After the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), there is no such thing as a non-smart product. Every single product in the market is trying to get ‘smarter’ with technology. When such is the case, how can coffee-machines be behind?
IoT has taken over the coffee-machine scene and many top brands are coming up with latest models of coffee vending machines. These machines are evolving into technologically advanced gadgets. Modern filter coffee machines are getting more and more innovative and futuristic by the day. Features to control your coffee-machine from your mobile phone and manage your data using cloud technologies have made coffee-machines smarter.
Let us see what some of the common features of such filter coffee machines are and what makes them ‘smart’.
Remote Control
New-age coffee machines can be operated from your mobile phone through dedicated apps. All the settings of the coffee machine can be adjusted from the mobile app and you can even start brewing your coffee with a single touch as soon as you wake up. This will make sure that you have your cuppa waiting for you exactly when you need it.
Temperature detection
Most people prefer their coffee at specific temperatures. However, coffee is usually had while doing work or over a chat and this makes it difficult to maintain the coffee’s temperature and the coffee often goes cold. Innovative coffee machines have temperature control that constantly measures the temperature of the coffee cup and sends an alert when the temperature decreases. This, in turn, can switch on the heating mechanism to maintain the right temperature.
Refill alerts
Coffee-lovers often drink multiple cups of coffees each day and need a refill at specific times. They might need these refills to be specifically brewed as well. For example, they might want strong coffee in the morning and a decaf in the late evenings. This information can be stored in the respective mobile app and the refills can be made automatic.
Preference retrieval
Iot coffee vending machines store the data that you give as input and recognize the patterns in the data. In fact, this crucial consumption data is where the big money is in Iot. The metrics of usage are processed to arrive at specific preference patterns and this seamlessly predicts future usage for the convenience of the users.
Composition details and stock management
Details about the coffee brew including the strength of the coffee, the temperature, the amount available, etc can be monitored via the internet. You can also directly refill coffee powder by purchasing online through the coffee-machine app. Such features can make sure that you never miss out of filling up the ingredients for your coffee as well as let you know what the exact composition of your coffee is.
Alerts and notifications
You can set up notifications and alerts on your coffee-machine that lets you track what stage your coffee is even while you are on the move. You can get to know whether coffee will be ready when you get home. If you need to change the settings, that can be done on the move as well.
We’re sure the evolution of filter coffee machines will keep the real coffee lover in a good stead and let them have the sip of their zero-compromise blend of filter coffee and also give the Italian coffee machines a run for their money.
