brickbuilder711 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Yes, I'm a coffee-holic... and I really like Starbucks. I built several versions over the years... The 2010 one is the most successful and standing... and it got a facelift. But before I reveal that one I want to share the video of one of the most intricate and time consuming mini builds... the Mastrena espresso machine! It's a replica of two small machines... They're automatic tamp and grind... and make good espresso. And yes, lots of us play with the steam wands from time to time... my barista friends did a Harlem Shake with the thing steaming once... but never recorded it lol. PART II will be the video reveal of the Starbucks itself. Edited January 27, 2014 by brickbuilder711 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy D Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Very espresso machine! Veryrealistic. Can you put the links to the build and the Starbucks in the thread? I can't seem to get them to work from the video in the post... Thanks, Andy D Edited January 27, 2014 by Andy D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still Raindrop Posted January 28, 2014 As a Starbucks barista, I have to say you've captured the look of the Mastrena beautifully. In my early barista days (before my disillusionment with the company set in), I tried to make one, and yours looks much better. I love the hoppers--very simple, but very effective. The detail is fantastic, and the overall build is instantly recognizable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
