Hello all! Important update today. We’ll be sending configuration/ shipping address confirmation emails this afternoon. If you do not see an email from Odyssey Espresso in the next 24 hours be sure to check your spam folder.
If your order looks correct then please do not reply! This is your final chance to change the steam wand position, powder coating, and/or wood accent color. You will have until October 7th to make any changes.
You will still be able to order add-on items like the double spouted portafilter and spare springs and they will still ship with your Argos pre-order until further notice.
Hardware
Great progress on wiring. All thermocouple wires have been crimped and we’re onto the miscellaneous grounding wires. We’re using quality high temp wire rated up to 200C to ensure longevity and performance.
Still lots of communication with suppliers and placing more production orders for the rest of our hardware ie: vented screws, plugs, chicago bolts, etc. after confirming sample quality.
All parts are in our inventory tracking software and we’ve been getting organized with all of the stock we currently have on hand. We’ll be continuing to update as hardware comes in.
A few months ago I mentioned the change in how the piston pressure gauge and transducer will mount. Below are some renders to show people what they can expect with the production version. By no longer mounting directly to the piston it allows swapping between spring and direct to be a much simpler operation.

Software
We’ve updated shot temp precision to be within 0.5C of the setpoint to achieve higher accuracy shots.
Sincerely,
Ross Ainsworth
