Subject: connecting coffee machine/roaster to laptop
|
Hi all
Ive been reading lots how some have connected various coffee making
devices to laptops, ie roasters machines etc for the purposes of data
logging.
Can anyone suggest what that mysterious connecting device in between
the coffee and laptop is and also recommend one?
TIA

I always thought the connecting device between the coffee and the laptop was
called a Geek.

Presumably you are referring to a probe or datalogger. There are
self-contained dataloggers, such as the Fluke 54 series, that have
interfaces (which with optional software and cables) can download their
saved data into a spreadsheet or graphing program. Omega makes a similar
but less well made one which comes with its own free software, worth
slightly more than its price.
Alternatively there are devices such as an 8 channel TC device (the mfr.
which I have forgotten but the device is referenced on the various threads
dealing with the Scace Thermofilter device on www.home-barista.com) that
connect directly to a PC, which would include a laptop.
Most of the time one is interested in monitoring temperature, which the
above refers to, and this would be temperature as measured while making an
espresso shot, or obtained from a thermocouple while roasting.
Alternatively, one might want to measure pressure. I'm sure it is possible
to do this with a device connected to a PC, but I personally have no
knowledge of such devices.
