That’s one fancy coffee pot.

This coffee pot can be taken over by a remote attacker, who can cause the coffee to be weaker or stronger; change the amount of water per cup; or cause the machine to require service.  That’s an amazing coffee pot.

I’m not quite that geeky or quite that wealthy - I’ll stick with my Capresso, thanks.  Every morning it wakes up fifteen minutes before I do, grinds the beans, filters the water, and brews up better coffee than Starbucks.

At $200 it’s a bit of an investment, but then, we used to run through $40 coffee pots every few years and not enjoy the coffee nearly as much.  This pot is holding up better than the cheaper ones, and it makes mornings a lot more pleasant, so I don’t regret spending the money at all.  And we do spend less money at Starbucks, so it’s probably a net gain.

I’ll gladly live without cable TV, but don’t mess with my coffee.
