Would you like to start your morning coffee in a relaxed manner using an app or voice command? No problem - how this works depends on the type of coffee machine you have.
Do you have a filter coffee machine with a simple toggle switch? Perfect - then all you need is a smart socket such as the Shelly Plug S Gen3 , which you control via app, schedule or voice command.
Important: If you want fresh coffee in the morning, you must prepare the machine the evening before - i.e. fill the water tank, add coffee powder and set the toggle switch to "On". Shelly will then do the rest - for example, automatically brewing fresh coffee every morning at 6.30 am.
Portafilter machines still need your love and attention during the brewing process. But the time-consuming preheating process is programmable. With the Shelly Plug S you control the power supply and can, for example, warm up the machine in the morning before you get to the kitchen. This saves you valuable minutes - and your machine is ready to go exactly when you need it.
The only important thing is that your machine must not consume more than 2500 W when heating up - otherwise the Plug S is not suitable. The right appliance must be selected depending on how much power your machine needs.
Thanks to the programmable control, the brewing process or heating up of your machine starts at the same time every day - completely automatically, without you having to think about it.
It's even more flexible with voice control: you wake up, say "Alexa, coffee!" - and off you go!
Or you can stay in bed for a while and start the brewing process remotely using the Shelly app. This also works when you're on the move.
The voice assistant also helps when you don't have a hand free - for example when cooking. Simply place an order and the smart control system ensures perfect coffee enjoyment.
Set-up is simple and can be completed in just a few minutes:
Even smarter - for real technology freaks: Do you want your coffee machine to start automatically as soon as your smartphone alarm clock rings? Challenge accepted! This is technically feasible - for example via an API (an interface that allows devices to talk to each other). However, you need technical expertise for this - and a passion for scripting, i.e. writing small automation scripts. Not for beginners, but exactly your thing if you like tinkering. Then you'll be able to make a fresh cup of coffee straight after waking up.
With the Shelly Plug S , you can always keep an eye on the power consumption of your coffee machine - directly in the app. You can see how much energy is being used during the brewing process, when heating up or in standby mode. Perfect if you want to save a little electricity on the side.
For powerful devices such as a portafilter machine, the Shelly 1PM or Shelly Pro 1PM is the better choice. They can withstand more power and measure just as reliably.
Important: These smart relays are permanently installed - this must be done by a qualified electrician .
So you can enjoy your coffee with a good feeling: efficient, safe - and always with an overview of power consumption.
Yes, with the Shelly Plug S you can retrofit filter coffee machines with a toggle switch to make them smart. For machines with automatic switch-off, you need the Shelly 1PM, technical expertise or professional installation.
Filter coffee machines require approx. 800 -1200 watts, portafilter and fully automatic machines often 1400 -1500 watts. Electricity also flows in stand-by mode. You can measure consumption accurately with devices such as the Shelly Plug S or 1PM.
