We like a good coffee talk, but this coffee maker takes it to a new level. This is the first voice-interactive coffee maker 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.

Draw your design or write a message on your chest using the T-sketch. Make yourself a ‘Hi my name is…’ tag, or write something really random that people are guaranteed to ask you about or simply doodle. Then through the use of cunningly concealed AAA batteries (remove before washing!) you not only get to project your innermost thoughts but you get to make them flash too. Wherever the specially designed pen hits the wipe clean board, lights below the surface are activated. You can then set different vibrancies for the design- anything from a dull glow to a flashing strobe. Great attention grabber on drunken nights out!
