An IT professional says his parents' Keurig K-Supreme SMART coffee maker transmitted roughly 1TB of data over their home Wi-Fi in ten days, enough to saturate their access point. The claim, reported by Tom's Hardware, is raising questions about how much data smart appliances use in the background and whether connected coffee makers need that kind of connectivity at all.

Why now: People are surprised and alarmed that a smart coffee maker could consume as much bandwidth as heavy streaming, fueling debate about internet-of-things devices.
