Smarter iCoffee Remote Grind and Brew Drip Coffee Maker On Demand with Smarter App, Built-In Bean Grinder, and Warming Plate for Kitchen, Dorm Room, or Office in Cream

Best coffee maker I've owned, so far! I have an early morning schedule, often needing to wake up at 3:30 or 4 in the morning so that I can be into work by 5.I Specifically went out to find a smart coffee maker that I could link to my smart home and this was the one I found. I didn't care too much for the grinder on top but it turned out to be a huge plus! The only thing I need to worry about with this machine is cleaning out the filter and it literally takes seconds to do. I was a little worried that grinding the beans at 4am would be a bother, but we're nearly a week into owning this thing and neither my fiance or I have been woken up once (we live in a small 1 bedroom apartment, the bedroom is roughly 30-40ft from the coffee maker), so safe to say it's relatively quiet -- compared to our standard counter-top grinder.Setting it up was a breeze, although not at all the way I'm used to setting up other devices. I read a review on here somewhere that said to literally hold the phone 'on' the sensor.. worked the first try so, thank you to whoever it was that commented that. I've gotten it work with Samsung Smartthings, Alexa, and Google. Only glitch is with Google -- the home app shows it as offline.. but the voice commands work just fine. With all three of these services, though, you have to treat it like it's a light or a tv.. "turn 'device' on." to brew your coffee.Overall, I'm very impressed with this coffee maker. 10/10 would recommend.Oh, and yes, there is a hole just at the top of the reservoir. Not sure what it's purpose is, but one full pot of water will fit without spilling.

The grinding shield is a really bad design flaw. I bought it as a Christmas gift, in Oct. 2024 and the gift wasnt opened until Dec. 29th. I bought it for the app that you can start the coffee from your phone (in bed) for the weekends as different coffee times on the weekends. The black shield on the top where the whole beans go in, only allow a few beans into the grinder. I have to stand there and push the beans into the grinder. I have tried to resolve/return the I coffee to The company by email as there seems to be no other way to communicate. I feel like I have been deliberately delayed with useless recommendations to resolve the issue. Still waiting to hear back from them. I have emailed 6 times with no resolution. I am so bummed as this was a very cool idea that you can turn on the coffee machine from your phone.

Outstanding product. Easy to setup. You can have the unit either grind the beans in the hopper or add your own ground coffee in the filter area. You can also control the fineness of the Grind. All of the controls available on the unit are accessible via their app. Loving it!!

Not sure why everyone's knocking this coffee maker. Granted, mines only been in use for a couple weeks, but I'm happy with it. The network integration was tricky, but I learned that I just need to hold the blinking image right up against the face (almost no gap at all) and it connected fine.I like that there's no clock on the display. I thought that would bug me at first, but I have plenty of other timekeeping devices connected to wifi for that function.People are whining that they are prepping a pot which then eliminates the need for network integration. I prep my pot for brew the night before, that way, when I give my Echo unit the "Good morning" command, my lights will kick on and my pot will begin brewing immediately. Yes, this totally is a convenience thing, but I prefer to put the work in ahead of time the night prior, versus rushing in the morning. If people had better strategies to starting their day, maybe they'd have less to complain about.If things go south within a year, I'll edit my review. For now, I like it.

There are some improvement opportunities, the grinder sometimes does not extract the correct amount of beans and you need to push them manually, you will end up with a non well prepared coffee and need to start over if you don't pay attention to the beans. The Alexa app recognizes the device as a switch only for on and off, so if you want to set up different commands (4 cups, 8 cups etc) will need to use IFTTT, same with Google. It's a good gadget when you have a short time to prepare your breakfast but needs some improvement

This is a very nice intuitive coffee maker with built in grinder. The app is a great feature and easy to use. It took some trial and error to get the grind/strength to our liking but in the end are very happy with the purchase. The color change panels are bonus as well.

The app would not work right the settings would change everytime

This is the worst coffee maker ever, because of the awful app. The machine is subpar for quality. It’s nothing special. I bought it so I could use the Alexa skill which IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE and yet they still advertise it! On top of that, the absolutely horrendous app always disconnects, doesn’t remember the schedule I make. I’ve done three factory resets to try and get it to connect to the app and router again, and it just won’t work. It never goes back to set up mode. I’m frustrated beyond belief and spent good money on this machine. It’s getting returned tomorrow, I’m tired of messing with it. And SUPPORT SUCKS.
