Imagine this: You re half asleep on a Sunday morning craving a hot cup of joe, but too comfortable to get out of bed. Fortunately, you set your Hamilton Beach Smart Coffee Maker the night before, so the only thing standing between you and a java jolt is the phrase, Alexa, turn on my coffee maker. Seconds after uttering those words, the aroma of freshly brewing coffee starts to fill the air. And if talking is too much to muster first thing in the morning, you can start this 12-cup coffee maker from the Alexa app or create a Routine to have it automatically turn on at a certain time. Now, at $89.99, this smart kitchen appliance costs more than three times as much as a basic programmable model, which is a lot to pay for convenience. But if you re firmly entrenched in the Alexa ecosystem and willing to pay a premium for connectivity, it works as promised.
