The kitchen — long the domain of ritual, aroma and simple functionality — is becoming one of the most visible frontiers of the smart-home revolution. Two appliances that once did little more than heat water and drip coffee now sit at the intersection of convenience, personalization and energy-conscious design: smart coffee makers and smart kettles. Together they’re transforming not just how people prepare beverages, but how brands compete, how homes are automated, and how consumers think about everyday luxury.

Market momentum and the numbers that matter
Smart coffee makers are no longer a niche luxury. Analysts estimate the smart coffee maker market in the mid-2020s measured in the hundreds of millions of dollars with steady growth expected through the decade, driven by consumer demand for remote control, customization and connectivity.
Smart kettles — especially thermostatic and app-controlled kettles that offer precise temperature control and integration with smart-home ecosystems — are expanding even faster in many forecasts, reflecting strong interest in convenience, energy efficiency and tea/coffee preparation precision. Several market studies project double-digit CAGRs for smart kettles over upcoming years as manufacturers broaden their portfolios and pricing tiers.
What’s driving growth?
Several clear forces power this market surge:
IoT and platform compatibility. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and integration with voice assistants have become baseline expectations. Consumers want appliances that join routines, respond to voice commands and participate in home automations — for example, a “Good morning” routine that starts the kettle and pre-warms the coffee brewer. The rise of Matter and new smart-home hubs is making cross-brand interoperability more realistic and attractive.
Personalization & user experience. Smart coffee makers let users program brew strength, temperature, pre-infusion and even schedule multi-cup brewing from a phone app. Smart kettles that hold water at exactly 57°C for delicate green teas or bring larger volumes to a rapid boil on tap respond to enthusiasts who care about beverage science as much as convenience.
Premiumization and at-home rituals. With more people seeking café-quality drinks at home — and willing to pay for convenience and consistency — manufacturers are adding features that used to be the preserve of high-end espresso machines: precise temperature control, integrated grinders, brew profiling and recipe sharing.
Energy and safety features. Auto-shutoff, boil-dry protection, scheduling and ECO modes appeal to safety-conscious and sustainability-aware buyers. Smart scheduling (e.g., boil only just before you wake up) can reduce wasted energy.
Broader smart-home adoption in emerging markets. Urbanization and greater smartphone penetration in Asia-Pacific and other emerging regions are accelerating adoption of app-driven kitchen appliances, expanding the addressable market for brands.
Product innovation and differentiation
Product development is branching into several distinct directions:
Connected convenience models. Affordable, app-enabled drip coffee makers and electric kettles geared to mainstream buyers. These prioritize simple pairing, basic scheduling and voice control.
Precision and specialty devices. Thermostatic kettles and pour-over style smart brewers aimed at enthusiasts and the specialty coffee/tea community. These command higher price points and often include more granular controls.
Integrated systems. Full kitchen ecosystems (appliance makers, coffee brands and platform partners) that offer loyalty integrations, subscription pods, and recipe libraries accessible through a single app.
Design and sustainability. Stainless steel, BPA-free components, energy-saving modes and modular replaceable parts (to extend product life) are becoming selling points as consumers scrutinize environmental impact.
Channels, price points and consumer segments
Retail has broadened — direct-to-consumer, online marketplaces, and traditional appliance retailers all play roles. Entry-level smart kettles and coffee makers can be found under $100, while premium smart brewers or kettles with thermometers, precision heating and connected features can cross several hundred dollars. Commercial and hospitality segments are also experimenting with connected beverage stations that personalize orders and integrate with loyalty programs.
Target audiences break down roughly into: convenience seekers (scheduling, remote start), tech adopters (voice and routines), beverage enthusiasts (precision control), and eco-consumers (energy features and long-life design).
Challenges and friction points
Growth isn’t without hurdles. Interoperability remains a user pain point: fragmented ecosystems and proprietary apps create friction for consumers who want a single, cohesive smart-home experience. Privacy and data security also matter — connected appliances collecting usage patterns raise questions about data storage and corporate use. Price is a barrier for mainstream adoption at the high end, and simpler, cheaper models must balance connectivity against cost.
Manufacturers must also manage product longevity: integrating electronics and connectivity into devices typically used for boiling water or grinding beans requires robust testing and clear repair/replace pathways to avoid waste and customer dissatisfaction.
Competitive landscape and go-to-market moves
Traditional appliance brands, specialty coffee equipment makers, and tech companies are all staking claims. Partnerships between coffee brands and appliance makers (bundled subscriptions, recipe content) help differentiate offerings. Meanwhile, smart-home platform makers are pushing for Matter and thread support to reduce consumer confusion and ease cross-device automations.
Looking ahead: what to expect by the end of the decade
Expect three broad outcomes:
Convergence of ecosystems. Better cross-brand compatibility as Matter and major hubs mature, making it easier for coffee makers and kettles to join broader home routines.
Feature stratification. Clear tiers emerge: mass-market connected basics; midrange hybrid models (some precision features plus app control); and high-end specialty devices for aficionados.
Sustainability & services. More emphasis on repairability, modularity and value-added services (maintenance, recipe subscriptions, beans/tea delivery tied to the device). Market projections suggest healthy growth across both smart coffee makers and kettles with kettles showing especially rapid uptake in several reports.
Smart coffee makers and kettles are no longer curiosities — they’re practical, desirable entries in an expanding connected-kitchen market. As devices become more interoperable, energy conscious and feature-rich, the key winners will be companies that deliver reliable performance, clear value (not just gimmicks) and an experience that slots effortlessly into a user’s daily routine. For marketers and product teams, the opportunity lies not only in hardware but in the services, content and partnerships that transform a morning brew into an owned ritual.
