Okay, but here me out. Maybe coffee makers shouldn't have a way to generate data.

    Don't get me wrong, I absolutely think having a coffee maker connected to the internet is completely stupid and useless. I made that comment because I hate dishonesty.

    Hard disagree. Built a Gaggimate, can download custom shot profiles and upload shot logs for tasting notes.

    I admit, I don't drink coffee at all, but this Gaggimate thing look interesting.

    My coffee maker is a pot and heating element in a plastic shell, as it should be. As it was for 60 years.

    "As it should be" is a strong statement. There are many more ways of making coffee.

    I feel like you’re purposefully taking that statement out of context to imply that I’m against things like the French press. We’re talking about electric coffee makers, and I’m clearly saying that they should have no internet connection.

    How can I take it "out of context"? I replied to a single sentence comment and said comment is right there.

    If you're only against the coffee maker having an internet connection (and I agree on that), maybe you should've phrase your comment differently, I guess.

    The context is everything before the comment. “Coffee maker”, in this context, pretty clearly means an automatic drip-brew coffee machine.

    It would be like if we were talking about basketball, and I said, “my net is made of chain, as it should be”, and you were to reply, “how dare you, nylon is a perfectly fine material for fishing nets.”

    The other sentence in my (apparently single sentence) comment, “As it was for 60 years”, should also have maybe been an indicator of what I meant.

    My bad, it was a single line comment. Quite a pedantic thing to remark, but ok.

    “Coffee maker”, in this context, pretty clearly means an automatic drip-brew coffee machine.

    I don't think anyone is disputing that or confused about it. It's precisely what my response was about.

    It would be like if we were talking about basketball, and I said, “my net is made of chain, as it should be”, and you were to reply, “how dare you, nylon is a perfectly fine material for fishing nets.”

    Awful analogy. The brewing method changes the taste of the cup, a lot. A more adequate comparison would be saying that there's only one way to make pizza. It's not a minor detail. Even the net thing would be a weird thing to say, though.

    Seems like you where the one confused after all. Oh well.

    None of the good ones involve a computer

    Define computer. Good espresso machines use a PID controller and some have ways to tweak the pressure curve + other features. There are even DIY projects to make your own. I think the part that bothers you is the data collection and internet connection. That is 100% not necessary.
