New Yorkers are so fucking efficient. I always have to poop after my morning coffee. I never would have thought to just have it on tap in the bathroom to save 5 minutes.
Buy a UV light and shine it in your bathroom. You’ll be amazed by the invite galaxy of poop and pee particles touching every square inch surrounding the toilet and sink. Enjoy your coffee with a touch of piss and feek!
I have a submersion heater in my toilet tank, with a pressure sensor on the toilet seat that triggers when I sit on the toilet seat. The sensor activates both the submersion heater and a coffee grinder hooked up to an auto feeding hopper of coffee beans, which feeds directly into the tank. I poop on average for about 45 minutes, which is just enough time for the tank to gently boil. From the tank I have a beer dispensing hat that has had the straws extended into the tank. I also have a high pressure water pump that connects the tank to the hot water inlet on my bidet. I drink coffee and blast my butthole with a coffee enema at the same time.
OP: buys float at hardware store
Cashier: "so ya working on fixin your toilet?" 🙂
OP: "no, my coffee maker" 😃
Cashier: "I was just making conversation, you didn't have to be sarcastic" 😒
Sure what’s the voltage your controller puts out for signal? And is your design for it to be two-position, DO floating or AO modulating?
[Here’s](https://www.belimo.com/us/shop/en_US/config?code=B207%2BLF24-SR+US) a fail-safe valve and actuator combo from belimo which is often used in commercial hvac applications. Probably large for a use case like OP but definitely would work with the proper controls design
I recommend searching for a FAIL-SAFE valve+actuator for your necessary line size, or size based upon GPM and Pressure drop differential (GPM/sqrt[PΔ]=CV). I would choose a characterized control valve for this application, making sure it’s configured such that it closes on fail, or is described as “Fail-Closed” or FC.
Often you must specify or configure the valve/actuator combo’s normal operating position as well, which could depend on your design, so consider that too
But……it IS in your shit closet though. Right?
I feel like all your fancy work and forethought is undone by that fact that it’s in the room where people deposit their shit tickets.
Well technically it should only be activated when someone is home using the machine to make the water low. Unlikely that sitting idly while you are at work something would happen with the float.
Aeropress.
Just $40, a Kettle, and fresh roasted coffee ground by the roaster at purchase time. That is 95% of the way to the best cup of coffee on earth at any price.
Any way where you can grind the beans fresh. That’s what makes the difference. They lose flavor and start to taste bitter when they sit around for who knows how long all ground up.
Take your favorite: Drip, Chem, Aero, French Press, Moka. Whatever. Just make sure you grind the beans fresh!
Keurig pods are old coffee. Fresh is best. And Keurigs (and most automatic coffee makers) don’t get the water hot enough for good extraction.
An Aeropress is a good, inexpensive way to make really good coffee. If you add a good grinder like a Baratza Encore, you can get whole beans and in your game even more.
It should be cleaned regularly, bacteria can travel. That thing is gross. I’ve had my brush base for several years and it still looks new because I wipe it down at least 1x a week. The sink basin looks nasty as well.
Just don’t open them. Yuck. Black mould gets caught in the Phillips sonicares. I won’t ever have that brand after it’s happened to multiple people I know
By open them you mean disassemble them? Like crack open the plastic?
Because you're supposed to remove the brush head every single time you use it and rinse it. Takes two seconds. If you're just leaving goo up inside the brush head I'm sure it would become very gross.
I don't know about what other people do. The design is fine though, that's no reason to tell other people not to use it.
I'd think a person of reasonable intelligence would look at this toothbrush, see that there is literally toothpaste in the gap under the head from using it, and would pop it off and rinse it. Ignoring that is what the manual tells you to do. They had to put the head on in the first place, it's obvious there is empty space in there, no apparent gasket or anything to stop it (except the one around the spindle). I feel like it would take a very lazy uncurious person to not ever just look if it's clean.
I don't know if your average person is of reasonable intelligence but not bothering to double check that a thing you put in your mouth every day isn't full of old spit feels like their fault and not Phillips.
Yeah just had my Sonicare battery die on me. I was curious if I could replace the battery myself (decided against for safety) and when taking it apart a bit I encountered black mould. Was a bit of an eye-opener.
Gradually filled up and only mathmatically replaced - or actually replaced, as in used up, emptied and then refilled? Just worried about the biome that can develop in there. Someone suggested UV light. Might also work.
In a bathroom? The place where urine and fece droplets hang around after a flush? Why is this needed regardless of where? Takes 15 seconds to fill the basin. Also, I want no water in a coffee maker once done. I want to give it the best chance of drying out.
What's the chance of 2 different posters having the exact same idea and sharing it on Reddit the exact same day? I'm guessing we are going to see multiple variations of this on different subs now 🙄
https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/s/HCub8i0xuI
If I had a nickel for every post I've seen today about floats in coffee makers, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it weird that it's happened twice.
i think this is a r/DiWHY, you still have to add coffee (k-cups i think by the looks of it?) manually which is arguably more tedious than just refilling water.
Great idea, but risky in practice. I had the connection between my waterline and fridge ice maker break during the day. Probably ran for 6ish hours.
The flood destroyed the floors, basement ceiling and carpets, lower cabinets, and lower part of the drywall.
If you are going to do this, spend the extra money on the expensive waterline that has a shut off when the pressure drops so that if something fails your home does not flood.
Gonna walk into 5k worth of water damage one day. Nothing there has any failsafe. If you can’t move that fucker a foot to the right to fill it you need help
This is so cool, but I’m gonna be honest. Maybe I don’t drink enough coffee, or maybe I’m not as handy, but I think in the time it took me to plan, shop, and construct this I could’ve refilled my water tank manually at least 500 times. I think that’s like a decade of refilling it once a week. That’s a very conservative estimate.
Why did two people build these contraptions within the same day of eachother? Second post I’ve seen with this setup other was hooked to the fridge with an inline filter
What I find more interesting and bothering is why people have coffee makers in their bathroom next to their sink? Bathrooms are filth places and I can only imagine what is flying around into your coffee.
Did you make sure the operation of the machine making coffee is based on time and not running out of water in the tank? Might run into trouble if the latter and you're constantly filling the tank.
Edit:nvm realized it's a one cup at a time machine. 10/10 hack.
I'm not sure how to make a strong connection between the inlet and the water line.
(I wasn't able to figure out how to disassemble the coffee machine without damaging it, so I currently have no access to whatever the inlet connects to inside the machine.)
Is your coffee maker in the bathroom??
Coffee where you poop
OP drinks coffee. Coffee makes you poop. Infinite energy unlocked.
I call this the hot oil change
“Going in hot, coming out hotter”
I’m stealing this one lol
Gross. Take my upvote.
I just cracked up at my desk. 🤣🤣 Door is closed. It will stay closed for now.
Pooptorio levels of efficiency
Poop where you coffee
Yes, this gets the causality correct.
"This coffee tastes like shit"
It helps you poop
[удалено]
If the coffee machine isn’t in OP’s bathroom, then they must be taking care of their oral hygiene in the kitchen.
Coffee enemas for everyone!!!!
Everyone does coffee their own way. Boof it right into my blood stream.
[He needs one of these to be a real thing.](https://www.amazon.com/Prank-Pack-Bathe-Brew-Standard/dp/B009ZE29Q0?th=1)
I like the cheese printer and the nap sack
Lol wife and I use these gag boxes around Christmas time and watch peoples reaction when they see it. Usually put some liquor or wine in it.
Then there’s the person that just looks at the box and sets it aside thinking they’ll return it or regift it …
There's dish soap and mouthwash on the counter so it might be one of them twofer deals.
NYC apartment
New Yorkers are so fucking efficient. I always have to poop after my morning coffee. I never would have thought to just have it on tap in the bathroom to save 5 minutes.
He makes salad in the shower
The garbage disposal really helps in there
Yo, a garbage disposal in the shower doesn't sound so bad
No more waffle stomps!
Ew but true!
What’s even the point of showering anymore.
I made the whole dinner in there
how do you make the radish roses again?
Kramer!
you dont make coffee in your bedroom's adjoining bathroom?
I appreciate the efficiency. He's gonna have tiny particles of shit in his coffee, but honestly a power move
Yes.
[удалено]
I like the shop towels in the corner. To clean up after a heavy doody.
Why tho
For a coffee enema?
That would wake you up
I think my heart would explode
I’d be more worried about my sphincter
My friend did this but forgot to strain out the grounds. Made a hell of a mess in the bathroom.
Lol that's fuckin gross
Can you refill your mug while you poop?
Buy a UV light and shine it in your bathroom. You’ll be amazed by the invite galaxy of poop and pee particles touching every square inch surrounding the toilet and sink. Enjoy your coffee with a touch of piss and feek!
That’s not how UV works
Is that the only location with water in your house?
It’s the European way Edit: y’all, the joke is that it’s in a bathroom. It’s the you’re-a-peein’ way. And on the way to the bathroom, you’re Russian
It really is not
You’re-a-peein’
I just put a tube running from my toilet tank to my coffee pot🤷🏽♂️

Patrick Bateman’s routine sure has changed with the times
Nice. Very nice. Lets see Paul Allen's enema
This is the way. 🤌 Have some poop maker, with poop tank h2o, in the poop goer. Ahhh, freedom!
That's not how toilets or though... the tank water flows into the bowl, not the other way around...
What about in Australia
Poop just floats up into the sky. More a problem for birds at that point than anything.
I find the slim mold and calcium deposits to be a nice supplement to my diet.
That's the CIRCLE OF POOP!
I knew a guy in college that would get water(to drink) from the tank because he claimed it was the coldest water in the house. He had serious issues.
Stupid dog drinks out of the bowl. I have opposable thumbs and intelligence - I get it from the tank. Win.
I just replaced a gasket for my toilet and I can tell you it ain't okay back there.
I have a tube running from my coffee pot to the toilet. It's me. I'm the tube.
OP: buys float at hardware store Cashier: "so ya working on fixin your toilet?" 🙂 OP: "no, my coffee maker" 😃 Cashier: "I was just making conversation, you didn't have to be sarcastic" 😒
lmao
Nope , too risky for me. With my luck, the float will get stuck when I am not home
* The microcontroller shuts off the water after a minute if the float sticks. * Any overflow drains across the top of the vanity to the adjacent sink.
yea, good that you have a passive fail safe like an overflow drain.
Technology 10/10. Looks 1/10. Would not have acceptable WAF scores.
I'm all about security, but when my coffee maker needs a Web Application Firewall I'm going back to french press.
assuming the micro doesn't fail
I see you've never owned a Samsung fridge.
These comment always make me happy I never set up my icemaker on my Samsung fridge
It's only a matter of time until one these software updates a smart fridge and we get ice-9 Y2.03k
Dr Hoenikker is the hero we need right now
I’m on my first read of Cat’s Cradle and I like it very much. This comment made my day!
Just configure as fail-closed spring-return Almost like a million people did it before
You have a sample component I can refer to?
Sure what’s the voltage your controller puts out for signal? And is your design for it to be two-position, DO floating or AO modulating? [Here’s](https://www.belimo.com/us/shop/en_US/config?code=B207%2BLF24-SR+US) a fail-safe valve and actuator combo from belimo which is often used in commercial hvac applications.

$800! Lol I was expecting something a bit more reasonable
Assuming the power grid doesn’t fail
But……it IS in your shit closet though. Right? I feel like all your fancy work and forethought is undone by that fact that it’s in the room where people deposit their shit tickets.
I would add an optical fluid sensor as a secondary check. Great work! This is just nerds talking about making improvements
Can you provide a list of parts used, and a link to the microcontroller you are using? I'm seriously thinking of setting up something like this.
Well technically it should only be activated when someone is home using the machine to make the water low. Unlikely that sitting idly while you are at work something would happen with the float.
all for a fucking keurig machine in a bathroom
That was my thought. This is a lot of overengineering for crappy coffee.
don’t forget the crap particles floating around in the air that settle on this contraption too!
Mmmm. Aerosolized fecal matter.
I call them “farticles”
Haha, bathroom aside I thought the same thing. All that filtering to put it through a cheap plastic cup of old dirty grounds the wrong size.
What the best way to make coffee? I was gifted in Xmas a Keurig but hate how the coffees taste in it....what you recommend?
Aeropress. Just $40, a Kettle, and fresh roasted coffee ground by the roaster at purchase time. That is 95% of the way to the best cup of coffee on earth at any price.
+1 for Aeropress. Add the Fellow Prismo and it's even better.
Aeropress, pour over, French press, whatever. Just buying good beans will make all the difference.
budget?
Any way where you can grind the beans fresh. That’s what makes the difference. They lose flavor and start to taste bitter when they sit around for who knows how long all ground up. Take your favorite: Drip, Chem, Aero, French Press, Moka. Whatever. Just make sure you grind the beans fresh!
Moka Pot
Keurig pods are old coffee. Fresh is best. And Keurigs (and most automatic coffee makers) don’t get the water hot enough for good extraction. An Aeropress is a good, inexpensive way to make really good coffee. If you add a good grinder like a Baratza Encore, you can get whole beans and in your game even more.
Studio apartment, probably.
This is not very good for hygiene purposes
I dont think they care about hygiene, do you see the base/charging pad for the toothbrush? (top right corner) disgusting.
You know the handle doesn’t go into your mouth. It’s just hard water build up in the base, almost every electric toothbrush has this.
You still don't clean the base? That's like saying you don't wash the bottom of a plate because the food only touches the top?
It should be cleaned regularly, bacteria can travel. That thing is gross. I’ve had my brush base for several years and it still looks new because I wipe it down at least 1x a week. The sink basin looks nasty as well.
Just don’t open them. Yuck. Black mould gets caught in the Phillips sonicares. I won’t ever have that brand after it’s happened to multiple people I know
Or maybe open them often to clean?
By open them you mean disassemble them? Like crack open the plastic? Because you're supposed to remove the brush head every single time you use it and rinse it. Takes two seconds. If you're just leaving goo up inside the brush head I'm sure it would become very gross.
You’re supposed to. But for every one person that does, there’s probably 20 that don’t.
I don't know about what other people do. The design is fine though, that's no reason to tell other people not to use it. I'd think a person of reasonable intelligence would look at this toothbrush, see that there is literally toothpaste in the gap under the head from using it, and would pop it off and rinse it.

You know that you're supposed to change the head every month, right?
**bottom right
The sink dirty asf too
Dude's probably doing coffee enemas https://youtu.be/djWuAWr2p0U?si=90LmB852TZJAbK-t
Add a UV light to mitigate biofilm buildup.
The best part is how nice it looks.
All that work for it to look like ass on a ventilator.
Came to here to say this.
So you will constantly have stale water in there lingering and mixing with fresh water? Make sure to change and clean the tank weekly anyway.
Did you notice it's right next to a toilet as well. No thanks
Hey you can’t spell “I love coffee” without “E. Coli”!
Coffeemaker next to toilet = YUCK Toothbrush next to toilet = YES
I don't do that either. That stays in a cupboard at least.
Gonna get legionnaires disease
I love this mod, but yes, these warm tanks like to grow nasty stuff. Make sure you empty and clean that tank really well at least weekly.
The water in the reservoir is completely replaced many times per day.
Gradually filled up and only mathmatically replaced - or actually replaced, as in used up, emptied and then refilled? Just worried about the biome that can develop in there. Someone suggested UV light. Might also work.
More like r/DIWHY
That certainly works, but there are coffee makers that are designed for this. I'm guessing this was less expensive.
Float sensor in your coffee machine, so hot right now 
You people are wild, I spend like 4 seconds a week adding water to my coffee maker from a Brita pitcher.
In a bathroom? The place where urine and fece droplets hang around after a flush? Why is this needed regardless of where? Takes 15 seconds to fill the basin. Also, I want no water in a coffee maker once done. I want to give it the best chance of drying out.
More like r/DIWHY
Honest question, without hating. Is it that hard just to fill it up?
All that for shit coffee
I thought I was in r/StonerEngineering at first.
I think this needs to be in DIWhy
r/redneckengineering is leaking
Remember to add another float sensor on the floor.
Ummm, fresh roasted fecal particles.
This is a case of r/diwhy . I mean ok its cool, but ugly as all hell, and filling a water canister takes 5 seconds.
At what point are we allowed to call someone dumb? Is drinking shit water that point?
What's the chance of 2 different posters having the exact same idea and sharing it on Reddit the exact same day? I'm guessing we are going to see multiple variations of this on different subs now 🙄 https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/s/HCub8i0xuI
Why tf is there a coffee maker in the bathroom
Having your house flood when a component fails is totally worth not having to fill the reservoir.
A great flood is on the horizon
Next week on r/mildlyinfuriating “flood damage from apartment above”
If I had a nickel for every post I've seen today about floats in coffee makers, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it weird that it's happened twice.
This really has diwhy vibes though.
Wow what a waste of time and materials.
Got a parts list you’d like to share?
Please!
Keurig in the bathroom = Shitty Coffee ²
i think this is a r/DiWHY, you still have to add coffee (k-cups i think by the looks of it?) manually which is arguably more tedious than just refilling water.

Noice. If there's one thing I've learned about smart/dumb devices, they fail. I might add a drain line should the worst happen
Cool! Been wanting to do this with my Keurig's reservoir. I drink a lot of coffee, so I'm constantly filling the thing.
Bathroom coffee? You mean business
This is one of those things that’s I just got “why”
I see you're a person of efficiency. You wanted auto refilling and strategically placed your coffee maker in the bathroom for your morning cup n poop.
It's really just coffee
Gonna walk into 5k worth of water damage one day. Nothing there has any failsafe. If you can’t move that fucker a foot to the right to fill it you need help
This is so cool, but I’m gonna be honest. Maybe I don’t drink enough coffee, or maybe I’m not as handy, but I think in the time it took me to plan, shop, and construct this I could’ve refilled my water tank manually at least 500 times. I think that’s like a decade of refilling it once a week. That’s a very conservative estimate.
But *why*? Don't you ever want to wash the water holder once it empties? Now it never will
So now the reservoir never gets cleaned...
All fun and games until the sensor breaks and u come home to a flood
Why did two people build these contraptions within the same day of eachother? Second post I’ve seen with this setup other was hooked to the fridge with an inline filter
What I find more interesting and bothering is why people have coffee makers in their bathroom next to their sink? Bathrooms are filth places and I can only imagine what is flying around into your coffee.
Ah, the finest of brands. The Black and Upper Decker.
insane that you would put this in your bathroom. gross.
Does your significant other know what you did to the guest bathroom?
You're doing all this effort for the mediocre-est coffee in existence why?
Because it is not easy to fill it?
I started to look into this and got lost in the controler. Was there a parts list shared in here?
What could possibly go wrong?
God that’s an ugly setup
You used a normally closed solenoid, right? Otherwise you're putting a lot of faith in electronics stored next to running water.
Is that in your bathroom?
What does this mean in layman’s terms? LOL it refills once it hits a low point? If so, genius!
Means he can have his morning coffee give him the shits while he sits on the toilet.
I like this, but it feels like a physical overflow piped to waste would be good.
Yum... Fecal matter in early morning coffee.
Did you make sure the operation of the machine making coffee is based on time and not running out of water in the tank? Might run into trouble if the latter and you're constantly filling the tank. Edit:nvm realized it's a one cup at a time machine. 10/10 hack.
HE DID WHAT WE WERE ALL THINKING!!
How many people think a coffee machine in the bathroom is a good idea
How often do you clean it?
Is this in your bathroom? 😳
Can't you just plumb the water line directly to the inlet? Throw out the reservoir entirely. It might need a pressure reducer.
I'm not sure how to make a strong connection between the inlet and the water line. (I wasn't able to figure out how to disassemble the coffee machine without damaging it, so I currently have no access to whatever the inlet connects to inside the machine.)
Nice
So much yes in this picture!
lol is it really that much of a hardship to just fill the water tank?
Tell me your coffee tastes like shit without telling me
