My setup is finally complete!

I finally finished the setup I've been planning for a while. I don't plan on changing anything else, at least until something breaks.

The Setup:

  • Machine: MiiCoffee Apex V2
  • Grinder: MiiCoffee DF54
  • Organization (3D): Coffee Blocks project (from Printables), serving as a Tamper Station + Organizer + Knock Box.

There are clearly a lot of 3D-printed projects here, from an angled base for the grinder to even a 49mm base I made for my Muvna Tamper, which I needed to work with the Step Down Basket I bought.

I live in Brazil, so my entire setup is either from AliExpress or imported via Amazon (Grinder and Machine).

About the Furniture:

The furniture of choice was a double pantry cabinet that fit almost perfectly in the space I had.

My goal was to store my drinks and have my dedicated coffee space, which can also beconverted into a drink-making station for parties at my house.

    Nice ! That’s exactly what I’m planning to get. DF54+Apex V2 ! Does anyone know what’s the best place to find them in UK ??

    I was thinking seriously about getting this espresso machine, I like the looks and aesthetic of it and it has all the right bells and whistles. In the end I went with the Gaggia Classic E24 because this is a Chinese Whitebox machine and there seemed to be absolutely zero spare parts available for it in the U.S. I know other parts of the world there are parts available. I wish I could have been able to give this machine a try, It has a Profitec Go look to it.

    Very nice. I have the same grinder and machine. What PF is that?

    I’ve committed to that grinder but was eyeing the bambino

    How is the apex? Price is close I’d entertain it instead

    That looks great. Beautiful machines and a great setup. Well done!

    Impressive! I especially like how you integrated the 3D-printed box. Did you design the angled grinder base yourself or adapt an existing file? Importing gear to Brazil sounds like a headache.
