[Electronics-talk] help with Speak and Breww coffee time setting

Tue Jan 12 05:59:13 UTC 2010

Sorry to reply to my own post, but I got curious and looked around a 
bit. On the web site 
http://www.caffination.com/review/primula-speak-n-brew-1603/ I found a 
review where it said "This unit is solid and very well done. I'd buy this
even if there wasn't a spiffy voice activated system running my coffee 
scheduling, the fact that there is makes the decision that much easier." 
It also said "This coffee maker costs 80 dollars, which for a well made 
programmable coffee pot is right about what you would expect to pay, but 
for one you can talk to and ask it to brew your coffee for you I'd say 
its a great price. It stands up in build quality to a Cuisinart, which 
we own the grind and brew. I'd love to see a grind and brew version of 
the Speak n' Brew down the line." Also remember this is from a 
mainstream site and not a blindness related sight. In conclusion, I 
don't think this price is unreasonable at all.
