Also, I agree with jon, the only bad thing about this or most coffeemakers is that damn glass carafe/hot plate. Why don't they replace it with a thermal carafe and no hot plate. Hot plates always burn coffee, and since they try to re-use the hot plate to heat the water, usually the water doesn't get hot enough to brew properly [around 202F]. Anyways...

The manufacturer took care of this! The burner only remains on for one hour, then automatically shuts off.
