Well, we may not need it here in southern California where we know it's 70 degrees everyday, but if you have to watch the weather every morning to figure out what you're going to wear to work, now you can get that information while you're waiting for your coffee to brew. On November 15th, Melitta will begin shipping its new ME1MSB Smart Brew, a 10-cup coffee-maker that also provides animated weather information on an LCD display. The region-specific weather info comes from MSN Direct via an FM signal, so there's no Internet connection required. It displays the current temperature and conditions, high and low temperatures, and chance of precipitation, so if it's really cold outside, you can pour yourself a second cup.
Very cool.
