I’d like to see this project extended with AI to work out what drink the user really wants before dispensing a drink almost, but not entirely, unlike tea.

Coffeematic PC – A coffee maker computer that pumps hot coffee to the CPU

#42Why not rig it the other way: pump water past the CPU, then through your coffee grounds? It probably wouldn't be great for your CPU, because the temperature required to properly brew coffee is hotter than you really want for your CPU. But maybe get the water to 80C, and a secondary heater after that.
Maybe one wants a mini heat pump between the CPU and the coffee. 50º C is plenty for a heat pump to very efficiently push the temperature on the other side to 98º C or so

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

I'm not expert in CPU water cooling but I'd guess the CPU would have to be way over 100C in order to get the water to 80C quickly.
Modern Intel can help.

This, except when it comes time to actually brew, it goes to a 5.25” slot to heat up, then you can determine the best delivery mechanism for your build. Shot/Kup, drip, pour over, just don’t build a french press PC. And have a reservoir large enough to replenish the closed loop circuit when you press the button.
The CD ROM drive should open so you can insert a paper cup and then the coffee dispenses into it.
Kicking myself for not thinking of this... it's genius

#47I'm glad someone is still building what needs to be built <3
v0.2a needs to mine crypto to pay for its own coffee beans while peculating the coffee. =3
Then tokenise the mined crypto. The tokens can be represented by coffee beans. The beans are now magically valuable!
Digitally enhanced coffee as fungible tokens. “Decaf” for short. What could go wrong?

#48This is the very best kind of silly project. :) I'm pleased to learn that the coffee is an effective (... sortof) heatsink and not merely part of the case.
Thank you - I wonder, if in some microscopic way, the coffee is caffeinating the CPU too.

#49I 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
The tubing and pumps are food safe, however, the radiators and cooling block are not. It's a special tasting cup of coffee best consumed in moderation.

#50>The coffee is too cold.
Don't worry, I'll run an Electron app.
