To recap

If you’re after a decent bean-to-jug filter machine, the Smarter 2.0 is well equipped with easy-to-use app-controlled elements that bring it into the 21st century. It’s not perfect, mind, given the so-so Google integration. But it does make a decent cup, so long as you don’t want espresso degrees of wake-up juice.
