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

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

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

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

That's forbidden jutsu.

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

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

Its objectives lie elsewhere.

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