Coffeematic PC – A coffee maker computer that pumps hot coffee to the CPU
- parlortricks 1y agoTime for you to use my 1080ti with Furmark too cook some eggs and bacon to go with the coffee.
- dougdude3339 1y agoDamn that's a good idea... orienting the graphics card horizontally would've made a little frying pan.
- WrexyBalls 1y ago[flagged]
- BizarroLand 1y agoThis is the right kind of absurd for a Friday afternoon
- dabumere 1y agoThis just made me smile
- dougdude3339 1y agoMeans a lot - thank you :)
- xandrius 1y agoAbsolutely cool project but unfortunately percolating coffee is nowhere near the best way to brew a good cup of coffee.
- m463 1y agoShould probably run cpu benchmarks while slowing water cooling pump + pressurizing cooling system above 9bar and expressing water through carefully tamped specially ground coffee and drip into cup. or just have a large reservoir, severely overcool the cpu and cold-brew the coffee
- MangoToupe 1y agoThis must be a matter of taste because I strongly disagree.
- ViscountPenguin 1y agoGood luck hooking up an espresso machine to a PC though.
- shakna 1y agoTell that to the gaggiuino crowd.
- Avicebron 1y agoThat's forbidden jutsu.
- sillywalk 1y agoIt's not a PC, but SGI made an espresso machine inside an Indigo case as a marketing gag. The "Espressigo". https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:SGI_Espressigo https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:SGI_Espressigo https://old.reddit.com/r/SiliconGraphics/comments/1eh9puu/sgi_espressgio_a_coffee_machine_in_the_shell_of/ https://old.reddit.com/r/SiliconGraphics/comments/1eh9puu/sg...
- dougdude3339 1y agoExcellent find - I haven't heard of this one. The marketing gag approach reminds me of the Zotac Mekspresso build by Ali “THE CRE8OR” Abbas. https://thecre8or.de/mekspresso.htm https://thecre8or.de/mekspresso.htm
- MangoToupe 1y agoI assume that they're referring to something other than espresso if they're trying to get the best cup.
- dredmorbius 1y agoVery little about this project screams "best" or "fully optimised". Its objectives lie elsewhere.
- dougdude3339 1y agoGlad you like the project. I might have special taste in coffee, this stuff is pretty good, but honestly I like instant too...
- Groxx 1y agoI'm glad someone is still building what needs to be built <3
- Joel_Mckay 1y agov0.2a needs to mine crypto to pay for its own coffee beans while peculating the coffee. =3
- MostlyStable 1y agoI assume you meant "percolating", but you very nearly spelled "speculating", which, given the crypto, seems more appropriate.
- fadesibert 1y agoAnd of course, peculation means misappropriating or embezzling funds. Again, given crypto (and certain notorious crypto exchanges), even more appropriate.
- Joel_Mckay 1y ago"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)_/¯"
- Dilettante_ 1y agoFWIW, I would not have known 'peculating' was a real word with a meaning if GP hadn't explained.

- zeta0134 1y agoThis 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.
- dougdude3339 1y agoThank you - I wonder, if in some microscopic way, the coffee is caffeinating the CPU too.
- jfengel 1y agoWhy 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.
- School-Cotton 1y agoI'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.
- macNchz 1y agoYou could recirculate water past the CPU via an insulated storage carafe. This would create a fun and exciting gamble wherein you might receive a freshly brewed pot of coffee OR your computer might turn itself off just before the water is hot enough to brew with, and the time it would take would be based on how hard you worked the PC.
- nottorp 1y agoModern Intel can help.
- _Algernon_ 1y agoAdd a heat exchanger.
- mikepurvis 1y agoNot sure if this is what you mean but an actual heat pump with a compressor could handle this— after all, an air conditioner cools your house to 23C by dumping the waste heat to an environment that can be 40C or more.
- reactordev 1y agoThis, 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.
- bongodongobob 1y agoIt better support RFC 2324. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper_Text_Coffee_Pot_Control_Protocol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper_Text_Coffee_Pot_Contro...
- throwmeaway222 1y agoIt does, unfortunately there is a bug as every request is returning a 418.
- imchillyb 1y agoTread carefully. This is how the Borg started. “Your caffeinated and medicated existence will be added to our own, resistance is futile… pass the creamer.”
- bluelightning2k 1y ago100% Java compatible
- layer8 1y agoIt should use the logo: https://mybcagroup.blogspot.com/2016/07/what-is-hot-java-hotjava-was.html https://mybcagroup.blogspot.com/2016/07/what-is-hot-java-hot...
- 9front 1y agoHe's using "Linux Mint" for OS. Should have used "Coffee Linux" instead.
- ghm2180 1y agoA 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.
- bialpio 1y agoWas a reference to https://xkcd.com/1172/ https://xkcd.com/1172/ intentional here?
- bitcrshr 1y agoNo worries of HTTP 418 here.
- nojs 1y agoFinally the Java logo makes sense.
- happycube 1y agoSomeday this should be upgraded to an 8th or 9th gen core i7. ;)
- iammrpayments 1y agoI 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
- ZiiS 1y agoUsually PVC not dissimilar to your home plumbing; but yes at temperate it can leach.
- dougdude3339 1y agoThe 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.
- Lio 1y agoI’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!
- yupyupyups 1y ago>The coffee is too cold. Don't worry, I'll run an Electron app.
- inciampati 1y agoNow do mayonaise.
- TZubiri 1y agoI'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.
- bawana 1y agotap->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
- reboot81 1y agoI need to make one of my own, when Im done fixing up an old bike for my fish.
- nanomonkey 1y agoGPUs 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.
