I guess my point was, our devices are simple because making coffee is simple. I mean, technically you can just make cowboy coffee with no tools at all, but our methods get the grinds out. I never understood the need for most people to have electric machines, but I definitely will never understand the need for them to be network connected!
My 25 year old La Cimbali takes about 30 minutes to warm up. It’s 30kgs or so of brass and steel. Putting a smart plug on it has been great. The relay clicking at 6am makes me happy.
