Well, you have to make sure there is coffee, water, cup and perhaps milk present. You have to clean it regularly. I don't think this is very useful in the end.

That said, it's super cool, I'm sure the author enjoyed this and I myself would definitely try to do it too, if I had a chance :D

I want to shout-out the btleplug library again. I've tried to work with several different BTLE libraries in the past, and I've always had a ton of problems. btleplug works flawlessly, has as good of an API as is possible given the intrinsic complexity, and is a pleasure to use. Thank you btleplug team <3

"btleplug is a pleasure to use". I see what you did there :)

Making good coffee needs to be done manually, you gotta put your soul into it. Where's soul in GitHub actions?

Just put it as an environment variable.

And mostly, you have to put a mug under it. But now he doesn't rely on Delonghi supporting their app anymore

I'm surprised the De'Longhi BLE protocol doesn't have _any_ replay attack protection. I get that making coffee isn't a safety-critical operation, but you could do some hilariously annoying denial-of-service on the communal coffee machines.

Perhaps it is coffee [1,2], not porn, that is the principle hidden driver behind digital progress.
