Smart Coffee Maker Bruvelo Offers Phone-Controlled Brewing

If you’ve ever longed for barista-quality coffee without the wait—or cleanup—you’re not alone. Most coffee drinkers face a trade-off: instant coffee is fast but flavorless, while traditional machines brew well but demand time and effort. What if there were a way to get rich, precisely brewed coffee with just a tap on your phone?

The Bruvelo smart coffee machine delivers that balance. It connects to your phone, lets you set water temperature and coffee-to-water ratio, and automates the entire brew process—from grinding to pouring—for a consistently flavorful cup, all controlled via a smartphone app.

What Is the Bruvelo Smart Coffee Machine?

Bruvelo is a Wi-Fi-enabled, app-controlled coffee machine designed for home users who want café-level results with minimal hassle. Developed through a Kickstarter campaign, it automates every step of coffee preparation, including grinding, dosing, heating, and brewing. The device allows users to customize brew settings based on coffee bean variety and origin.

How Does Bruvelo Control Your Brew?

Through the Bruvelo smartphone app, users can select from three predefined profiles—“Delicate,” “Balanced,” and “Robust”—or manually adjust parameters. Key customizable settings include water temperature and coffee-to-water ratio. The app communicates with the machine via Wi-Fi, enabling remote control and scheduling. For example, you can start brewing from your phone before arriving home. The machine uses standard #1 filter paper and maintains water temperature accuracy to 93°C.

What’s Inside the Bruvelo Machine?

Bruvelo is built with high-quality materials to ensure durability and performance. Its brewing chamber is made from ceramic molds, while the filter incorporates coconut shell activated carbon. An integrated electronic scale ensures precise measurement and dispensing of both coffee grounds and water. The device is engineered to work seamlessly with the included app, offering a fully automated coffee-making experience right from your smartphone.

How Was Bruvelo Funded and When Can You Get One?

Bruvelo launched on Kickstarter with an early bird price of $300 USD (approximately 1835 RMB). The campaign set a funding goal of $150,000 USD. If successful, the creators aimed to begin shipping the devices in June 2015. Backers could reserve a unit at the discounted launch price, with full production contingent on meeting the funding target.
