This. There's something about bean-to-cup's aroma that really scratches my caffeine itch. I've got a delonghi at home that I got my wife as a valentine's gift last year, and even plain old woolies beans are delicious in it.

I'm thinking of wiring up my arduino so I can wake up to automated drip coffee since I'm too lazy to make real coffee in the mornings, weekends aside.
That is the correct use of an arduino, IMO.
