Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority

Staying warm and caffeinated every day of the week can be tougher than it sounds. Sure, a basic drip coffee pot can do the trick, but there are so many better options. Imagine a smart coffee maker that can brew your perfect cup on its own and offers complete control. That's what you're getting with this list, the very best smart coffee makers you can buy.

The best smart coffee makers:

Nespresso Vertuo Espresso Machine
Atomi Smart 12 Cup Coffee Maker
Goat Story Gina
Hamilton Beach Smart Coffee Maker
Smarter SMC01

Editor's note: We'll be updating this list of the best smart coffee makers regularly as new products launch.

1. Nespresso Vertuo by De'Longhi

The Nespresso Vertuo is a versatile coffee maker with a large 54-ounce tank capacity. It can handle five different single-serve coffee or espresso cup sizes and three temperature settings (medium, hot, and extra hot). The Vertuo heats in just 15 seconds for a fast cup any time, and it shuts down after nine minutes of inactivity to save energy.

The device features Bluetooth connectivity, which you'll need for all smart features. There is a Nespresso mobile app, but it's used for the basics like ordering capsules and scheduling machine maintenance. Of course, this is just one of many Nespresso options, so don't be afraid to try your latte a few different ways.

2. Atomi Smart Wi-Fi 12 Cup Coffee Maker

One of the best features of a smart coffee maker is the ability to start a pot from just about anywhere. Atomi's large, 12 cup coffee maker offers both Google Assistant and Alexa integrations that are easy as can be. If you wake up in bed and you're out of range of the microphone, you can start brewing right from the Atomi app on your phone.

You can also schedule a pot to brew at the same time each day, but that's become more of a standard than a smart feature. Atomi's Smart Coffee Maker includes a reusable filter so you can cut down on your waste while you caffeinate.

3. Goat Story Gina

Absolutely nothing beats the flavor of a slow-drip brew. That's what makes the Goat Story Gina so great for coffee purists. It integrates modern technology with a beloved process. It won't necessarily make the process faster or easier, as you still have to do most things manually, but it will take the guesswork and calculations out of the equation.

The coffee maker connects to the official app and uses its integrated scale to tell you when and how much water to add. Just remember, this device doesn't automate coffee making or make it easier. It's meant to be for perfecting the art, instead.

4. Hamilton Beach Smart Coffee Maker

The Smart Coffee Maker from Hamilton Beach offers Alexa integration. This means you can easily operate it with the Alexa app, or speaking to an Alexa smart speaker. It comes with a 12-cup mug, so you can make plenty of drinks for your guests. It also supports different brewing strengths, and you can even create routines for it. The best part is that it's also pretty affordable compared to most other smart coffee makers on this list.

5. Smarter SMC01

Serious caffeine lovers will agree the true coffee-making experience begins with grinding your beans at home. What makes this one of the best smart coffee makers is that it has an included grinder. The unit also comes with a 1.5-liter carafe, interchangeable panels (different colors), and a 3.5-inch LCD. You won't be needing it too much, though, as the official app can do all the work. Not only that, but you can also use it with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and even IFTTT.

We think professional baristas might even like some of these features, while coffee lovers should enjoy them immensely. We hope these best smart coffee makers rock your world, and keep getting better through the years to come. In the meantime, another cup…
