does presto have a turn off when the water is low or a timer. the biggest problem i have with coffee is the pot burning

A light at base turns red and shuts off when coffee has perked. There is no off switch only the plugged in cord. i always unplug, the plugged in version keeps coffee at brewed temperature.

Unfortunately, no Dianne. It doesn't have an automatic turn off. You just have to keep an eye on it. I typically will unplug the pot after my second cup, unless I see others in my office (or household) actively drinking coffee too. I figure if I really must have another cup, I can always heat it up in the microwave, but so far, I haven't wanted to. I usually unplug the pot around 11 am, as everyone seems to be done drinking coffee by then. Set a timer if you need too, or whatever works to remind you to unplug the pot.

I believe you are referencing leaving the coffee pot switched to the on position. If the coffee maker is switched off or unplugged it will be necessary to turn it on and wait for the water in the reservoir to heat up. I have never had a problem on a day-to-day basis, turning it off/unplugging it if we were going to be gone for a few days or more. I hope this addresses and answers your concerns.

No. It's meant to be kept on & the water temperature is maintained hot enough to make a cup of coffee or tea instantly. I keep mine on 24/7 and only unplug it if I'm going to be gone overnight or longer.

Kind of.... it has a small low-med-high knob that is turned by hand. I can't say for sure if the low extreme is 'off', though. I believe it is advised to keep unplugged when finished, so that might be the only way to totally shut it off. I have, on occasion, ran it (and the coffee maker) through a timer switch on the wall socket. The heavy duty kind for heaters and other high draw appliances. This is the kind that has the little on the top the over ride the on-off cycle.Intermatic TN311 15 Amp Heavy Duty Grounded Timer

Possibly. Brewing is started by an on-off rocker switch that must be physically activated. Conceivably, you can set it to on, plug it into your external timer, and let it go. At the appointed time, electrical current flows to the coffee maker, water is boiled, coffee is made, etc. The Bonavita then turns itself off some time later; the rocker switch flips back and I do not know the mechanism that causes this.

Yes... The shutoff time is adjustable... It also has a convenient double "auto" brew cycle... In case you have a different schedule during the week, you just set it and select the time that you want your coffee, no need to constantly change the brew time for different days... Great coffee pot!!!

Usually, if I decide I want less water flow on any of the three buttons, I press the current button and the water shuts off. I haven't had what you're experiencing, but I'd pull the cup away and let the extra water gather in the drop container so my coffee wouldn't get too watered down. You might have to email Nespresso if this continues to happen.

It does not ever turn off. And it doesn't have a way to time it to come on when you want; it does not have any buttons. Once you plug it in, it boils and perks. After that process is done, the thermostat pulls the heat back and goes into warming mode that keeps your coffee warm at a constant, very hot temp but not continue to burn it. Once you unplug it, it turns everything off.If you want it to shut off on its own or make a timed pot, you will have to buy a timer which can be purchased at most retailers like lowes or home depot and you can get a basic one for very cheap under 20 bucks.

There is on switches for the two hot plates, but no on switch for the coffee maker itself. You have to prime the system when you first purchase it, then it is always ready to go, just poor in the water and within 10 seconds you have hot coffee being made. If you are not planning on using it you can just unplug it but you will have to wait longer when you want coffee.

Harold, Yes the light will stay on when the coffee maker is off. I use the bold setting all of the time and it stays on. Also if you use the 1-4 cup setting (which heats the water twice for a smaller pot) it will also stay on until you push it to turn it off. I hope this helps.

Yes, the time display will also be turned off because all power is turned off when the Belkin Socket turns off. The best solution is to buy a kitchen timer for less than $4 that will remind you to turn off the heating element on the coffee maker.

Coffee from a percolator is supposed to be a little stronger because unlike a drip coffee pot, where the hot water just drips through the grinds once, the percolator circulates the hot water through the grinds over and over. It is not like espresso, however, where the water is forced through the grinds with pressure, causing a very intense coffee. This Presto coffee pot, in my opinion, does not make the good strong coffee I expect from a percolator. I was sorely disappointed with it.

My Keurig B60 does the same thing. I can't seem to set the clock anymore it keeps jumping to the next setting every time I press the small brew button for "H". It shuts off and on automatically and when I get home from work I have to go through the same run-around to make a cup of coffee. I think I'll call customer service as well. This is the second one I have had. The first one wouldn't go through the priming. that was a bad start.

This is my second coffee maker like this, I have one in each home. I have never had the problem you are having with either one. A defective unit perhaps?

No, while it's annoying, it's a safety feature. My husband just keeps it hot all day by doing this: after it's been on for an hour and a half or so (anywhere shy of the 2 hr shut-off time), he turns the coffeemaker off to reset the timer and then immediately turns it back on to keep the coffee warm for another 2 hours. So if we're heading to church on Sunday morning, we turn it off and back on just before we go so it's still hot when we get home. This is the only way around the shut-off feature.

It does not turn off automatically, but it does make a real nice single cup of coffee. I also use it for just hot water for a single cup of tea.

Hello, This coffee maker is "NOT AUTO Turn-On & Off" And, I not recommended. Thermal Fuse shorted for reason of inner electrical wires are chafe with heater tube.
