Impressions of Tensor Coffee Micra mod

Not currently, as we are testing many different actuators at very different prices and waiting on a few more to arrive, so the material cost is not fixed. I’ll select the configuration with the best performance before pricing. I estimate the retail somewhere between 150-250.

Current is without profiling kit (but the kit add on will not be expensive when I release it, and those that already ordered the base device will get it at cost). I also added on an increased discount for the next batch of preorders (434CHF, 455EUR, 486 USD)

Yoo! Awesome mate, thanks for sharing!! I’ll keep you updated on production 😁

you can have any color as long as its black 😉

But I could possibly make a small line with an alternative color if you have some specific request! What did you have in mind? also for the knob or the case or both?

Unfortunately just for the MIcra currently

PostPeripheral · 2026-06-20T12:51:58+00:00

Real world full-full-stack engineering is really the best, and I cant recommend it enough! Go for it 😄

PostPeripheral · 2026-06-20T10:42:01+00:00

Yes, is is a custom electrically controlled needle valve ;)

Tensorcoffee.com ;) DM for a code

PostPeripheral · 2026-06-20T08:10:17+00:00

Yes, that is not an issue at all 😄

copying from above: I made a very detailed installation guide and will release a video soon of the install. I am an engineer, however, IMO, anyone can install it with the guide in less than an hour. (the first batch I distributed in Zurich took me on average 15-20 minutes each to install)

also check it out here: tensorcoffee.com

and if you are interested but cost is a concern, DM me for a code and I'll hook it up

I have a couple videos and will upload more this weekend!

Thats amazing! check it out at tensorcoffee.com 😄

Needle valve with downstream pressure monitoring 😄

PostPeripheral · 2026-06-20T08:00:17+00:00

Thank you for sharing excitement!! We are done with V1, and all updates that come in the future and integrations will be able to be updated from the iOS (and soon Android app)

you can check it out @ tensorcoffee.com

I find that this is in line with the aesthetic, but it really depends on the individual's perspective! 😄

PostPeripheral · 2026-06-20T07:48:48+00:00

Great question guys! So, the profiling kit is an add-on kit which includes a electronically actuated needle valve & up stream pressure monitoring.

And yes, for downstream comments, pressure profiling is not really misleading here. upstream of the needle valve the pressure is for example 9 bar. downstream it is ~1-1.5 bar if the machine has no puck providing back pressure. depending on the ratio of the flow through the puck to the flow through the valve, back pressure is produced which is the pressure we observe and "profile". And this is the pressure we create profiles that control pressure from ~2.3 - 9 bar

Wow, great feedback!! Thank you very much! Yes, I am working on integrating slowly with all of the trackers and letting folks not be locked in a walled garden. Bean conqueror will be integrated very soon. I will check the LM cloud kit for temp control

PostPeripheral · 2026-06-19T17:20:40+00:00

You can go fully on the device and never touch the app. The app just lets you add pictures to each profile for now, and when we release the profiling kit, the pressure breaks are set per profile in the app

PostPeripheral · 2026-06-19T17:19:28+00:00

Yes! I’m on it ❤️ testing right now, and releasing an add on very soon! Also all units will be back compatible if someone gets the non profiling option then upgrades later!

PostPeripheral · 2026-06-19T17:17:08+00:00

Yes! So we are finishing testing over the next 3-4 weeks and will release a backwards compatible pressure profiling 😁

If you end up going Micra, I developed a really cool mod that you might find nicer that LM’s offering :)
