About Meraki
Meraki takes its name from the Greek word for doing something with love, creativity, and soul — and that's the founding idea behind the brand: a team of engineers and coffee lovers who believe exceptional coffee needs heart as much as technology. Their answer is the Meraki Espresso Machine, built to combine grinding, extraction, and steaming into one elegant, high-end system.
The Product
The Meraki takes you from bean to cup in a single machine, built around genuine professional components rather than a simplified all-in-one compromise. A built-in conical burr grinder — co-engineered with Timemore — sits alongside dual stainless-steel boilers, a quiet 9-bar rotary pump, and a 58mm group head, the same size found on proper café equipment.
What sets the Meraki apart is its precision automation: built-in scales weigh both your ground dose and your extracted liquid to within ±0.2g, up to 1kg capacity, stopping grinding and extraction automatically at your chosen weights. CoffeeSense NFC bean-bag scanning takes it a step further, automatically setting grinder and extraction parameters based on the specific bag of beans you're using. Heat-up takes around 3 minutes, and PID-controlled brewing and steaming (85–96°C adjustable) keep every shot repeatable once you've dialled it in.
Key Features
Built-in conical burr grinder — Co-engineered with Timemore, with grind-by-weight function up to 1kg capacity.

Dual stainless-steel boilers with PID control — Independent, stable brew and steam temperature management.
9-bar rotary pump — Quiet, consistent extraction pressure.

Why Choose This Product
The Meraki is for the home espresso enthusiast who wants precision without needing to also buy, learn, and maintain a separate grinder and set of scales. If you want grind-by-weight and shot-by-weight accuracy handled automatically, in one machine, with genuinely professional components behind it, this is built specifically around that all-in-one workflow.
