Should this coffee marker be powered off when not in use? This will be used at a church, only once a week.

We turn off & on with every use. Even perfection may have accidents. If all your water boiled out, etc and you needed your machine, what then. We have ours plugged into a dedicated serge protector which we flip on and off. Works good for us.

I have left it on while going to church 2 plus hours. I would not recommend it as the fire department does not recommend leaving electric units on once you leave the house. Definitely have smoke alarms if left on overnight.

Hi. I am using it with a coffe (Keurig) machine. It works fine so far. I understand that it will work well for items that are not dependant of a power source 24/7. Meaning that if you use it for short periods of time and then turn off, this will eork for you. At least that has been my experience.

The instructions say that that is what the "Auto" on position is for but a little further down the page they also recommend turning the unit off when it is left unattended. I personally always put the unit in the off position, to avoid possible issue incase a real idiot bends over it wearing a neck tie and accidentally activates it, or spills liquid into it and sparks an electrical fire in a bin filled with finely shredded paper and paper dust. Odds of it happening, very unlikely, but have you ever read the Darwin Awards?

Ours is in our camper, so the use is intermittent, but so far we have not had any problems with the clock or anything else. We really like this coffee maker.

You can put it out and relight it any time. This is perfect for coffee during a power outage!

You will notice no increase in your power bill. When you leave for more than one night, turn the switch off in the back. Just be sure to turn it back on when you get home or you will have no hot water for that first cup of coffee. This is the best coffee pot I have ever had - and I've gone thru a bunch of them.

No, we have to turn it off. That is what my husband says, he is the keeper of the coffee.

The other answers are correct. The coffee maker is essentially always on when it's plugged into the wall. The two switches are for the heater pads. This is a great coffee make and makes 10-12 cups of coffee in about 1minute.

There is no problem with once week use however if left on some of the water will evaporate so that the first use will give only a partial pot. To force out existing water pour fresh water in and start as normal. Unplugging the unit for the week is the best way. There is no switch for the water reservoir.

No, the two hour timer is a built in fire safety feature and cannot be turned off. Most folks, including me, would consider two hour old coffee as burnt and would toss it :-)

It's probably because of the cord. The same warning is on my toaster and it says the cord contains lead and advised to wash your hands after touching. So coffee brewed in it should be fine, just don't lick the cord! The same warning is on Christmas tree light cords, artificial Christmas trees, etc., because they contain lead.

Sara-it should only run for what a normal brewing cycle should be, that light will never go off now, this was the first sign of the problems I had with this coffee maker. Good luck.

I find that it stops brewing... Then I would remove the grounds...and maybe occasionally it will kind of sound like it's trying to rebrew but actually is just reheating... I personally think you wouldn't want to leave it plug in all day or it would taste old and burnt... Hope this helps!

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.

Like my previous Keurig I leave this tuned on, that way it is ready to make coffee when I want it. I believe it is designed to be left on and the switch is for use if you are going to be away for an extended period of time. Check the manual!

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.
