Sous Vide or Urn/Kettle PID Controller

RichardM

I'm not sure if this is even coffee related, or just simply food related, but surely someone will think of a coffee application for this: http://www.sousvideathome.com.au/

Basically it's a PID to keep temperature at a solid temperature for a period of time using a basic rice cooker, but almost anything could be plugged into it with a heat source. Even plugging into a kettle to keep water at a perfect temperature for pourover.

Already similar home brew options in use but nice to see a well presented commercial version 🙂 This is one from Seven Seeds in Melbourne's cupping Lab.

it plugs into the wall socket KK afaik (Not sure if they released a 220v one) it was a project out of kickstarter and was really successful

Yea I like a good steak and I for one would get one just to have one every time I cook one KK

I saw an electric roaster (no not coffee) in Aldi recently that looked perfect for home sous vide - just the right size to be useful but not dominate the room - I have seen some home sous vide that are a converted plastic 60l storage box with an aquarium heater (and pump for water circulation). The best/worst was a majorly heavy duty immersion heater coil on a block of wood over a large plastic storage box with wires bodged into a cheapo PID/SSR on the same block. There are many external PID setups available, some good, some bad but very few actually approved for use in Aus out of the box. I THINK Jim from PIDkits has been selling a PID kettle controller for years now, but could be wrong.

I have one of these, but I just use it for sous vide cooking, it makes the most amazing medium-rare steak, picture attached. I haven't tried it for coffee. I have a Behmor, but the sous vide controller really only works on analogue devices.

i tried getting a unit from sousvideathome recently but they are apparently closed down for business sent an email to them and they responded no longer making them anymore 🙁 surprisingly though, auber instruments (guys who make PID kits for the silvia) actually make kits for sous vide as well!
