafmasino One pours hot water. From the specific option for it within the application and also from an advanced profile that shows how you can adapt the desired flow at all times.

                  Hi guys!!

                  Just a quick update, we uploaded a video of our steam.

                  We are doing some testing using our algorithm with constant dry steam

                    Today we made a double espresso based on a flow profile, here is the result:

                        Hi guys!!

                        Check out our new video talking about our advanced profiles

                          Looks interesting. What machine/model is it based on? That is - the machine that you start with. I’m interested in the maker/quality of the pump and heater block

                          Where is the temperature sensor placed? Is it in the heater block or in the basket? Same for the pressure sensor. Where is that located?

                          Will the controls be able to be transferred to another “donor” machine?

                            We have been doing some testing with advanced profiles, using different grind and beans.

                            Here is a video of a shot ?

                            The provider of the machine is Corrima, CRM3007. We have used this machine because of the quality of the components and the space it offers to incorporate our own.
                            For example, the thermoblock(1400W) we use is used by brands such as Jura. The boiler has a capacity of 550ml, is made of stainless steel and is just above the headgroup (so the thermal stability is very good).

                            We are using a Ulka pump (ep5/ex5), the temperature sensor is in the boiler, touching directly the water and the pressure sensor we have it in the boiler.

                            Controls are directly integrated into the motherboard, it would be complicated but not impossible to transfer

                            We want to give users a reliable advanced machine at an affordable price.

                              It's time for a double Italian espresso, we used a pressure-based recipe, check it out
