The new Melitta ME1MSB Smart Mill & Brew 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker is in the news - it’s all the rage because it takes advantage of a wireless-data system built by Microsoft to automatically display current weather conditions and forecasts. While this “smart objects” concept â€â€? imbuing everyday objects with the ability to deliver at-a-glance information â€â€? has been in the works at Microsoft since at least 2000, it’s the first time that anyone’s seen it in a coffeemaker. I wonder if I’ll be able to see it before I have my first cuppa?
This 10-cup programmable coffeemaker grinds and brews automatically with 7 grind selections; adjustable strength; brew-pause; warming plate with auto shutoff. LCD display with animated coffee and region-specific weather information via MSN Direct. The info is received via FM signal; no setup, subscription, or Internet connection required. Be the first on your block!
