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.

@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.

I love and appreciate tea cozies. I have one.
When visiting the west coast, my friend had an insulated French-made French press and vacuum-sealed carafe all in one. It worked great. And it was stainless steel. It was old, and I can’t remember the name, but awhile back I looked it up online, and the company is still around.

@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.

@bernard @wtg Didn't think about that with French press, thanks. Haven't thought about "tea cozies" for years and don't remember seeing one though must have.
@wtg My parents drank Folger and similar coffee, from plastic drip coffee makers, always black, all day, and often always took an insulated thermos to work.
And yes- they thought nothing of heating it up in the microwave.

@realplayer Makes sense.
Btw, I looked at a stainless, insulated French press.
Impressive.
It was selling for 1/3 more than the coffee pot
fwiw.
