The coffee maker is the next appliance to get smartphone app-based connectivity courtesy of Bruvelo, a machine claiming to be "simple smart, and do one thing-- extremely well."

The smartphone app and wifi connectivity allow users to decide exactly how the machine brews their coffee, with "Recipes" providing custom settings for temperature, ground-to-water ratio and steep time. The less obsessive of coffee drinkers can also stick to a trio of preconfigured "flavour profiles" (delicate, balanced or robust).

The machine uses regular coffee beans, and includes a built-in ceramic burr grinder, water filter and weight scale, meaning all one has to add is standard paper coffee filters, water and, well, coffee beans.

The Bruvelo coffee maker is currently available on a preorder basis on Kickstarter, with shipments to kick off from June 2015 should the crowdfunding campaign reach its $150000 goal on November 2014.
