The coffee maker in this hotel room has a sticker "with intellibrew" and I would just like the damn thing to work. It is a terrible idea to add 500 million transistors to a device just because you can & it's cheap. Terrible.
It doesn't even justify an ASIC; discrete components suffice & would likely dominate cost either way.

good fucking luck making a PID controller out of discrete logic. I for one am glad we aren't stuck in 80s anymore.

I think we just have different expectations for what a coffee maker needs to do. :-)

if you're satisfied with open-loop control on anything that heats food, I weep for your standards

Heating water is a lot easier than heating food because the water provides all the control you need except stop/fail-safe.
