    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.

            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.

                Microwave? Simmer?

                Blasphemy!

                  @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.

                      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.
