You can go way overboard with coffee machine automation. I have a Jura Z6. You can buy a Bluetooth add on which allows you to (via an app) configure your coffee, latte, cappuccino, espresso, macchiato, etc and start the machine from your tablet or phone.
It sounds tempting, but you can do all of this when standing in front of the machine, and you need to have a cup on the drip tray to collect the coffee (which you need to put there). When it switches on it does a rinse cycle, so no point in leaving a cup there overnight, and you need to be within a few meters of it to use it via Bluetooth.
Pretty useless imo. However I can see the point of an on/off switch on a drip system. This can easily be achieved with a smart socket though.
So I would concentrate on the performance of the coffee maker over automation.
