Any further news on this? Is the project still alive?

Seems to be moving along. They posted a photo of an updated piston assy. 3 days ago on Instagram.

Good news.

I also heard from Ross a day or two ago. The project definitely seems to be going forward

Is it just me, or is there some similar design language going on here...

No beef though, obviously with the addition of a boiler and a spring it works quite differently

Always good to see new machines come along trying different architectures and layouts too. Good luck to the team and I look forward to see what they come up with.

Seeing new stuff is always exciting and motivates me to get back into things - I have already iterated another version of my machine with quite a different visual design and new features which hasn't been shown here, but I hope to design and build version 3 this year at any rate

@Deus-ex-macchina Indeed there are some similarities. Personally I am actually looking for a open boiler spring lever machine. So I would like to find the love child of these 2. I wouldn't mind a stepper motor doing the heavy lifting either, but I guess I am alone with that feature request.

alive and kicking, or rather pulling. i had the incredibly good fortune of dropping in to Ross' garage for a covid-safe demo of the current proto. looking, and tasting good! i'll be one of the first in line when this becomes available for sale. quite the kit for target price and since i'm partial to levers, there's nothing else at this price point to consider for a proper 58mm lever with steam that i'm aware of.

New update posted on Instagram, they moved to the final stages of development and are in the process of building 5 prototype units for "testing, quality checks and marketing" purposes. The design had been slightly tweaked, most notably the drip tray was overhauled. Price is "on par with our original estimates", that is, around 800 USD. Attaching a render from the post.

Which machine is this?

I do not see sight glass in any of the pictures they posted!!!?
