Fun fact, first webcam was a series of updating stills of an actual coffee pot so some engineers would know if there was coffee made.
Technically, all video is a series of updating stills.
True, but most streaming media now is a bunch of stills with the changes for each individual frame between them.
True, but webcams still just deliver raw frames (or compressed frames in the case of MJPEG).
With that, plus image recognition, plus a control system, you could use rfc2324 to implement the digital control side
Though I think I'd use weight, temperature, and flow sensors for easier service implementation
And then plug those values into a image generation service to give users a visually intuitive way to see if there's cooffe or not!
