On the YouTube channel Nerdforge, a fully functional desktop computer with a coffee maker, grinder, and bean roaster was demonstrated. The owner of the PC will be able to get fresh coffee with milk without getting up from the table - the device quickly roasts, grinds, and prepares the drink.
Norwegian YouTubers Martina and Hansi from Nerdforge are known for their interesting and complex craft projects - Martina even made herself a missing pinky finger on her left hand. The creation of the coffee shop computer took up most of their April. In addition to the grinding, roasting, and brewing mechanism, they completed the internal and external decoration of the Corsair 1000D case with wood.
The device was built around the coffee system, while the computer components and visual design remained behind the scenes. To avoid generic solutions that developers considered subpar, ready-made coffee grinder and coffee maker were disassembled and connected to Arduino for control and synchronization. The system also had sensors that ensured, among other things, that there was a cup for coffee in the device during coffee pouring. The computer includes an Intel i7-14700K processor and an NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti graphics card, so gaming on it is also enjoyable.
Commentators have noticed several potential drawbacks to the assembly, mainly related to the combination of food products and computer components. Such a design seems to lead to excessive moisture and heat inside the case. However, the computer's cooling air system effectively keeps hot air away from the PC components.
Another concern is dust accumulation in the computer. However, Martina has taken on the commitment to use the computer for daily coffee making and to review the device in the future. Subsequently, enthusiasts will highlight on Instagram the daily use of the device and any changes that need to be made.
