Best Coffee Maker Feature

A Must-Have Coffee Machine Feature

By , About.com Guide

While some would consider a coffee maker automatic shut-off feature to be mostly a convenience setting that keeps your coffee hot and ready, it has a much more important focus - safety. Coffee makers equipped with a shut-off will turn off after a designated pre-set time. Though the period varies with coffee maker models, two hours is the most common. If unsure if your coffee maker has an auto shut-off feature or how long it is, check your product manual.

A coffee maker left on and unattended can burn the remaining coffee in the carafe and could ultimately create a hazardous situation. When we're busy, it's easy to forget to turn off the coffee maker and this feature will do it for you. Be safe and sure by buying a coffee maker with a safety auto shut-off feature.
