[Electronics-Talk] App Programmable Coffee Makers

[Pamela Dominguez]

I was wondering why she doesn't just take apart the one she has and 
thoroughly clean it, then wrap it up in plastic and take it to the new 
apartment.  That's what I'm going to have to do when I move.  Yes, there are 
a few things that are terribly dirty and full of roaches and roach eggs that 
I have thrown out, but I don't think I will do that with my coffeemaker or 
toaster oven.  The second question I was wondering is: why does she need one 
that she can control with her iPhone?  Why not just a regular one?  Pam.

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.
