    @jon-nyc Thanks for the correction.

    I believe this too is around the corner.

      I was gifted an electronic coffee mug that maintains a constant temperature, but if you want to program a different temperature (or other things) you need their app.

      The whole thing is pretty unnecessary, tbh, with or without the app.

        I wonder if you can change the setting and then disconnect from wifi. If you're like us you only use one setting. I'm guessing we could probably use it without the app at all; we don't do a lot of custom settings.

        In any event, our friends at Abt have added a "no wifi" filter to their search. There are no Bosch models that don't have wifi.

          To add insult to injury (from reddit):

          Bosch’s servers are currently down for maintenance… so there’s literally no way to set a delay tonight until their system comes back online

            If they can make apps necessary they can charge for subscriptions to those apps.

              @CHAS - BMW is already there with that idea.

                  @realplayer I am pining for a traditional coffee pot. There are a million used ones floating around. I want to buy mine new. Farberware brand it is? I think. It will keep the coffee I made hot. I've wanted to hit the "buy now" button more than once.

                  I hope I'll have it eventually.

                  It has no software. It has no camera watching you, and it's not recording your voice.

                  Bonus.

                  However, I use a French press. I like it.

                  Pros- Fast, Inexpensive

                  Cons- Not many are insulated. Glass breaks. Coffee has to be made each time you want a cup, or you have to microwave what's left (or bring it to a simmer?. Not inexpensive if you break the glass. Being made now with glass too thin for purpose

                    @Daniel You can get insulated cosies for French presses. I made my own with an insulating inner filling and it works great. Keeps my morning brew hot enough til I've finished it.

                        @Bernard Great idea.

                        I have a collection of tea cosies in various sizes that I picked up when I was in England many years ago. They do a great job of keeping my tea warm from the first cup to the last.
