Absolutely cool project but unfortunately percolating coffee is nowhere near the best way to brew a good cup of coffee.

Good luck hooking up an espresso machine to a PC though.

It's not a PC, but SGI made an espresso machine inside an Indigo case as a marketing gag. The "Espressigo".

I assume that they're referring to something other than espresso if they're trying to get the best cup.

I don’t know what the pipes are made of, but doesn’t look like something I’d like to heat and run my water through it before drinking it

Usually PVC not dissimilar to your home plumbing; but yes at temperate it can leach.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

And of course, peculation means misappropriating or embezzling funds. Again, given crypto (and certain notorious crypto exchanges), even more appropriate.

"Humor can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind." (E. B. White) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

FWIW, I would not have known 'peculating' was a real word with a meaning if GP hadn't explained.
