Semiautomatic Coffee

In March I’ll have the house to myself for a week or so. This might be the point that I get in and look at making a better coffee maker.

  • Plumbed
  • Multiple hoppers. Load it up once a week.
  • Multiple timers, plus manual web app 
  • Coffee rating via app
  • On Brew light (think Afghan clock)
  • Multiple hopper loads (we like hazelnut on the weekend)

So… research time. I know the sink we have has a place I might be able to repurpose. Can I? I should add filtration. What are standard coffee metrics and measurement methods? I’m assuming darkness, acidity, temperature, and mass? How do I want to secure this? What failure levels do I want to build in?

First step. I need to build plant watering system. If I can have that run for a few months with no accidents, the Wif will probably be more amiable to this idea.
