I love espresso. But I don't think I'd be interested in a DIY option.

I tend to use Nespresso, especially now that the cups are simply available in the shop (and cheap aftermarket options), it's pretty perfect.

I know the manual process is more environmentally friendly but when I wake up in the morning I have no headspace for fussing with coffee grinds. I just need good coffee right away. And I don't even own a car or anything nor have kids so my footprint is pretty low.

I would actually like to have a DIY nespresso machine or an option to this DIYespresso to allow for easily making use of a nespresso cup's content.

If you're interested in experimenting with coffee drinks and technology, then why would you want to be stuck with buying the stale pre-ground coffee that's typically sold in the nespresso cups?

(In theory, you could experiment with grinding and filling a user-fillable nespresso type capsule, but you'd get so much more flexibility and quality by not being tied to that specific design)
