Coffee gets a lot of us going in the morning. Whether it’s the comforting warmth, that jolt of bitterness, or — let’s be honest — the caffeine, coffee is the fuel that starts our engines each day. Coffee has evolved from its primitive origins as berries we chewed on, to the simple automatic coffee makers of the mid-century, and now today to fully automatic machines that can take care of every function for us — and some even have Alexa voice assistance built-in.
A super automatic espresso machine handles all of these tasks for you. With one press of a button it will grind your beans to your exact specifications, tamp them and extract the espresso into your cup. Most super automatic machines also have built-in milk heating and frothing too. Your contribution to this technology is pouring your favorite beans into the hopper and pressing that button.
These super automatic machines also make a variety of different beverages, meaning you’re not limited to espresso only; you can upgrade to a cappuccino or sip on an afternoon latte with the press of a button. No remembering measurements, grind specifics, or recipes. A super automatic espresso machine is definitely worth it, assuming you drink at least one or two espresso-based beverages a day.
Keurig has been one of the early adopters of this technology with its pod-based machine. Through the Keurig Alexa Skill, you can ask Alexa to turn the machine on or off, adjust brew strength settings, and much more. There are also ways to hack this set up with an existing coffee maker and a smart plug connected to Google or Alexa. These hacks tend to work best with machines that use a manual on-off switch, but this can be a more cost-effective way to add smarts to your coffee maker.
So is all this technology really necessary? In short, of course it’s not. Particularly with the resurgence of analogue coffee brewing methods, there are plenty of folks who find pleasure in their hands-on coffee routines.
