Keeps turning off while I'm pouring hot water into a Chemex, which can take ~6-8 minutes for larger batches. Any idea how to prevent this?

Might depend on how you perform the pour over. I have noticed if you do not pour for like a minute, the device will turn off. I usually make (2) 12 oz cups of coffee from my Chemex (44g coffee, 750-800g water). I have forgotten to turn on the device while pouring, but I have figured that as long as I measured the right amount of water in the kettle that I can pour all the water out without affecting the flavor. Also, I pour just a little bit up front to let the coffee bloom for like 30 seconds but then proceed pouring a steady stream which helps keep the scale active. Sorry for the essay but I hope this helps. Might depend on how you perform the pour over. I have noticed if you do not pour for like a minute, the device will turn off.

We were told that sometimes heat can make it turn off or mess up the reading. So that might be it.

Hi Pete,Once the heating pot heats up the water it automatically shuts off and will not come back on until you manually set it.

This turns itself off when the water runs out so it doesn't run the heating element when there is no water to evaporate. This is a good thing. Nothing to be worried about. I find that a full tank of water lasts one whole night on the high setting (avg. 8 to 9 hrs.) and on the low setting will use only about 2/3 of the tank. You might try the low setting if it really bothers you that it turns itself off. Hope this helps!

Mine does not shut off either even when the water is too hot. I would return it but I had discarded the box already.

I have run mine as long a 4 hrs and it has never shut down. Send it back and get another one.

Auto off doesn't kick in until its boiled too long, in my opinion. I usually flip it off before the auto does

I don't really know because I've always turned it off after an hour or so, but I've never had a problem. This has been a dependable little coffee maker without all the bells and whistles, which is exactly what I wanted.

It's locked on, but not a toggle on/off. For example - if it's unplugged and I push the lever then plug it in it is on and can't be turned off. So I think a timer would work. That said the brewing time is so fast, and it doesn't stay super hot for very long, it is almost easier to just turn it on when you're ready.

It shuts off automatically after 1 hour. I don't think you can override that.

No, mine stays on for the entire brew timt.. you might reset your stay warm feature for at least an hour stay warm time

According to the manual, it has an auto-shutdown function that turns itself off after 12 hours of non use. My kids pause video games and leave the room for hours on end, and it never shuts itself off. Sounds like your unit has a issue.

I'm not sure why that happens to you. I know that it turns off when the water is gone. I have three machines and none of them do what you are saying. I would just contact the company.

make sure you didn't turn off the button on the side of the pot. That's the only thing I can think of. Hope it helps.

Yes, this one automatically shuts off when it reaches a boil. No other option, it could not be on after boiling.

I've read somewhere else that when they stop making steam, you should turn it off, and empty the tank thoroughly. Then place a newly filled bottle and turn it on. I haven't had a problem with mine, but I did remember that from other reviews.

I have not had that shut off problem but remember it has two tanks. It will run until both tanks are empty.

have no idea - plugged in wall...check! turn timer on... check! water turns to steam within minutes.. check! possible problem with your machine and may have to send back
