The basic knowledge of coffee machine transforms a computer into a coffee machine

Coffee lovers may have heard of Starbucks, the most successful vertical conglomerate based on heavy-roasted coffee beans, followed by cafes, bottled coffee drinks, coffee ice cream, caf é scene CD records and retail household coffee machines. In fact, Starbucks' success does not lie in the excellent quality of its coffee. The infection of relaxed and warm atmosphere is the magic weapon for Starbucks to win.

Now if you share the same enthusiasm as the enthusiast below, you can build your own cafe and gradually go out of the house to taste your own coffee.

Some people in life will never be satisfied, undeniably, driven by their strong ambition, even though they already have a lot of products and goods, they still have to find something unique, if you look at computer enthusiasts, what they are after is something different, something really special.

This Mr. Rene G from Germany is such a person. he has a pair of skillful hands and is tired of the pursuit of computer efficiency and visual effects. For a coffee lover, Rene G set a very different goal. It took him a total of 0 hours to convert a standard computer into a coffee maker, a super task that cost more than $3000.

It was a challenging task to prepare all the components of the Italian coffee machine, because the whole equipment had to be professional and comparable to the coffee machine used in the restaurant. After several auctions, Rene found a water absorption pump, a boiling trickle filter group, a water pipe group, wiring and a flushing kettle, and he even got an adjustable grinder made of stainless steel. But there is a problem with the motors used in water-absorbing pumps and grinders, which use three-phase 400 volts alternating current, but German city electricity uses a standard 230 volts, so it has to be converted using voltage converters.

It took Rene 10 hours to clean and prepare before assembling all the parts, and in many cases, he had to improvise by stuffing these coffee components into an already crowded computer case, especially when using the space between the coffee bean storage box and the grinder bean dregs storage box, which uses a large plastic bottle and removes the bottom instead of it. And the grinder bean dregs storage box can only be solved by an additional product box.

Let's study how to use this machine. First of all, this system does not have a fixed connected water source, so it uses a water suction pump to absorb water from a container outside the chassis. In the download video, the water injection will not exceed five scales. If you switch to an automatic water injection source, there is nothing wrong with using ten scales, and you can also use smaller pipes to increase the pressure of water injection.

When the water temperature rises gradually, the raw coffee beans go into the grinder. When the ground coffee beans are filled, pressurized hot water is injected into the brewing drip filter, and the brewed coffee begins to filter out. It is worth noting that when the coffee is started to filter, up to 3000 watts of power will be used, which almost reaches the critical value of the electric fuse.

The Rene machine can have eight different coffee brewing programs, including the ability to adjust the amount of coffee beans and water, brewing pressure and whether coffee beans need to be moistened at the beginning of dripping.

Basically, brewing a cup of Italian espresso coffee is only nine grams of raw beans, which is the industry's standard dosage, but in order to save money, you can reduce it to about six grams without sacrificing too much coffee flavor or even feeling too bitter. In many restaurants, this dosage has become a recognized economic dosage. This machine can make a cup of authentic coffee every 40 seconds, if the beans can be filled continuously. In theory, you can make 2160 cups of coffee a day.

Even we think this is a crazy idea. A computer player and a coffee connoisseur are willing to spend 80 hours building a special system, an excellent espresso brewing machine. Even coffee experts are impeccable about the taste. This machine is modeled with a computer case, which can not be seen in ordinary computer stores. It can brew high-end professional espresso, and its performance is comparable to that of premium models of the $1500 Jurac or Saeco brand.

If you want to try to build such a machine, you will encounter a lot of problems, because most of its components take a considerable amount of time to bid on the Internet and cost 3000 dollars.

The efficiency of this machine is worth mentioning. It can cook a cup in 40 seconds, so theoretically it can cook 2160 cups a day. Under the high-quality organization, it should be satisfactory.

The biggest significance of this plan is that for a person who is almost needless and can seek new ideas day and night, the value of money may not be worth paying attention to. What really matters is the challenge of complexity and the perseverance of self-actualization. After all, what they care about is being able to stand out.

Starbucks (Starbucks)

It takes 40 seconds for the computer to make a cup of coffee at the press of a button.

This is a different kind of computer, in which there is a full-function espresso espresso brewer, a brewing pot, a brewing and trickling set, an espresso bean storage box, a water absorption pump and a grinder, all of which are connected by the computer's data bus.

The filter outlet of the coffee is placed on the front edge of the chassis, and the brewed coffee is coming!

The water used for brewing coffee is placed in a container outside the chassis and inhaled because the system takes into account the portable design.

The ground coffee powder is placed in the original position of the optical drive.

The coffee bean storage box is made of a plastic bucket with no bottom, which can be counted as waste utilization.

This is a coffee pressure motor.

This is the structure of the coffee filter.

Once you fill this computer with coffee beans, you will want a cup, right?
