Talking Coffee Maker Accepts Verbal Commands

Gizmo of the Day, Home Automation / By /

talking coffee makerEven if you’re still way too sleepy to see your coffee maker’s buttons, you can still operate and program this coffeemaker just by using your voice. It asks you questions and you respond. For example, say “Set the coffee brewing time” and this smart cookie will prompt you with “Please say the time”.

Of course, there are still buttons in case you want to go ‘old school’. This maker brews up to 10 cups and lets you remove the carafe mid-brew to snag a quick cup. Plastic filter and carafe are dishwasher-safe.

Talking Remote Meat Thermometer

Gizmo of the Day, Home Automation / By /

Certainly not the first meat thermometer out there, and it won’t be the last, but this one from Grill Alert is pretty nifty. Stick the stainless steel probe into the meat and the transmitter wirelessly sends updates to the receiver which you can wear on your belt if you’d like.

The receiver/display shows you information like the temperature, the desired temperature based on the type of meat being cooked. It also has a small database of meat types and recommended temperatures. And the best part is that you don’t need to continuously look at it, because it has voice prompts that say when the meat is almost ready and ready.

In case this one is a bit too pricey for you and you don’t care for the voice and/or wireless features, take a look at some of the other meat thermometers we’ve featured.
