As a Colombian who also loves coffee let me tell you that 3pm is actually a pretty good time for coffee we call it "the afternoon coffee" and you could take it with crackers or something sweet if you like, it's like taking a little snack break but with coffee as the main event, I would say it's like tea time for British people (except we don't have establishments around this specific time of the day because coffee shops are great for it and open any time between 7am and 8pm)

@@tam_marin I bought an ember mug a while back as I will get to playing a game or watching tv and forget about my coffee, and when I remember, its cold.

A hotel I stayed at once had an animated progress bar on its pancake machine, it was so cute, we just kept standing in front of it watching in fascination while waiting for our food 😂
There was a lot of "little taste tests" in this one lol. I have seen British Tea powered computers, Soviet Vodka cooled computers, but this is the first coffee brewing computers. Good job.
"i like coffee, but its a lot of effort to go to the kitchen and make it, so ill just make a whole computer with a built in coffee maker because thats clearly more convenient" calling ppl out on a loudspeaker
I would definitely recommend trying to eliminate that gap between the grounds tube and the filter, if it's open to the rest of the computer the static buildup can get those grounds EVERYWHERE. I used to work at a coffee shop and the grinder had to be vacuumed out daily because it builds up _so_ quickly
good point about the static, but regarding the buildup in the grinder/tube - she's making one mug daily. Should be slightly less volume than a coffee shop would see, unless you worked at the world's worst coffee shop
Just a small tip for the Arduino software. In a system like this I would've implemented the WDT (Watch Dog Timer) for the safety of your build. If you don't know what the WDT is, it is a timer within the MCU that need too be reset every X seconds, milliseconds or the MCU will reset no matter what it does. So if the software hangs the coffe maker could run for hours without you know it... which could start a fire in such confined space. So if the WDT isn't reset the system will reboot and the relays will turn of. Sheers from Sweden!
its pressed Wood crap wich is sold to people with zero acoustic knowledge, its overpriced and market as ,,acoustic element,,… wich isnt the case. It looks awful and uncreative, because nearly everyone has them now
Awesome build! Some people have mentioned the fact that moisture could go to the computer parts, but, since your airflow is from top/back to the front, all the moisture will go to the front of the case which doesn't have any electronics (only the fans). The only thing I would do differently is add a weight sensor to the cup holder to stop the water dosing. I think it would be a more consistent way to have the same amount of coffee due to the fact that the water heating time can vary depending on the ambient temperature.
Indeed. Also the "reverse" airflow (back to front) probably helps in that the air that passes through the water pipe is warmer than ambient, thus not cooling down the coffee :)
since the coffee maker has to be turned off well before the mug is actually full, what about messuring the water weight/level of the water tank instead? although I can't imagine the ambient temperature inside such a nice office would flucturate that drastically...
My only three concerns are: 1. The coffee being ground creates coffee dust as well as coffee grounds. All of which are flowing down the tube and into the filter, but it seems as if the gap between the tube and the filter cup (as well as the open filter cup) would give way to coffee dust and coffee grounds being blown into the case by the fans. The rear intake to front exhaust seems like a good idea here, but all of the coffee dust and grounds that ARE blown by the air circulation in the case would eventually get everywhere. 2. The amount of dust that collects inside a computer case in just one day is enough to make me want to seal the coffee side away from the computer side. Not to mention the humidity that boiling water puts into the case. Those two exhaust fans in the front will not be enough air flow to stop the humidity from building up, which is another reason to seal the two sections off from one another. 3. What do you do if the arduino fails or hangs and the timer never stops. Imagine you are 3 hours deep into a good RPG, stop to press the button for coffee, and then get sidetracked in the game. You spend the next 30 mintues playing before you remember you made coffee, but the timer never stopped. Now your heating element has burnt up, plastic is melting, and the potential for a fire has increased dramatically. I suggest Watch Dog Timer. I mean, overall it is another beautiful build, and I will never fault you on the asthetics or the functionality. However, my concerns here are for your health, safety, and equipment longevity.
Can't wait for version 2.0 with all the prior issues fixed. I've read comments suggesting isolating the coffee maker from the computer, adding a static strip, etc. I personally suggest maybe a little sliding door at least to make cleanup easier. Also a little counter to keep track for you how many cups it has been since the last cleaning. If you wanna really go overboard, how about a convenient storage space for your bags of coffee beans, a big water bottle, a spare mug for emergencies, and maybe even an optional dehumidifier.
I would suggest to add an little Glass or Acrylic Glass Door in the Front, who are closed as long the Coffee Maker is not in use. The big Opening could disturb the Airflow from the PC Components, also the Door can keep out unwanted Things from Animals, like Flys or Birds who thing this is a Nest Box, flying Packages and british Coffee eating Gremlins, who just like Yorkshire Tea.^^
You could connect the Arduino to USB and set up a keyboard shortcut to run a script which sends a command over serial that starts the process, and maybe even have it listen for a reply saying it's done or if there was an error and pop up a notification haha
I am not a coffee drinker, but it was an EXCELLENT build! The only thing that could top it off would be for a nod to the old "coffee holder" joke about the early CD drives... Reinforce the tray and add a small USB mug heater and put it into the base under the coffee access opening, you could even keep the CD/DVD player faceplate... Then you would have a self warming "coffee holder" built in... the journey would be complete!!
@@tired-snail Didn't have a built in coffee maker either. It's a nod to what was called user error when the cup holder doesn't retract back into the computer. I would have made an option.
i fully believe that you'll have a lot more use of this than i do with my boring standard old coffee maker, i would still suggest that you do a "dry run" at the end of every day just to clean out the grounds tube incase there's a buildup if you dont i'd be concerned about mold there've been a few times i've forgotten to take out the used filter from my machine and found mold growing within just 2 days that said i love this build and it's giving me a whole bunch of ideas to try myself!
Great! One idea use mechanism from old CDs that open to insert then close. That way no need to reach inside. Press button tray opens put cup on tray (sensors), closes and rest of process starts. When done tray opens again, remove mug and tray goes back in.
Back in 2000, I was in the other room of my apartment when I heard a noise, and discovered that my computer had started up on its own. A relative told me "now if you could just get it to make the coffee."
Nerdforge you are a freaking genius. One of these years in the future they will end up with a gaming coffee rig. You should patent this build so no company tries to steal this idea and go with it.
Some advice: Isolate the coffee machine part of this build entirely. Because the dust a computer case collects is way way grosser than you think it is. Way... WAY grosser. Sweet build though!
She put in a buttload of fans, though, so that should help cut back on the humidity and well, if you keep your computer well dusted and cleaned on a regular basis, you shouldn't have an issue with dust collecting in the first place
I have some doubts. Mixing steam with dust, even if those fans are SUPPOSED to push the steam out on front seems like a really bad idea. Without seeing the actual airflow with some smoke test or something, it'll stay a theory. And of course ALL the dust collected and sucked into the case will end up right in the freshly brewed coffee.
Dusted & Cleaned on a regular basis with high moisture in circulation = more dust. It will get gross. PC's are way dirtier than people think they are. Even well kept.
@@anupew3276 Yeah, but the humid air get's blown out the front fans. Basically she pulls inn cold air in the back and pushes it out the front where the coffee machine is
Uh yeah we kinda also have small coffee machines that both grinds the beans and brews the coffee. Spoilers, they don't need filters either. Downside is that you have to clean out the bean component but it's detachable so that's fine.
Fantastic engineering! Very inspiring to a current engineering student! You identified the problem, brainstormed possible solutions, picked a solution to work upon, drew some diagrams and got to work. And it looks stylish on top of everything! You deserve an applause!
Concerns, adding a bend makes somewhere for the moisture to collect. The moisture can escape into the rest of the computer. The bean tube to needs to be maintenance and serviceable because it will need frequent cleaning unless you want to actually have bugs in your coffee.
That was soooo cool!! There’s a Greek saying when referring to smart things, that they can do everything except making coffee! Now your PC can do even that!! 😊
I love "it's not plugged in". That is SO something I've done! I once bought a car with a blown engine. I bought the replacement engine from a friend of mine. $400 total investment. Changed the motor, did everything perfectly but it wouldn't start. Messed with it for 2 days (no luck) before selling it to a friend of mine for exactly my investment. I saw him 2 days later, driving it. I asked what he had to do and he said, "You're gonna be mad" It turns out that the hot wire had broken away from the starter motor clip and that's why it wouldn't start. It was the only thing I didn't check. I had done everything else perfectly, which was amazing because it was my first time ever doing anything like that. He ran that car for 3 years before selling it for $2300. Basically, I didn't have it plugged in. Lolol
why wouldn't he have just told you to check that or gave it back to you if it was that simple your friend knew how much the car was worth now that it was working idk doesn't seem right
@@littlekatgc well, because it took him a full day to figure it out too, and he's an experienced car guy. And besides, that's just not how it's done. A deal's a deal. My bad for not checking something so simple and I wasn't gonna go back on it. I didn't lose anything from it and I learned a valuable lesson. The only person I was kicking in the butt was myself.
I love the wood panel design. Looks sooo good. A very simplistic version, that I could see on "normal" people's desks is building a case for a coffee machine that looks exacly like the pc case so they can stand next to each other without being the same machine :D
I love every project you've ever done but there's something about this one that just makes it special. I think it's how crisp and clean all the lines are and the wood panelling, and the lighting. It's kind of 'grown-up' rather than 'fantasy' and I just really, really love it. Beautiful work. ❤
As a fellow coffee connoisseur (it is NOT an addiction!!), I need this in my life because...stairs....and the time it takes to go from desk, down the stairs to the kitchen and back up again to desk is far too time consuming. 100% love this. NEED!
I was questioning the in-the-back-out-the-front airflow, but then realized that it make sense not to blow coffee steam into your computer, and it will also waft a gentle coffee smell out into the room as it brews. Nice build.
19:31 The way a few more beans fall as Martina is shaking with laughter absolutely killed me 😂😂 Amazing build as always! I definitely second others saying a partition between coffee and computer parts - protect the electronics from the coffee dust and the coffee from the computer dust.
@@janinejanine758 You mean the machine at 1:49 ? It's the Wilfa Performance, a Norwegian build coffeemaker. (It's 2799kr new at this time of writing, about 250dollar and only has an on/off button. No extra other settings like temperature or flow rate. It is quite stylish though.)
As someone who builds custom computers myself I always LOVE seeing you take on a project like this!!! It's the perfect combination of pc customisation and Nerdforge :D
It might be a good idea to give the hopper a casing. That would reduce the amount of light that would reach the beans. Oxygen, hydrogen and light are the main factors that lead to coffee going stale.
Awesome project! As an eng student who does projects too, I noticed two things that are maybe helpful? You put in the montage that that massive 3D printed piece didn't fit, to limit filament wastage I usually always do a size and fit check of an STL that I cut to be like 3 printing layers tall, you test the size with a pancake version of what you want, and then you print the real thing. Much much less risk of losing a lot of filament. Also, you vero boarded the electronics. While totally valid and does work it's hilariously cheap to order PCBs that can accomodate stuff you want. If you're going to do more electrically powered stuff in the future, you could even (again, very cheaply) get like "standard" PCBs designed that you can plug a Nano into but have like your own little power management system attached almost like a hat for a pi or an arduino shield you'll sometimes see. KiCad is open source PCB design and it's a learning curve of course but one I found relatively painless I highly recommend it if you or anyone reading go down this path. Love the content!
Martina literally said "Hold my coffee" on this one. 10/10 on the aesthetics. The wood and the amber lighting is absolutley perfect. I'm not a coffee drinker, so that benefit is lost on me. But still a fun project and video! Thanks for sharing!
Without a side panel the airflow wont matter that much at all, and with that giant hole in the front this is the best option to go for. Added bonus that the steam of the hot water will be pushed out the front, and not dwindle trough the computer itself :)
9:35 A little lid "click, flick, clatter, clatter ... beep ... A little lid that sits nice and securely.) 😂😂😂 I love how you show your videos, warts and all, until you finally reach success. So many channels heavily edit their videos to make it look like success on the first try, when you know it's not the case. The trial and error aspect is what makes your videos extra special. And you're creative and stubborn enough to make it work every time.
this is actually incredible. my only concern would the the water vapor. wouldnt it create condensation throughout the case, therefore damaging the electronic components?
If i were to make this, i would add a separate exhaust at the front of the case to make sure the vapour wouldn't enter the PC components. or have a better way to seal the 2 sides. but with the side panel open like Martina has it, the vapour wouldn't make a big problem inside the case.
I see two issues with this: As you pointed out, the tube for the coffee ground will collect water vapor, end up sticky and collect old coffee grounds. Not that nice for the taste and might end up actually clogging. The way bigger issue, IMO: The coffee machine needs to be completely separated from the computer. First off, the dust a PC collects isn't all that great, I wouldn't want that near my coffee, but, more importantly, I would assume the PC will also get some condensed water from the steaming coffee maker right next to it. That's not good... especially in combination with the aforementioned dust. Also, another potential issue: Coffee dust and static electricity, as found in a PC, will probably cause coffee dust to build up everywhere... so... three issues, I guess. Anyway: Looks awesome and was definitely fun to watch coming together so nicely.
@@LYNX2418 The problem is they're fixable by essentially separating the PC and coffee maker components entirely... which seems like defeating the whole point of this thing!
Forth issue: Thermals. The case is closed off, cladded in wood, with the coffee machine blocking the intake. AND having a hotplate, boiling water and potentially vapor + coffee dust will all hugely hinder the PCs thermal performance, or possibly kill it.
Nice idea and execution. For future projects like this, cut the end point of the tube at an angle. This will prevent condensation from going backwards, the cut will increase tension making the water drop back out, instead of sitting at the end of the tube. You can also add a cold element to be sure all vapors are condensate.
Upgrade suggestions: - A no-mesh placeholder for clean cups slightly elevated above the top vents that can receive and accumulate exhaust heat to keep the cups gently warm - A little door where the cup enters (aesthetics, keep dust away, and protect from bounce back drops when coffee's pouring) - Options for expresso, duplo and americano - (and jokingly) a modded GPU where its radiator extends out and up with a small pan for roasting the beans. You can control how much you roast them by what tasks you get your GPU to do and how much you manually lower air flow in that moment. Of course getting from the pan to the grinder may pose a challenge, but I'm sure you'll figure out a way... :P Aside from that, you get a 10 coffee beans / 10 coffee beans :- ) EDIT: consider side vents option that turn on when roasting to protect the components and also immerse you in that lovely coffee roasting smell. EDIT2: I've never roasted coffee beans, so I have no idea what I'm talking about :D
The "Kantenschutzprofil" at the front opening of the case filled my cold german craftsman-heart for a split second with warmth and joy😊 I also like overcomplicated contraptions that produce the bitter-sweet nectar of the gods, that keeps me and every other working soul alive and going. Good Work👍
The music in this video absolutely rocks! Also super good montage and project! I think I prefer to have the coffee maker separate from my pc, but the sheer idea of having it do exactly your mug of coffee it’s pure genius. And decorating it makes it even better, as always ❤
I hope you never lose your joy in doing creative stuff. No matter if drawing, paintimg, building,... Always fun to watch and it will never get boring. I hope you have the chance to do what you love and being well paid for it.
Great project ! Some upgrades I suggest: 1. Make a lid on the tube ending and control it through the ARDUINO to avoid steam on the grinder tube. I think it`s going to clog with time and its not easy to clean on this construction, so its better if its physically closed when the hot water comes. 2. Also add a physically lid on the coffee machine ending, to avoid unwanted spills on the mug holder. 3. Add a leveling sensor on the coffee machine water tank. You can both control the coffee flow and have a second security level to avoid overflow or refill it automatically. Again, i loved it ! one of the best and most usefull PCs ever
What about just detecting the mug and making the coffee then? I suppose it could mulch the used coffee and filter also, maybe by sending it out to the garden where it can feed a turret defending the garden from animal/beetle thieves/pests? Hah, if she added a tap attachment and water filtration and treatment it would just about fill the extra space in the case!
Martina, you are a caffeine based lifeform like me. I love this build. i've thought about something like this for years, but never with such a coffee maker. it just fits so nicely once you have everything in place. I'm also looking to make a larger water reservoir for my espresso machine as it can only make 4 americanos before i have to refill it.
That looks stunning! and hopefully there won't be any problem with those wooden details bending from moisture or glue giving up from temperatures inside, but i am very sure you already perfected the plan and executed everything properly! really amazing project
I wanted to buy a Fractal North for so long because I love how it looks, but it doesn't have enough HDD space in it. This gave me the idea to buy a case that fits my needs and then manually customize the front with wood strips the way I like it.
In the early days of Maximum PC magazine (that's like a website that's printed on paper and mailed out once a month, kids), they would run pics of crazy computer mods sent in by readers. One was a beige tower case with a regular drip coffee maker built into the front (hotplate and all). This was 1999 or 2000. Another was built into a La-Z-Boy recliner. My favorite had to be a hotrod-themed case with a pair of forced air intake scoops on the top to cool the pair of Voodoo 2 cards in it.
It's too bad that coffee goes stale. I would have loved to see a water loop filled with coffee and that could be reheated and dispensed while another mechanism refilled the loop with stored coffee.
if you have issues with steam in the ground coffee shoot, try putting a "Y" in the tubing near the top, have air blowing down the other tube, it will aid all the grounds get to the brewer and it will prevent steam from going up the tube...the build is awesome, the wood is incredible.
Nice idea, just need to carefully control the air flow. Don't want a stream of air hitting the top of the coffee bed in the filter blowing it out before the hot water comes out.

I would definitely recommend trying to eliminate that gap between the grounds tube and the filter, if it's open to the rest of the computer the static buildup can get those grounds EVERYWHERE.
I used to work at a coffee shop and the grinder had to be vacuumed out daily because it builds up _so_ quickly
I've seen static grounds literally defy gravity and move up from the grinder chute and stick to things above them, it's wild
Might need to add a static strap and ground it to the frame...
good point about the static, but regarding the buildup in the grinder/tube - she's making one mug daily. Should be slightly less volume than a coffee shop would see, unless you worked at the world's worst coffee shop
Good to know, thanks
Just a small tip for the Arduino software.
In a system like this I would've implemented the WDT (Watch Dog Timer) for the safety of your build.
If you don't know what the WDT is, it is a timer within the MCU that need too be reset every X seconds, milliseconds or the MCU will reset no matter what it does. So if the software hangs the coffe maker could run for hours without you know it... which could start a fire in such confined space.
So if the WDT isn't reset the system will reboot and the relays will turn of.
Sheers from Sweden!
But MCU was already reset when Iron Man snapped with the infinity gauntlet!

I can't believe the paneling matches your room SO perfectly 😭 such gorgeous wood!!!
its pressed Wood crap wich is sold to people with zero acoustic knowledge, its overpriced and market as ,,acoustic element,,… wich isnt the case. It looks awful and uncreative, because nearly everyone has them now
yo the music in this video was fire. i usually dont enjoy it when people use music for timelapses or during their work process but this was GOOOOD!
Awesome build! Some people have mentioned the fact that moisture could go to the computer parts, but, since your airflow is from top/back to the front, all the moisture will go to the front of the case which doesn't have any electronics (only the fans). The only thing I would do differently is add a weight sensor to the cup holder to stop the water dosing. I think it would be a more consistent way to have the same amount of coffee due to the fact that the water heating time can vary depending on the ambient temperature.
Indeed. Also the "reverse" airflow (back to front) probably helps in that the air that passes through the water pipe is warmer than ambient, thus not cooling down the coffee :)
the coffee grounds get stuck in filler so you need to clean it every time you make a cup
since the coffee maker has to be turned off well before the mug is actually full, what about messuring the water weight/level of the water tank instead? although I can't imagine the ambient temperature inside such a nice office would flucturate that drastically...
"this is either madness or brilliance"
"it's amazing how often those two traits coincide"
Brilliance is just madness that happens to work out 🙂

Typical, only a woman could create something so useless.
My hat's off to your videographer and editor. Exquisitely cut with such wonderful shots and angles. Thank you to whoever may be behind the curtain!
My only three concerns are: 1. The coffee being ground creates coffee dust as well as coffee grounds. All of which are flowing down the tube and into the filter, but it seems as if the gap between the tube and the filter cup (as well as the open filter cup) would give way to coffee dust and coffee grounds being blown into the case by the fans. The rear intake to front exhaust seems like a good idea here, but all of the coffee dust and grounds that ARE blown by the air circulation in the case would eventually get everywhere. 2. The amount of dust that collects inside a computer case in just one day is enough to make me want to seal the coffee side away from the computer side. Not to mention the humidity that boiling water puts into the case. Those two exhaust fans in the front will not be enough air flow to stop the humidity from building up, which is another reason to seal the two sections off from one another. 3. What do you do if the arduino fails or hangs and the timer never stops. Imagine you are 3 hours deep into a good RPG, stop to press the button for coffee, and then get sidetracked in the game. You spend the next 30 mintues playing before you remember you made coffee, but the timer never stopped. Now your heating element has burnt up, plastic is melting, and the potential for a fire has increased dramatically. I suggest Watch Dog Timer.
I mean, overall it is another beautiful build, and I will never fault you on the asthetics or the functionality. However, my concerns here are for your health, safety, and equipment longevity.
I have to agree with all of those concerns.
yup, coffee grinds will be more apparent than dust, it will get everywhere. Luckily it's just a gimmick for Youtoob
Also, another concern... what if any part of that coffee machine breaks down? Or the grinder? There's no way to service it.
@@vengeance1701 Not something youtubers are concerned about, as that's just another video ;)
Take a coffee mate!
The LED strips really add that little bit of cozy coffee shop vibe. I had a big goofy grin on my face the entire video, so amazing!!
Can't wait for version 2.0 with all the prior issues fixed. I've read comments suggesting isolating the coffee maker from the computer, adding a static strip, etc. I personally suggest maybe a little sliding door at least to make cleanup easier. Also a little counter to keep track for you how many cups it has been since the last cleaning.
If you wanna really go overboard, how about a convenient storage space for your bags of coffee beans, a big water bottle, a spare mug for emergencies, and maybe even an optional dehumidifier.
You did WHAT. I'm going to need one. Immediately.
She should sell them
@@Perpetual-lunacydefinitely, or at least the plans.
While not being a coffee goblin myself, the aesthetic alone of this project is AMAZING! I need my pc to be this cozy!
Martina is so genius and creative that you can expect literally any thing from her .... these type of people deserve all the fame and love tbh❤
I would suggest to add an little Glass or Acrylic Glass Door in the Front, who are closed as long the Coffee Maker is not in use.
The big Opening could disturb the Airflow from the PC Components, also the Door can keep out unwanted Things from Animals, like Flys or Birds who thing this is a Nest Box, flying Packages and british Coffee eating Gremlins, who just like Yorkshire Tea.^^
You could connect the Arduino to USB and set up a keyboard shortcut to run a script which sends a command over serial that starts the process, and maybe even have it listen for a reply saying it's done or if there was an error and pop up a notification haha
I'd like a recap of all these kind of projects they've done to see if they're still functionnal.
This
I am not a coffee drinker, but it was an EXCELLENT build! The only thing that could top it off would be for a nod to the old "coffee holder" joke about the early CD drives... Reinforce the tray and add a small USB mug heater and put it into the base under the coffee access opening, you could even keep the CD/DVD player faceplate... Then you would have a self warming "coffee holder" built in... the journey would be complete!!
that would have been super cool but unfortunately isn't an option in this particular pc case as it doesn't have a disk drive spot :(
@@tired-snail Didn't have a built in coffee maker either. It's a nod to what was called user error when the cup holder doesn't retract back into the computer. I would have made an option.
i fully believe that you'll have a lot more use of this than i do with my boring standard old coffee maker, i would still suggest that you do a "dry run" at the end of every day just to clean out the grounds tube incase there's a buildup
if you dont i'd be concerned about mold
there've been a few times i've forgotten to take out the used filter from my machine and found mold growing within just 2 days
that said i love this build and it's giving me a whole bunch of ideas to try myself!
this is honestly one of my favorite projects you have ever done
Great! One idea use mechanism from old CDs that open to insert then close. That way no need to reach inside. Press button tray opens put cup on tray (sensors), closes and rest of process starts. When done tray opens again, remove mug and tray goes back in.
Genius! But wouldn't a mug be too heavy for the original mechanism?
Back in 2000, I was in the other room of my apartment when I heard a noise, and discovered that my computer had started up on its own. A relative told me "now if you could just get it to make the coffee."
Oh, no problem. Just put one of the coffee pod machines inside the...
WAIT WHAT.
omg it's you-
Nerdforge you are a freaking genius. One of these years in the future they will end up with a gaming coffee rig. You should patent this build so no company tries to steal this idea and go with it.
Some advice: Isolate the coffee machine part of this build entirely. Because the dust a computer case collects is way way grosser than you think it is. Way... WAY grosser.
Sweet build though!
Also hot humid air isnt exactly good for electronics.
She put in a buttload of fans, though, so that should help cut back on the humidity and well, if you keep your computer well dusted and cleaned on a regular basis, you shouldn't have an issue with dust collecting in the first place
I have some doubts. Mixing steam with dust, even if those fans are SUPPOSED to push the steam out on front seems like a really bad idea. Without seeing the actual airflow with some smoke test or something, it'll stay a theory. And of course ALL the dust collected and sucked into the case will end up right in the freshly brewed coffee.
Dusted & Cleaned on a regular basis with high moisture in circulation = more dust.
It will get gross. PC's are way dirtier than people think they are. Even well kept.
@@anupew3276 Yeah, but the humid air get's blown out the front fans. Basically she pulls inn cold air in the back and pushes it out the front where the coffee machine is

Uh yeah we kinda also have small coffee machines that both grinds the beans and brews the coffee. Spoilers, they don't need filters either. Downside is that you have to clean out the bean component but it's detachable so that's fine.
No wonder with such long days&nights 😂
I'm Scandinavian.......
Fantastic engineering! Very inspiring to a current engineering student! You identified the problem, brainstormed possible solutions, picked a solution to work upon, drew some diagrams and got to work. And it looks stylish on top of everything! You deserve an applause!
Awesome project. love the music during the timelapse.
“Bro why is you pc so loud…”
“Shhh let me make my coffee in peace”
Concerns, adding a bend makes somewhere for the moisture to collect. The moisture can escape into the rest of the computer. The bean tube to needs to be maintenance and serviceable because it will need frequent cleaning unless you want to actually have bugs in your coffee.
It looks like it's easy enough to take off the bend to get a tube cleaning brush in there.
moisture can escape into the rest of the computer - yes, but there will be fans that will immediately blow out :D so i dont think to worry about
@@shadowmasterlord you've never worked in IT or in a Coffee Shop have you? Honestly I'm getting flashback nightmares to heavy smoker's cases.
13:59 right here, I thought how it's going to get cleaned 😅
Weighted flapper valve on the grinds tube. Auto opens with grounds and closes via the offset weight. Think big rig exhaust flapper at the top.
I was thinking on a flap but didn’t known how it would work, now I know.😊
I would tie the flapper into the arduino with a servo or solenoid to go with the theme of the build :)
That was soooo cool!! There’s a Greek saying when referring to smart things, that they can do everything except making coffee! Now your PC can do even that!! 😊
I love "it's not plugged in". That is SO something I've done! I once bought a car with a blown engine. I bought the replacement engine from a friend of mine. $400 total investment. Changed the motor, did everything perfectly but it wouldn't start. Messed with it for 2 days (no luck) before selling it to a friend of mine for exactly my investment. I saw him 2 days later, driving it. I asked what he had to do and he said, "You're gonna be mad" It turns out that the hot wire had broken away from the starter motor clip and that's why it wouldn't start. It was the only thing I didn't check. I had done everything else perfectly, which was amazing because it was my first time ever doing anything like that. He ran that car for 3 years before selling it for $2300. Basically, I didn't have it plugged in. Lolol
why wouldn't he have just told you to check that or gave it back to you if it was that simple your friend knew how much the car was worth now that it was working idk doesn't seem right
@@littlekatgc well, because it took him a full day to figure it out too, and he's an experienced car guy. And besides, that's just not how it's done. A deal's a deal. My bad for not checking something so simple and I wasn't gonna go back on it. I didn't lose anything from it and I learned a valuable lesson. The only person I was kicking in the butt was myself.

I went to go get more coffee and came back to a Nerdforge video about a coffee computer 😂 serendipity
22:12 "A computer that can also make coffee" AND serve as a privacy wall between your workstations!
The yellow light glow off the wood sticks gives it that warm feeling. Nice!
I love the wood panel design. Looks sooo good. A very simplistic version, that I could see on "normal" people's desks is building a case for a coffee machine that looks exacly like the pc case so they can stand next to each other without being the same machine :D
I love every project you've ever done but there's something about this one that just makes it special. I think it's how crisp and clean all the lines are and the wood panelling, and the lighting. It's kind of 'grown-up' rather than 'fantasy' and I just really, really love it. Beautiful work. ❤
As a fellow coffee connoisseur (it is NOT an addiction!!), I need this in my life because...stairs....and the time it takes to go from desk, down the stairs to the kitchen and back up again to desk is far too time consuming. 100% love this. NEED!
I was questioning the in-the-back-out-the-front airflow, but then realized that it make sense not to blow coffee steam into your computer, and it will also waft a gentle coffee smell out into the room as it brews. Nice build.
This PC of all PCs should have a sign near the keyboard saying "Dangerzone: no liquids allowed". :) Really nice case!
19:31 The way a few more beans fall as Martina is shaking with laughter absolutely killed me 😂😂
Amazing build as always! I definitely second others saying a partition between coffee and computer parts - protect the electronics from the coffee dust and the coffee from the computer dust.
Besides the PC part, you just made a low cost diy super-automatica coffee machine, which is incredible!

As someone who builds custom computers myself I always LOVE seeing you take on a project like this!!! It's the perfect combination of pc customisation and Nerdforge :D
Italians will be happy, every time they see an expensive product they ask if it also makes coffee

Nope, that's not espresso, is basically dirty water.

It might be a good idea to give the hopper a casing. That would reduce the amount of light that would reach the beans.
Oxygen, hydrogen and light are the main factors that lead to coffee going stale.
I ment humidity, not hydrogen. I guess that's obvious, but I wanted to correct my statement nevertheless.
@@hendrikm9569 I was so ready to come in here and call you a dummy lol
@@ElHua Very understandable, I wrote the message before going to bed, and noticed the mistake the morning after.
I had the words mixed up.
Awesome project! As an eng student who does projects too, I noticed two things that are maybe helpful?
You put in the montage that that massive 3D printed piece didn't fit, to limit filament wastage I usually always do a size and fit check of an STL that I cut to be like 3 printing layers tall, you test the size with a pancake version of what you want, and then you print the real thing. Much much less risk of losing a lot of filament.
Also, you vero boarded the electronics. While totally valid and does work it's hilariously cheap to order PCBs that can accomodate stuff you want. If you're going to do more electrically powered stuff in the future, you could even (again, very cheaply) get like "standard" PCBs designed that you can plug a Nano into but have like your own little power management system attached almost like a hat for a pi or an arduino shield you'll sometimes see. KiCad is open source PCB design and it's a learning curve of course but one I found relatively painless I highly recommend it if you or anyone reading go down this path.
Love the content!
Martina literally said "Hold my coffee" on this one. 10/10 on the aesthetics. The wood and the amber lighting is absolutley perfect. I'm not a coffee drinker, so that benefit is lost on me. But still a fun project and video! Thanks for sharing!
I would love to watch a miniature video where you combine all of those failed 3D-prints into an epic landscape.
that ad transition *chef's kiss*
As a PC, its beautiful on its own. The fact it makes coffee with near-level digital intelligence is mind-blowing.
Without a side panel the airflow wont matter that much at all, and with that giant hole in the front this is the best option to go for.
Added bonus that the steam of the hot water will be pushed out the front, and not dwindle trough the computer itself :)
9:35 A little lid "click, flick, clatter, clatter ... beep ... A little lid that sits nice and securely.) 😂😂😂 I love how you show your videos, warts and all, until you finally reach success. So many channels heavily edit their videos to make it look like success on the first try, when you know it's not the case. The trial and error aspect is what makes your videos extra special. And you're creative and stubborn enough to make it work every time.
now its not personal computer (PC) its now perfect coffee (PC)
A PPCC? Perfect personal coffee computer?
this is actually incredible. my only concern would the the water vapor. wouldnt it create condensation throughout the case, therefore damaging the electronic components?
if it is use constantly yeah, but one cup once in a while I think is fine
If i were to make this, i would add a separate exhaust at the front of the case to make sure the vapour wouldn't enter the PC components. or have a better way to seal the 2 sides. but with the side panel open like Martina has it, the vapour wouldn't make a big problem inside the case.
She reversed the airflow, so the exhaust fans are in the front and intake in the back so i doubt that would be a problem.
did you guys watch the part where she explains the fan setup?
@@Romeren at 17:00
I see two issues with this:
As you pointed out, the tube for the coffee ground will collect water vapor, end up sticky and collect old coffee grounds. Not that nice for the taste and might end up actually clogging.
The way bigger issue, IMO: The coffee machine needs to be completely separated from the computer. First off, the dust a PC collects isn't all that great, I wouldn't want that near my coffee, but, more importantly, I would assume the PC will also get some condensed water from the steaming coffee maker right next to it. That's not good... especially in combination with the aforementioned dust.
Also, another potential issue: Coffee dust and static electricity, as found in a PC, will probably cause coffee dust to build up everywhere... so... three issues, I guess.
Anyway: Looks awesome and was definitely fun to watch coming together so nicely.
I'd say they're all fixable problems though.👍
@@LYNX2418 The problem is they're fixable by essentially separating the PC and coffee maker components entirely... which seems like defeating the whole point of this thing!
never owned a separate coffee machine, but don;t these tubes need cleaning for sanitation purposes?..
@@UtamagUta they do yep
Forth issue: Thermals.
The case is closed off, cladded in wood, with the coffee machine blocking the intake. AND having a hotplate, boiling water and potentially vapor + coffee dust will all hugely hinder the PCs thermal performance, or possibly kill it.
Nice idea and execution.
For future projects like this, cut the end point of the tube at an angle. This will prevent condensation from going backwards, the cut will increase tension making the water drop back out, instead of sitting at the end of the tube. You can also add a cold element to be sure all vapors are condensate.
Upgrade suggestions:
- A no-mesh placeholder for clean cups slightly elevated above the top vents that can receive and accumulate exhaust heat to keep the cups gently warm
- A little door where the cup enters (aesthetics, keep dust away, and protect from bounce back drops when coffee's pouring)
- Options for expresso, duplo and americano
- (and jokingly) a modded GPU where its radiator extends out and up with a small pan for roasting the beans. You can control how much you roast them by what tasks you get your GPU to do and how much you manually lower air flow in that moment. Of course getting from the pan to the grinder may pose a challenge, but I'm sure you'll figure out a way... :P
Aside from that, you get a 10 coffee beans / 10 coffee beans :- )
EDIT: consider side vents option that turn on when roasting to protect the components and also immerse you in that lovely coffee roasting smell.
EDIT2: I've never roasted coffee beans, so I have no idea what I'm talking about :D
The "Kantenschutzprofil" at the front opening of the case filled my cold german craftsman-heart for a split second with warmth and joy😊 I also like overcomplicated contraptions that produce the bitter-sweet nectar of the gods, that keeps me and every other working soul alive and going. Good Work👍
Am German too, can confirm 😊

As an American fan, I was happy to see this comment! 😂 I wonder if the Nerdforge peeps caught the reference.... haha
The music in this video absolutely rocks! Also super good montage and project! I think I prefer to have the coffee maker separate from my pc, but the sheer idea of having it do exactly your mug of coffee it’s pure genius. And decorating it makes it even better, as always ❤
I hope you never lose your joy in doing creative stuff. No matter if drawing, paintimg, building,... Always fun to watch and it will never get boring. I hope you have the chance to do what you love and being well paid for it.
Great project !
Some upgrades I suggest:
1. Make a lid on the tube ending and control it through the ARDUINO to avoid steam on the grinder tube. I think it`s going to clog with time and its not easy to clean on this construction, so its better if its physically closed when the hot water comes.
2. Also add a physically lid on the coffee machine ending, to avoid unwanted spills on the mug holder.
3. Add a leveling sensor on the coffee machine water tank. You can both control the coffee flow and have a second security level to avoid overflow or refill it automatically.
Again, i loved it ! one of the best and most usefull PCs ever
What about just detecting the mug and making the coffee then? I suppose it could mulch the used coffee and filter also, maybe by sending it out to the garden where it can feed a turret defending the garden from animal/beetle thieves/pests? Hah, if she added a tap attachment and water filtration and treatment it would just about fill the extra space in the case!
That transition from blender to fusion at 6:51 😁
Would be cool if that ultra-sonic sensor just started the whole process when you added the cup. No power button required.
Maybe, but for safety porpouses, nice to add a second step when we're talking about hot liquids in a computer
What if a fly or something triggered it 💀💀
@@shulkz4565 - Brundle-coffee?
Martina, you are a caffeine based lifeform like me. I love this build. i've thought about something like this for years, but never with such a coffee maker. it just fits so nicely once you have everything in place. I'm also looking to make a larger water reservoir for my espresso machine as it can only make 4 americanos before i have to refill it.
Is it a cosy mountain cabin for tiny forest elves? Is it a coffee shop? Is it a state-of-the-art workstation? Yes.
That looks stunning! and hopefully there won't be any problem with those wooden details bending from moisture or glue giving up from temperatures inside, but i am very sure you already perfected the plan and executed everything properly! really amazing project
I wanted to buy a Fractal North for so long because I love how it looks, but it doesn't have enough HDD space in it.
This gave me the idea to buy a case that fits my needs and then manually customize the front with wood strips the way I like it.
It looks like the cutest little bistro cafe fhat you'd see in a fantasy world where everything is giant/everyone is tiny.
I really liked it and then I you placed it next to your desk with THE EXACT SAME WOOD PANELING it looks beautiful I love it
In the early days of Maximum PC magazine (that's like a website that's printed on paper and mailed out once a month, kids), they would run pics of crazy computer mods sent in by readers. One was a beige tower case with a regular drip coffee maker built into the front (hotplate and all). This was 1999 or 2000. Another was built into a La-Z-Boy recliner.
My favorite had to be a hotrod-themed case with a pair of forced air intake scoops on the top to cool the pair of Voodoo 2 cards in it.
Yeeesssss!!!!!
Martina and Hansi always out here making the most devious stuff and I love it!
There is a coffee machine that can both grind and make the coffee in one rather than having two separate machines smashed into one
It's too bad that coffee goes stale. I would have loved to see a water loop filled with coffee and that could be reheated and dispensed while another mechanism refilled the loop with stored coffee.
Love this, that’s actually really cool, just imagine using ur pic, and being like mmmm coffee
if you have issues with steam in the ground coffee shoot, try putting a "Y" in the tubing near the top, have air blowing down the other tube, it will aid all the grounds get to the brewer and it will prevent steam from going up the tube...the build is awesome, the wood is incredible.
Nice idea, just need to carefully control the air flow. Don't want a stream of air hitting the top of the coffee bed in the filter blowing it out before the hot water comes out.
@@Sembazuru exactly, light flow, just enough to keep the steam from flowing up the tube...
