@SeanAloysiusOBrien Lots of people like Phidgets hardware for stuff like this. The VINT line is pretty cheap and you can get modules for that to read RTDs or thermocouples. Sample rates can be several measurements per second. Linux support is excellent (also works on Mac/Windows) and if you code your own the API is documented well enough.

@sean The latter is probably the more interesting video.

The next episode of Coffee and Code (sleep deprived and tired edition) has been recorded. Still needs editing, but will probably be up later tonight. The cat will be in the background for most of that.

New Kenyan is on the shelf. Brewing the last of the previous lot today. They're quite different from each other.

He should see about doing that Night Court spin off.

The cat thinks I should stop doing housework and pet the cat instead, but she's never once washed the dishes so...

New Kenyan coffee now available for web orders. It's $1 less than the previous Kenyan coffee.

Tasting the production test batch of the next Kenyan coffee. You wouldn't guess from the flavor that it's one of the lightest roasts I'm doing. Rich and tangy, and the tomato flavor I liked while cupping exploratory roasts is prominent in the aftertaste. It's not the provocatively acidic classic Kenya flavor profile, but it is delicious.

Now the cat thinks it's my turn to lick her, but that's not happening.

The cat thinks I need more cat spit on my wrist.

The cat is telling me about her day.

It looks like SCA might go along with the idea of delivering my class remotely now that Expo is cancelled. The way this would work is we eliminate the hands on roasting and instead I roast the coffee in enough ways to make the point of the class and mail that out to everybody, then we can do an online class where I do my lecture, everybody does their own tasting wherever they've sheltered in place, and we have a conversation.

Mailing orders and depositing money done. Got some Chinese takeout to fuel up before doing the rest of the work that needs doing before I can go home.

The next coffee shipment is going out in a vanilla sprinkles box.
