Many years ago we used a hot P4 to heat mulled wine.

It could get to 60°C which is a bit low for coffee but was great for mulled wine

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

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

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

Time for you to use my 1080ti with Furmark too cook some eggs and bacon to go with the coffee.

Damn that's a good idea... orienting the graphics card horizontally would've made a little frying pan.

I 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

The 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.

This 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.

Thank you - I wonder, if in some microscopic way, the coffee is caffeinating the CPU too.

The CD ROM drive should open so you can insert a paper cup and then the coffee dispenses into it.

Kicking myself for not thinking of this... it's genius
