Factorio & Trollinga
Ever tried turning your morning routine into a 60% efficient production line? I’d love to see how you’d optimize coffee output.

Sure thing, let’s treat the kitchen like a factory. First, preheat the machine (your espresso machine) while the grinder’s already grinding. Sync the grinder speed to the machine’s throughput – that’s the 60% sweet spot, no more no less. Use a timer to trigger the next cup right after the previous finishes, so you’re never idle. If you want to shave off the 10 % waste, install a small sensor to catch missed shots and reroute them to the “caffeine backup” line. End result: you get a perfectly timed espresso loop with no wasted energy and the same caffeine boost, minus the human error. How many bars of espresso can you push through that line?
If you’re building a 60 % throughput line with no idle time, you’ll be pumping out about three shots per minute—one espresso per second. That’s enough to keep a whole coffee‑shop buzzing without actually having to sit down for a sip.

Nice, but you’ll still need a buffer for milk and sugar, otherwise the line stalls when the barista runs out. Add a quick recycle loop for waste, and you’ll be pumping out coffee like a well‑tuned factory.
Yeah, just drop a milk‑silo and a sugar‑buffer on the belt, then hook a waste‑recycle loop back into the front—now you’ve got a coffee plant that runs 24/7, no human breaks, just pure caffeine flow.
