Show HN: A smart coffee scale that can order coffee on its own

Hello again! I recently shared another device of mine (a focus timer based around an epaper display) and seeing all the positive feedback motivated me to keep building :)

What you're looking at is a overcomplicated way of buying coffee a coffee scale that is connected to a coffee shop's (terminal.shop) API. You can order new coffee directly from the scale or even let it do that on its own once your bag starts to run low. It also allows you to weigh out single doses of coffee. Apologies if this sounds a bit too much like an advertisement for them, but that's the reason this is even a thing.

The README contains more information on all the background, how I built the device, and assembly instructions.

hey man, this is awesome. I had a similar idea but to do this with spices at a level where you could use the spices efficiently and know the levels.. mixed with a program and llm goodness this could also help with creating on demand recipes. Among a few more other use cases. Let me know if I can help in any way.
