Executive Summary
Coffee lovers all over the world deal with the never ending struggle of having to make their own coffee. This usually results in them waking up earlier than they need to or causing them to be late for work because they got caught in the Starbucks rush. Our product is a web application that allows users to remotely schedule and have their coffee brewed from afar via an internet connected coffee maker. Currently, we do not have a direct connection to the website. Our coffee maker will be linked to user accounts and will allow the user to access the machine's settings. Instead of scheduling your life around coffee, you can now schedule coffee around your life.
Packaging
If you have hardware, consider Small Build, Big Execuition for ideas on the final packaging.
Installation Instructions
