An IT professional named NomadsGalaxy reported that his parents’ Keurig K-Supreme SMART coffee maker transmitted approximately 1TB of data over their Wi-Fi network in just ten days. The device saturated the home’s access point, causing significant slowdowns that prompted Nomad to investigate. While he noted that most traffic remained local and did not leave the network, the specific nature of the uploaded data remains unclear. He suspects a bug within the device’s software stack rather than intentional data collection.<\/p>\n

Nomad analyzed screenshots from his UniFi networking system showing roughly 1TB of total traffic over nine days and ten hours. Calculations suggest an average upload speed of about 9 Mbps, which is unusually high for a coffee maker operating on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Although the device supports remote brewing and pod recognition via Wi-Fi, Nomad concluded that the massive data transfer likely consisted of local junk data. He resolved the immediate issue by rebooting the unit and placing it in a segregated network section, though he plans to keep it offline permanently.<\/p>\n

Experts note that Keurig devices typically send small amounts of data regarding power states, brew status, and software versions to the cloud via Microsoft’s Azure RTOS. However, 1TB represents a massive anomaly compared to standard usage. This incident highlights broader concerns about IoT privacy, following similar controversies involving LG smart TVs where manufacturers admitted to listening for wake words or scanning local networks. Currently, Keurig has not issued an official comment regarding this specific malfunction.<\/p>\n
