Control This Stylish Coffee Machine With Your iPhone Or iPad

By Matt Sabourin on December 19, 2011

Top Brewer is a high-end coffee machine that works in conjunction with an iPhone/iPad app, letting users beam in their custom drink requests from across the room. Created by Danish coffee machine manufacturer Scanomat, Top Brewer’s minimalistic design features a single, adjustable-height spigot that rises out of a stainless steel counter top, a drain and a sleek touch panel. The rest of the machine’s guts, which include the brewer itself, two output grinders and necessary ingredients for concocting the perfect cup of Joe, are hidden inside a pull-out compartment beneath the counter top. Because the unit utilizes two output grinders, the time between brewing cups is kept to a minimum, allowing for up to four cups of filter coffee per minute.

The machine’s custom app turns a users iPhone or iPad into a remote control and allows users to connect to the machine wirelessly and select from a menu of available drinks and cup sizes (small or large). Coffee freaks can go as far as to pre-program their own favorite brew combinations, giving them complete control of their coffee’s chemistry.

Check out the video below and let us know what you think of Top Brewer. Is this the future of the home coffee machine? Is there any other functionality you would like to see included?
