Almost all kitchen appliances are smart, one of them is Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, plus a mobile application (perhaps not yet a "smart pasta machine", but may soon appear ).
So, when Goat, the Slovenian coffee appliance manufacturer, launched its first "Smart Drip Coffee Filter Pot" Gina and successfully raised over $80,000 in Kickstarter (target amount of $50,000), you wouldn't be too surprised that after all, It's not uncommon for coffee machines to wake you up.
Different from the general smart coffee machine, Gina respects the precise metering experience, including coffee powder, water, proper brewing times and so on. It is obviously more complex or complex than the feeling or the complexity through the connection of Bluetooth to mobile phones and applications. The dial is more intuitive.
However, Gina is not an accessory for “coffee enthusiasts,†because it lacks monitoring capabilities for measuring water temperature and grinding levels. Therefore, its selling point is more modern and more suitable for entry-level users who rely heavily on smart phones and applications.
In terms of cost/performance, the $150 Gina is practically the same as the $3 cheap plastic cone. You can also choose a ceramic material with better texture.
To a certain extent, Gina actually does not bring about a qualitative improvement in coffee flavors, which is why many smart appliances feel bad. Of course, it is more convenient and more suitable for modern people, but sometimes old things and methods are always better. (Author: Chaim Gartenberg compilation: Bob)
