[Electronics-talk] Programmable coffeepot?

[Christopher Chaltain]

I'm talking about the Speak 'n' Brew from Primula. It's not built for or 
marketed to the blind. It has four buttons on it, which you use to set 
the time and program it when you want your coffee to start brewing. You 
program it with voice commands, and you get voice prompts and feedback 
when you're using it. I figured it would be kind of gimmicky when I got 
it, but I needed a new 10 cup coffee pot anyway, so I took a chance on 
it. I actually like it a lot. I can also see why it might be popular 
with a sighted user. I always find it a pain when I want to reset my 
alarm clock and I have to count and pound on the up and down buttons 
dozens of times. With this coffee pot, you just hit a button and speak 
the time you want to set or the time you want it to start brewing. It's 
an inexpensive way to add programmability without adding a keypad or a 
display.

I'm not sure it's still available, but I did find the following link to 
it on Amazon:
