Comment Hate to destroy a great myth (Score 1) 354

but um...the Jura F90 doesn't run on Windows. It uses a legacy operating system to control the simple process of making coffee. The internet connectivity kit is not a permanent attachment. It is only used to update the machine periodically, so it is not going to be attached to the machine all of the time anyway.

FYI, most of the newer models of automatic coffee machines that we sell have data ports. The smaller Jura range have the propriority port. Some of the larger models also have an RS-232 port. Then we have other manufacturers whom are using USB 2.0.

We do have a unit rigged up in the workshop connected to our network. When we want a coffee we email the network resource and it triggers the hot beverage. For instance:

  • cappuccino@mycompany.com makes a hot steamy milk and espresso mix
  • hot_chocolate@mycompany.com makes a rich chocolately drink for non-coffee drinkers
  • decaf@mycompany.com doesn't work on our unit

Enjoy your coffee but sorry to debunk the OP myth.
