Why is this allowed? There’s no way to consent to a coffee machine.

Presumably during setup and connection to the AP it has a ToS. Doubtful they just unboxed, plugged in, and it connected to the right AP and went.

It's not allowed in the EU. Not without consent.

It's implied consent when you give it access to your WiFi.

Why you would give a coffee maker access to your WiFi is the real question,
