this plastic container doesn't look like much but it can change the way we think about the kitchen of tomorrow it has one little job to make sure you never run out of your favorite snack and that could mean big things for Amazon and the future of grocery shopping this is the Java smart container it's made by startup company called we plena sh it has little sensors on the inside walls that detect when an item is running low and it will automatically reorder that item for you on Amazon it can even place the order without needing your confirmation making it totally automated as you can probably assume you need to be an amazon prime subscriber for the service to work and there are limits to what it can order the replenish team worked with Amazon to make the container compatible with 50 types of snacks and 20 of those items are different types of coffee pods like cake hub Keurig pods or Nespresso coffee pods make sense coffee is one of those things you never want to run out of and you need something to hold all of those little pod thingies but if you don't care about coffee pods maybe you want to get your fuel from something else like gummy fruit snacks when you set up the container you use the app to sync it with your home Wi-Fi and you pick a snack or coffee pod from the approved list and the container sensors will check the status of your supply twice maybe three times a day you see it learns over time so if you go through something faster it'll check it more often when my fruit snacks got to the bottom sensor they're about five pouches left and it ordered more for me automatically and I got a pop up on my phone letting me know that more were on the way yes I have it a lot of gummies for this but I did it for science so don't judge me okay for science this is designed for individually packaged goods so you can't go putting loose food in here and it wouldn't do you any good since it doesn't have a lid and yeah just just don't do that the we plan is Java is not the first kitchen gadget that goes shopping for you on Amazon Britta has a water pitcher that orders replacement filters target is also Explorer this space with a service called target fetch it's testing out a smart paper towel holder it'll order more rolls after so many spins and there's a bluetooth-enabled soap pump that will also order refills Amazon started this whole Auto reorder idea with - buttons that you press we need more of something the smart container is the next evolution of that concept it's battery powered with three double a's which should last about a year the container itself will cost about $40 when it hits Amazon in October for now we plan ish is finding its start with the coffee crowd and those folks that really love their snacks hey I'm Bridget Carey thanks for watching so would you order a gadget like this that kept giving you more of the same snack I don't write you but I'm really kind of sick of the same snack over and over again but I kind of see the benefits so it was so much think in the comments subscribe ring the bell to be able to catch up on all the latest gadget tree and in the meantime alright I'm gonna go see if I can find myself a soda because I'm getting count there's
