[Electronics-Talk] App Programmable Coffee Makers

[Arlene]

Unfortunately living in an apartment, having ants and roaches come into your 
apartment, most likely from other neighbors, is something that comes with 
living in a building with other households. As far as accessibility is 
concerned for coffee makers that are accessible that don't require operating 
with the iphone, which I know is your preferrence, and I'm sure you're aware 
of what is available in what I'm about to say, there's the mr. coffee makers 
and the the coffee maker that we've had the thread about. Hopefully someone 
knows of coffee makers of your prefferences, and in those suggestions of 
coffee makers you could find out about that next coffee maker you purchase 
that you could work with your iphones. when you buy your next coffee maker 
hoping for the best that it doesn't get any roaches or ants in it. I really 
hope for the best for that, because is disconcerting when you get critters 
in your machines and it's  the worst part about living in apartments. I love 
all this sharing of information, so I hope you find a great coffee maker, of 
just what you want, that you could operate with the iphone. I'm so new to 
the iphone now, I'm not no where ready for a machine that you operate from 
the iphone, but I could understand why you would want that, since the 
machine is made more accessible by way of the phone.
