Many do, a surprising amount do not, including some models from brands you would recognize. Edit: In the US, for sure. Like most of the ones on Amazon right no

Edit: In the US, for sure. Like most of the ones on Amazon right now that are under $30.
- maccard 5y agoAny coffee machine sold in the EU in the last 7/8 years is required to have a 40 minute off switch.
- ericbarrett 5y agoI'll often drink several cups over 3-4 hours; a 40 minute timer seems far too short.
- lb1lf 5y agoBut surely, after several hours whatever liquid remains on the brewer hardly tastes like coffee anymore?
- ericbarrett 5y agoTakes a while to "burn" good coffee, probably about 12 hours on heat.
- spookthesunset 5y agoAs long as the caffeine remains in tact, all’s good!
- semireg 5y agoHave you tried turning it off and on again?
- ericbarrett 5y agoNow it's cold and I have to wait 20 minutes for it to warm up again, or use the microwave. I just want my coffee man!
- maccard 5y agoIt flicks off every 40 minutes. Turning it on after 40 minutes will keep it warm as the hot plate has residual heat that keeps it piping hot for about 5-10 minutes fter it switches off.
- Isthatablackgsd 5y agoAgreed, that is way too short for me. I found 2hrs or 4 hours is the reasonable amount to cut off. I wonder EU have that 40 min cut off is due to their high voltage/amperage?
- tyingq 5y agoI'm assuming energy savings, as the cutoff is 5 minutes if the device has an insulated carafe.
- maccard 5y agoJust decant into a thermos in that case.
- tomatotomato37 5y agoAre those the same coffee makers sold by foreign companies that declare bankruptcy the moment a lawsuit takes place?
- martinmunk 5y agoYes. And I hate that so so much. I inherited an older Moccamaster, which does not have the timeout, and the newer one went straight to storage. Unfortunately the old button without a timer is not sold as a spare anymore, or I would have "downgraded" the newer machine.
- outworlder 5y agoThere are coffee machines that pour coffee straight into thermos. I personally can't stand the taste of 'cooked' coffee. I'll grind and make another mug when needed in an espresso coffee maker. Doesn't take long at all. Mine is manual but you can have automatic machine to shave off even more time.
