Amaizing cart. Thank you so much for doing step by step. Very clear and easy to follow!

[@bairdmiltich4935]

Great video. Thank you for a step by step, easily repeatable, guide to building an espresso cart. I will definitely be using this as a guide for my home workstation.

[@decentespresso]

[@dubiousjesse]

Great demo. Did you buy the gasket that goes around the knock box separately?

[@Good_Commenter]

good job!!

[@antonioleuteriovarona6332]

Hello Sir just watch your videos I would like to ask is it safe you cut the sactiin hose pump the the for clean water?your reply will helps me alot,,because i cut mine also there 2 small wires inside

[@kimby8134]

Thanks so much ❤

[@decentespresso]

You're welcome 😊

[@snowboarder92120]

Great video. Was wondering why you don’t use the plum kit with the pressure from the flow jet instead of the catering kit? Also is the machine NSF certified?

[@decentespresso]

You're right, I could, but usually I use city-water for the pitcher rinser, and high-quality spring water, for making espresso. That's why I keep them separate. NSF: no.

[@JULESVERNE72]

where can i source the pitcher rinser? Do you guys supply this as well?

[@decentespresso]

Yep, it's here decentespresso.com/coffeecart

[@deanclark2987]

any information on the back/side coverings?

[@decentespresso]

Yep, photoshop files and more info here: decentespresso.com/coffeecart

[@toddschulke239]

Can you please tell me the inside dimension of the frame that the plywood top connects to? I'm interested in dropping in an induction cooktop and would like to know how big the cooktop can be. Great job on a complex hack. Thanks!

[@decentespresso]

The frame is from the Ikea brand "BROR trolley" and the table top dimensions are 840x540mm

[@toddschulke239]

@@decentespresso Those are the dimensions of the wood correct? The top sits on a metal lip I believe. I'm interested in the distance between the inner edges of the metal lip. In other words, what is the largest hole that could be cut in the wood top. Thanks again!

[@redvelvetcafe]

What brand of espresso machine and grinder you used for this project? Ca. they be used for light commercial use

[@decentespressotech]

More info at decentespresso.com/coffeecart

[@decentespresso]

We used the DE1 espresso machine and a Niche grinder.

[@aa5512]

Any ideas for portable refrigeration for milk? Or, are you using that fancy ultra-pasteurized European milk that doesn't need refrigeration?

[@decentespressotech]

Usually I buy a bag of ice, and keep the milk in a coleman cooler, covered with ice. That passes health & safety, and it's cheap and simple.

[@Acid113377]

Does it only fit the XL and XXL or also the standard size model?

[@decentespresso]

Yes it does as the countersink can accommodate both models.

[@Acid113377]

@@decentespresso Thanks!

[@rollinontwentytwos]

Could the cart work for a two group handle machine. Which is 35kg and 20inches wide

[@decentespresso]

Yes, we make a two group version of the cart, with the wider IKEA BROR model decentespresso.com/coffeecart

[@rollinontwentytwos]

@@decentespresso hi how do you get the wheels on to the bigger one as they dont come with.. Thanks for getting back to me

[@decentespresso]

@@rollinontwentytwos You have to buy the smaller BROR, and swap both the wheels and the legs. The small BROR legs are compatible with the bigger bror table. Then you build the smaller bror table without wheels and use it for something else.

[@decentespresso]

@@rollinontwentytwos At 0:33 into this video you can see that this is what I did, with the smaller bror tablet in the back of the room without wheels: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4HCf6Snfq-VgtE&feature=emb_logo

[@WeBuild4Life]

So you specifically mention you used short screws when screwing in the power strip to the table, but you screwed everything else into the bottom as well, no? Is the catering kit held in via suction? What about the flo-jet?

[@decentespresso]

all with short screws. But the replacement top that we sell is a lot thicker than the IKEA one, so the screw length is less of a worry.

[@WeBuild4Life]

@@decentespresso oh awesome. Thanks again. I hope to do a pretty in depth review and showing of everything once I get it all purchased. Love what you're doing.

[@decentespresso]

@@WeBuild4Life fantastic

[@veganpotterthevegan]

I would have put a tiny bit of epoxy down for that power strip. Or screw in two plates to hold it down with additional dinky screws

[@decentespresso]

Not a bad idea that!

[@christianstorey8721]

what would be the possibility that these could be custom made or mass produced for first timers to purchase in order to get started??

[@decentespresso]

It's very expensive for us to ship a pre-made cart, on the order of USD$1000, because it's so heavy and large. That's why we're not offering it at the moment.

[@decentespresso]

You can buy a pre-cut and pre-varnished top from us, and then the rest of the work is pretty easy. See decentespresso.com/coffeecart

[@DennisRobert1]

I love everything about this video, so I forgive you for misspelling espresso.

[@decentespresso]

You'll need to forgive the Italians, as "expresso" is the correct spelling in Latin, which the French, Spanish and Portuguese use. Italian changed the X to S. As I live in France, that's why I spell it that way. :-D

[@nicolae-stefancurpas2490]

He's gone all that way to brand it as "expresso" 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@decentespressotech]

It's spelled that way in Latin, French, Portuguese and Spanish. It's the Italians that mis-spell it :D
