New Uses of the Internet (Coffee has use for it too!)

Today, the world revolves mostly around the internet; many couldn’t live without it. Most of us use it every day, from work, to sending emails, looking at the news and even using it as a means to socialise with others through social networks. The internet’s use is no longer confined to these menial tasks; it also helps us with much more than what we can do on our tablets and computers.

Below are four new ways that the internet is being used, including our award winning coffee machines with self-adjusting Perfect Grinding System (PGS) that takes all the guesswork out of making the perfect espresso.

·        Smart Footwear became a reality in 2015. What started out to aid the visually impaired navigate their surrounding world better is now available for sighted people that acts as a GPS type of map and tells them which way to walk.

·        Bluetooth luggage – yes really! Suitcases are now upgraded! They have their own connection with an in-built scale which will let you know when you have over packed – crucial for today’s strict airlines.

·        Smart Toothbrushes are available as well that tells us how well we are brushing our teeth. They also have an app included that orders a new toothbrush every three months. Great for teaching kids too – what’s not to like!

·        Defence Pepper spray. Unlike the pepper spray that we’ve grown accustomed to, this great invention will definitely be used more and more in the future. It consists of a pepper spray canister equipped with Bluetooth and a camera. When a victim uses it, it can send a picture of the assailant direct to the police to summon help.

We couldn’t finish without mentioning our Perfect Grinding System (PGS). It’s available on both our traditional and super automatic coffee machines. The machines are fitted with a PGS communication module that will link via Bluetooth to a Magnum on Demand Wireless Grinder.

The coffee machines monitor the coffee extraction and automatically adjusts the coffee grind and dose of the Magnum on Demand Grinder. The grinder adjusts in steps and the result is perfect espresso with a consistent quality every time.

In 2016 we will be exhibiting at lots of coffee events and hospitality shows where we will be launching a new coffee machine with its two-way communication and Internet capabilities. More details on this great new machine will be revealed in the New Year.
