The PRIMULA Speak n’ Brew is the first ever voice-interactive coffeemaker that asks, "Would you like to set the clock or set the coffee brewing time?" and operates in response to your verbal commands. Simply saying, "Set the coffee brewing time," or "Set the clock," will prompt the machine to reply, "Please say the time, including AM or PM." It uses an advanced voice recognition system to identify any time of day you speak, eliminating the hassle of fussing with buttons. The stainless steel coffee maker includes a reusable, dishwasher-safe plastic filter specially designed to allow the water to thoroughly saturate coffee grounds, maximizing the richness and aroma of coffee. The coffee machine brews up to 10 cups at once and allows you to remove the carafe during brewing to pour a cup. To prompt the coffee maker to speak, simply press the "Talk" button; it can also be operated manually.
According to Brian Melzer, Vice President of Primula, “Our fast paced modern world demands instant gratification without sacrificing quality. With the addition of the Speak n’ Brew to our product line we knew that we would be able to offer our customers not only something that they would enjoy and have fun using, but also something that would make their lives easier. It was very important that we were able to offer a product that would be consistent with the quality our customers have come to expect from the Primula brand for nearly 40 years.”
Since more than two-thirds of all adult Americans are coffee drinkers and nearly 50% start their day with a cup of coffee in their own kitchen, the Primula Speak n’ Brew is the perfect addition to any home and makes a great gift for birthdays, bridal showers, Fathers’ Day, housewarmings and the holidays.
The PRIMULA Speak n’ Brew has a suggested retail price of $79.99 and will be in stores and available online on November 1, 2009 at Amazon.com, Bed Bath and Beyond, Hammacher Schlemmer, Macy’s, primulaproducts.com and other fine retailers nationwide..
