It’s actually for my mom. She has had a Hamilton Beach The Scoop for YEARS and it has worked beautifully for her. Additionally about a year ago I added a SwitchBot Bot onto the front so she could start her coffee before getting out of bed. However, that maker has finally kicked the bucket and the new version isn’t making her happy. It doesn’t brew hot enough and no matter how I imagine it, I can’t figure out how to get it to brew through some kind of smart home option. [(The New Annoying Version)](https://hamiltonbeach.com/the-scoop-single-serve-coffee-maker-black-47620)
Here’s what she needs/wants:
* Brew directly into her favourite 7″ travel mug (needs to be tall)
* Uses measured grounds of coffee she grinds herself (pods are basically out)
* Some way to turn it on from wherever she is in the house (smart home/it’s own app/starts brewing immediately when plugged in/easy button to be pushed by SwitchBot)
To be honest, price isn’t too much of an issue, she only chose The Scoop initially because it was tall enough for her coffee mug.
Any great ideas would be super wonderful!
Thanks!
