Hack your coffee maker to start brewing the moment you wake up

It's one thing to have your coffee maker on a schedule. It's something else entirely to have it turn on and brew a cup of coffee, only after you wake up and without pressing a single button.

What you'll need

The downside to making coffee automatically every morning is that it doesn't come cheap. In total, the smart devices will cost you between $200 and $350.
$



A Fitbit, Jawbone Up or another fitness tracker which tracks sleep and integrates with IFTTT. (All current Jawbone Up trackers track sleep, while the only currently available Fitbit that does not track sleep is the Zip.) These trackers range from $100 to $250.

A Mr. Coffee Smart Optimal Brew, which is WeMo-enabled and integrates with IFTTT. The Mr. Coffee Smart Optimal Brew retails for $150, but can currently be found online for around $111.

An IFTTT account with active channels for your fitness tracker and the coffee maker.

Curious Oriental Laundry sign a bit further away... does it say "Not in the trust? What would that mean?

Good question, Rose. Best I can tell, from some comments about that picture....

"Oriental Laundry was a local New Orleans chain of laundries owned by Charles Tung. Mr. Tung's tomb is documented in Henri Gandolfo's book on Metairie Cemetery. There were several 'Oriental Laundries' around the city. They all had a sign that said "Not in the Trust," which I think meant they weren't unionized."... "The term 'NOT in the TRUST' is in direct reference to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890."

Maybe it's explained in the book referenced.
