Ask HN: What's a good coffee pot for implementing the 418 protocol?

My office coffee pot is almost 200 feet away from me and I'd like to be able to check the coffee status without walking over there. What's a good coffee maker to use?

I'm thinking one that has a weight sensor in the hot plate that can report the fullness of the pot, or a timer that tells how long it's been since the last brew, and an ethernet or wifi connection. Nothing too complicated, if possible. I don't actually know anything about http or networking other than a couple of vocabulary words.

reduce the problem as much as possible... use a single serve espresso machine. Volume remaining and freshness aren't really a problem in that context.

The best kind of code is the kind that doesn't get written.
