Description

A new knob for a Cafetière that allows weights to be added to squish the runny bit of coffee out from the sandy bits.

Details

After many years of planning, research and thumb twiddling, behold the Automated Cafetière.

5kg seems to work well even with a very stiff brew - just about overcomes the stiction for a nice slow squish.

Nice work, super example of keeping it simple. Oh, and making coffee is always awesome.

Are you sure? yes | no

The wife is a Finn, and I'm sure all Finns are coffee demons. Totally addicted now. So yes, awesome, but also necessary...

Pretty sure I just said the wife is a demon. Oh well!

Hahaha, that's a good one! Could have been very over-complicated with a stepper motor and screw mechanism. Or you can just sit back and let gravity do the hard work.

Are you sure? yes | no

Yes, it is helpful to have a nice big, heavy, planet on one side of the coffee pot. Saves all the work with microcontrollers, steppers, pulleys, string and silly hats.

Though I am rather partial to silly hats.

Are you sure? yes | no

I take my hat of for that dumb(bell) idea (-;

Thanks Gerben!

It's one of my better inventions - as it actually comes in handy :O)

Are you sure? yes | no
