It’s no surprise that all kitchen appliances now have the capability to be a part of the Internet of Things. Mitew notes that this gives objects “a unique identity”. These sort of “networked objects” each have their own set of capabilities. Although a smart coffee machine might set you back a few hundred dollars, it can address each of these capabilities.
When set up the machine will have a unique network address, allowing it to be connected to other devices such as a smartphone.
It uses sensors to track coffee bean amounts, water levels and milk temperature.
Information about your coffee can be stored, such as the style and levels so you store the precise measurements.
The coffee machine may automatically begin warming up at a certain time in the morning which is initiated by the cloud’s algorithm.
Then you are able to remotely begin brewing a coffee whilst getting ready.
All of this is done through the interface of a smartphone app for your smart coffee machine.
