I spent over $200 on a 'smart' coffee maker that's dumber than my old one
Bought one of those connected brewers a couple years back, thinking it would be a game changer. The app was clunky, the auto-schedule failed half the time, and it needed a firmware update every other month just to make a pot. My simple $40 drip machine from college never had a single issue. Now the smart one's stuck in descale mode and the company wants $75 for a service call. Anyone else get burned by a gadget that promised to make life easier but just added headaches?
