Possibly the most famous
coffee pot in the world, being the very first object ever to be made the subject of an
online camera. It lives in the corridor outside the Trojan Room, of the
Computing Laboratory in
Cambridge University.
The system was originally constructed by a group of
research students, who were tired of walking up several flights of stairs only to discover that the coffee pot was empty. A small lamp is always left switched on, so you can see the coffee pot at night.
