Projects & Rebuilds
This section turns isolated mod talk into structured build logs. It is where machine owners document a real objective, the parts they used, the problems they hit, and what changed in the cup or the workflow. This makes the site feel alive and technical without opening the door to low-value forum noise.
ShopWhat a real project page should feel like
A good project page is part workbench log, part learning asset. It should feel concrete, visual, and honest about mistakes.

Three kinds of project logs worth publishing
Mechanical comfort upgrades
Steam knob changes, panel swaps, drip tray changes, and workflow improvements that are easier to attempt.
Control upgrades
PID kits, display modules, sensor additions, and the first steps toward more stable, repeatable brewing.
Full rebuild stories
Used-machine rescues, repainting, boiler service, wiring correction, and step-by-step long-form builds.
Recommended build-log structure

A structured log should include: machine generation, project goal, required skill level, safety checks, parts used, before-and-after photos, lessons learned, and next recommended pages. This keeps the section useful for readers and safe for the brand.
