Ask HN: What's a good coffee pot for implementing the 418 protocol?
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2324
My office coffee pot is almost 200 feet away from me and I'd like to be able to check the coffee status without walking over there. What's a good coffee maker to use?
I'm thinking one that has a weight sensor in the hot plate that can report the fullness of the pot, or a timer that tells how long it's been since the last brew, and an ethernet or wifi connection. Nothing too complicated, if possible. I don't actually know anything about http or networking other than a couple of vocabulary words.
Sounds like history repeating itself. Try a webcam.

reduce the problem as much as possible... use a single serve espresso machine. Volume remaining and freshness aren't really a problem in that context.
The best kind of code is the kind that doesn't get written.
