The Project
 Operation of a Commercial Coffee machine
What we will analyze
 The mechanics and the operation of an espresso coffee
pot.
 The Thermodynamic perspective of the espresso pot.
 How to enjoy your Cappuccino at the right temperature.
We need to find
 The amount of water the coffee pot can contain.
 The perfect temperature for an espresso.
 The time we need to make the espresso.
 How much energy did we consume.
Cappuccino
Cappuccino instead of an espresso
 A good coffee depends on its temperature.
 After making the espresso, we need to put milk to make
the cappuccino.
How much milk do we need to make the cappuccino?
How to improve the coffee pot
 How much time does the coffee pot keep the espresso in
the right temperature?
 Is it worth it to better insulate the machine or just keep it
as it is?
