Keurig Smart Coffee Maker Reported to Send 1TB of Data Over Wi-Fi in 10 Days
Key points
- Keurig K-Supreme SMART coffee maker uploaded 1TB of data in 10 days.
- The data traffic saturated the home Wi-Fi access point.
- Rebooting and VLAN segregation temporarily resolved the issue.
- The user suspects a bug in the device's network stack.
Excessive Data Usage Detected
A Keurig K-Supreme SMART coffee maker, model with BrewID, was observed sending over 1 terabyte of data upstream over a home Wi-Fi network within a 10-day period. This significant data transfer led to network slowdowns, prompting the device owner's parents to inquire about their internet performance.
Investigation and Device Details
The issue was identified by an IT professional using UniFi network monitoring tools, which showed the 'Keurig' device on an 'Appliance network' with 1,008.45GB uploaded over 10 days and 9 hours. The K-Supreme SMART with BrewID model features app control, Alexa and Google Home voice control, and BrewID technology to recognize Keurig pods and apply recommended settings over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
Resolution and Suspected Cause
Initially, the device was disconnected. Later, the user concluded that the UniFi report of 1TB upload was likely local junk data, not actual external traffic. Rebooting the coffee maker and isolating it on a segregated VLAN temporarily resolved the excessive data usage. The user suggested that a flaw in the device's network stack might be the underlying cause of the issue.
Impact and Recommendations
The reported data usage, averaging about 97GB per day, significantly exceeds typical smart appliance data consumption. While the issue was mitigated, the user recommended that Keurig address the potential flaw in the device's network stack to prevent similar occurrences for other users.
