Project Description Heading link

The formation of this project revolves around automating an existing appliance using Arduino. The project will automate a French press coffee machine. To create this appliance, three critical components of the process were selected and separated into their own sub-projects: water heating, water and coffee pouring, and pressing the coffee. There are existing examples of DIY coffee machines, but few to none combine all three sub-projects described previously, and none use a French press. To emulate real coffee machines, users will be able to pour out a cup of coffee by using the Arduino project.
