A smart coffee scale that can order coffee on its own

Hello again! I recently shared another device of mine (a focus timer based around an epaper display) and seeing all the positive feedback motivated me to keep building :) What you're looking at is a overcomplicated way of buying coffee a coffee scale that is connected to a coffee shop's (terminal.shop) API. You can order new coffee directly from the scale or even let it do that on its own once your bag starts to run low. It also allows you to weigh out single doses of coffee. Apologies if this sounds a bit too much like an advertisement for them, but that's the reason this is even a thing.…

What it does

An overly complicated way to order coffee from terminal.shop - Rukenshia/terminal.scale

This project is not affiliated with terminal.shop. It's an entry for their API contest. Don't you miss the good old days of Amazon Dash ? What if we could bring it back, but like... better? This AI™✝︎ powered coffee bag scale offers the perfect solution for lazy, single dosing, people who want someone else to tell them when to buy new coffee - or even let the scale do it for them. While it can be used to weigh anything, the scale is connected to the terminal.shop API to keep your life simple. Go and focus on the important things in life, like drinking coffee, and let the scale do the rest. ✝︎: that's a lie. All you need is a load cell, seriously. But anything with AI in its name is better,…from github.com

    Hi HN! I've been deep in the specialty coffee rabbit hole for a few years and built this tool to help me dial in espresso and pourover more systematically. *What it does:* • Extraction Compass – click where your shot lands (sour/bitter × weak/strong), get diagnosis and adjustments. It factors in your bean's origin, processing method, roast level, and variety. • Pourover recipes from Hoffmann, Rao, Hedrick, Kasuya (4:6) with step-by-step timer. Water amounts auto-calculate based on your dose. • Interactive WCR Flavor Wheel based on the World Coffee Research Sensory Lexicon 2.0.…

    It’s available on iOS now: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id6499280064 We got into specialty coffee during COVID and, like many others, fell deep down the rabbit hole. Along the way, we ran into the same frustrations: - A drawer full of empty coffee bags. - No simple way to track grind size, rest dates, notes—by bean. - My coffee history scattered across photos, screenshots, notebooks, and half-memories. - The unique traits, people, and stories behind each coffee disappearing from the internet once it sold out (since coffee is an agricultural good) - In our opinion, no…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
