Abstract
A beverage-brewing machine may receive, from an external network via a network-interface device system, a user-request to at least adjust a beverage-brewing parameter. The beverage-brewing machine may adjust the beverage-brewing parameter in accordance with the user-request and instruct a beverage-brewing device system of the beverage-brewing machine to perform a beverage-brew-process in a manner consistent with at least the beverage-brewing parameter adjusted in accordance with the user-request.
Claims33
A beverage-brewing machine comprising:
- a data processing device system;
- a beverage-brewing device system communicatively connected to the data processing device system and configured to perform a beverage-brew-process;
- a network-interface device system communicatively connected to the data processing device system and an external network, the external network being external to the beverage-brewing machine;
- and
- a processor-accessible memory device system communicatively connected to the data processing device system and storing a program executable by the data processing device system,
- wherein the data processing device system is configured by the program at least to:
- receive, from the external network via the network-interface device system, a user-request to at least adjust a beverage-brewing parameter;
- adjust the beverage-brewing parameter in accordance with the user-request;
- and
- instruct the beverage-brewing device system to perform the beverage-brew-process in a manner consistent with at least the beverage-brewing parameter adjusted in accordance with the user-request.

A beverage-brewing machine configuration device comprising:
- a data processing device system;
- an input-output device system communicatively connected to the data processing device system;
- a network-interface device system communicatively connected to the data processing device system and an external network, the external network being external to the beverage-brewing machine configuration device;
- and
- a processor-accessible memory device system communicatively connected to the data processing device system and storing a program executable by the data processing device system,
- wherein the data processing device system is configured by the program at least to:
- receive, via the input-output device system, a user-request to at least perform a beverage-brew-process;
- and
- instruct, via the network-interface device system and the external network, a beverage-brewing machine to perform the beverage-brew-process.
