Pocket size Espresso Machine with integrated alcohol stove.

Step 8 Boiler Build, part 3.

1. Like in the picture, make sure that everything fits together.
2. Ugly solder everything together (don’t forget the nut that’s parallel to the water tube)

in the first picture here, there is a fitting with a hole in the top. Is this the 1" to 1/2" reducer that fits OVER the 1" pipe, or is that a 1" cap with a hole drilled in it?

This instructable is really great, but I find that there are fundamental issues with some of the steps provided.

I want to build this for camping, but I don't want to waste a bunch of copper fittings either. That stuff is expensive these days :(

If you mean the whole in the bottom of the completed unit above in the pic in the intro I do believe yes. That is the boiler component.

Is that non lead solder?

Yes. The builder was very specific about that in the first steps of this project.
