The Amazon Smart Plug Is a Great Gift for Coffee Fans

I’ve never been a morning person, though I’ve always aspired to be one. I tend to hit the snooze button multiple times a day and have even been known to sleep through my alarm from time to time. To help me wake up, I need a strong cup of coffee each morning. I used to walk right to the kitchen to turn on my coffee machine as soon as I got out of bed, but that has all changed thanks to one simple gadget.

The Amazon Smart Plug instantly turned my simple drip coffee maker into a smart appliance, and now, I wake up to a hot cup of coffee every morning. The plug makes a perfect stocking stuffer for the coffee lover in your life, and it’s just $25 at Amazon.

While you could spring for pricey smart appliances, this $25 plug can turn the most basic coffee maker into your own personal barista. The device is so easy to set up: All you have to do is plug it into an outlet and follow the steps in the Alexa app, which takes just minutes. It’s compatible with any electric device with a physical on and off switch, which means you can also use it to control electric kettles, fans, and even holiday lights.

I love that I can program my coffee maker to turn on at exactly the right time, so it finishes brewing just as I’m putting on my slippers. Plus, if I want to brew a spontaneous second or third cup later in the afternoon, I don’t even have to get off the couch. As one shopper noted, “since it is a device in the Alexa app, we can start the coffee maker with a voice command.” All I have to do is call out, “Alexa, turn on the coffee maker” or press the on button on the Alexa app, and my next batch will be ready in minutes.

As it turns out, I’m not the only one who loves the smart plug. Over 466,800 Amazon shoppers gave this gadget a five-star rating, including hundreds if not thousands of coffee fans. “It has completely changed my life,” said one reviewer. “It has made my mornings so much more enjoyable,” said another shopper.

Since they’re just $25 apiece, I snagged a few of these smart plugs to further simplify my mornings and wake up with relative ease. I have one to turn on my coffee maker automatically, another to turn on my lamps at 8:00 a.m. sharp, and a third plug to control my fan remotely. Whether you’re looking for a perfect stocking stuffer for your favorite coffee fan or hoping to turn your house into a smart home, snag the Amazon Smart Plug today.
