I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as GE Coffeemattic PC, is in fact, GNU/GE Coffeemattic PC, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus GE coffeemattic. GE Coffeemattic is not a PC unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full PC as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which pumps hot java today is often called "GE Coffeematic PC", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a GE Coffeemattic exists, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. GE Coffeematic is the coffee kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's caffeinated resources to the other the user's physical space. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Coffeemattic is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Coffeemattic added, or GNU/GE Coffeemattic. All the so-called "GE Coffeemattic PC" distributions are really distributions of GNU/GE Coffeemattic PC.

I'm glad someone is still building what needs to be built <3

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.

Share and enjoy!

It better support RFC 2324.

A key with haptic feedback that when pressed runs the CPU/GPU and as water heats up the button lets you know. Calibrate feedback to temperature and ease off the button when the water is done.

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

I need to make one of my own, when Im done fixing up an old bike for my fish.

tap->coffeemaker->radiator->pc->cup. ?

really stupid arrangement. slurry from the coffeemaker clogging your rad and cooling block, not to mention corrosion

better would be RO water -> pc -> coffemaker no rad needed

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

Why 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.

>The coffee is too cold.

Don't worry, I'll run an Electron app.

No worries of HTTP 418 here.

100% Java compatible

This 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.

GPUs and alcohol distillation always seemed like a match:

I used to manage a scientific supercluster, heavily laden with GPUs. We were constantly consuming about 60kW of power. These GPUs were happy to run at 85C, which from other interests I knew to be the temperature where alcohol distillation occurred. I always wanted to install a heat exchanger and distill fuel with all of the waste heat.

He's using "Linux Mint" for OS. Should have used "Coffee Linux" instead.

Someday this should be upgraded to an 8th or 9th gen core i7. ;)

Tread carefully. This is how the Borg started. “Your caffeinated and medicated existence will be added to our own, resistance is futile… pass the creamer.”

Finally the Java logo makes sense.

Time for you to use my 1080ti with Furmark too cook some eggs and bacon to go with the coffee.

This is the right kind of absurd for a Friday afternoon

This just made me smile

Now do mayonaise.
