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

This must be a matter of taste because I strongly disagree.

Should 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

Glad you like the project. I might have special taste in coffee, this stuff is pretty good, but honestly I like instant too...

Very little about this project screams "best" or "fully optimised".

Its objectives lie elsewhere.

Good luck hooking up an espresso machine to a PC though.

It's not a PC, but SGI made an espresso machine inside an Indigo case as a marketing gag. The "Espressigo".

Excellent 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

I assume that they're referring to something other than espresso if they're trying to get the best cup.

Tell that to the gaggiuino crowd.
