The coffee brewer controlled by your smartphone that automatically orders beans for you

The coffee brewer of the future may be controlled by your smartphone, and it will automatically tell local coffee shops when you are running low on beans.

That’s the idea behind the Spinn Coffee Brewer, a WiFi-connected device that can make a cup of coffee, espresso, or Americano with minimal effort from a user, except for pouring in whole coffee beans and water. Think of it like a Keurig, but without the pods.

“We’re on the path to make a better cup of coffee,” Roderick de Rode, Spinn’s cofounder and CEO, says of the device, which he claims can make all different styles of coffee with “one push of a button.”

Though a commercial version is not yet ready, Spinn demonstrated a working prototype on Wednesday for attendees of an event put on by Make in LA, an accelerator program for hardware-based startup companies.
