"Built by LEGO builder CorporalSpikyCockroach (sounds like a LEGO-generated name if you ask me!), this build turns the act of making coffee into something even more fun. Sure, you don't get caffeinated in the process, but you do come out of the experience feeling slightly more enriched and energized. The MOC (My Own Creation) doesn't have an official brick count, but it's surely in the 1000s if you ask me. Each coffee-maker even comes with a tiny espresso cup from which to relish your golden brew."
"For its compact size, the build is pretty detailed. It sports the machine itself, along with as many as 3 pods, a demitasse (espresso) cup with coffee inside, and other details like the water chamber at the back, a drip tray, and that lever that lets you lock and load your pods before brewing. Personally, even though this entire machine is merely a LEGO-based recreation, I wonder what it would be like to build an actual coffee maker out of LEGO. Something that uses LEGO bricks to crush pods and extract coffee - the logistics would be challenging (especially around the hot water, coffee, and the non-food-grade nature of the plastic LEGO bricks),"
LEGO builder CorporalSpikyCockroach created a LEGO Ideas model replicating the Krups YY5291FD Nespresso machine with high detail and functional elements. The compact MOC includes a lever, pod chamber, water tank, drip tray, up to three Lego Nespresso pods, and a tiny demitasse cup with simulated coffee. No official brick count exists, but the model likely uses thousands of pieces. The build celebrates Nespresso's partnerships with manufacturers like Krups, Breville, and DeLonghi. Practical live brewing from LEGO remains impractical due to hot water, coffee, and non-food-grade plastic concerns, though LEGO has been used to build complex functioning machines.
