In this part of the video, the speaker discusses a Wi-Fi coffee machine introduced at the January 15 Consumer Electronics Show. Initially expected to be delivered shortly after pre-ordering in February, it faced delays and arrived in October with a design change from stainless steel to plastic. This smart coffee machine allows users to start brewing coffee remotely via a smart device, set brewing schedules, or have it start when they return home. The machine features interchangeable plastic panels, grind and brew functionality, and a water tank at the rear. The control panel includes settings for grind coarseness, coffee strength, and brew quantity. The speaker notes an unexpected issue with the bean container lacking an airtight lid, and mentions the short power lead as a minor inconvenience.

In this part of the video, the creator deals with a coffee machine issue where the machine doesn’t recognize the carafe. They try to troubleshoot by checking the carafe position and ensuring that the micro switch is pressed correctly. Despite initial failures, they reassemble the machine, and it eventually works, grinding beans and brewing coffee. The hot plate function is discussed, noting that it gets very hot. Transitioning to the WiFi functionality, the creator demonstrates using an app to control the machine, adjust coffee strength, set the number of cups, and manage the hot plate. The app setup involves entering the WiFi password and offers various controls, although some icons are inoperative.

In this part of the video, the speaker highlights how the alarm system of a coffee machine does not integrate seamlessly, necessitating manual activation via the wakeup mode on the top right of the interface. They explain the wakeup mode for setting alarms and the home mode for automatic brewing when a connected smartphone joins the Wi-Fi network. The descaling option and phone notifications are also described. The speaker attempts to make coffee using the app but encounters issues with coffee grinds that must be manually cleared—a task not automated by the machine. They struggle with a switch problem, temporarily fixing it with duct tape, which could cause messes if the device brews without an actual pot. They also reflect on mistakenly thinking the machine could serve both cups and jugs while depositing used grinds automatically, a feature it lacks. They deduce their problems might be unique to their unit and not a widespread defect.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the necessity of a lid to keep beans airtight in a device, pointing out that recent pictures show the device without a lid, which seems illogical as it risks water getting into the beans. They note that older CES pictures did include a lid, leading to confusion about its current absence. The speaker also critiques the app interface for having icons that are too small and clustered at the bottom of the screen, calling it an expensive lesson learned and expressing disappointment over what seemed promising in January but is now underwhelming.
