Does the machine turn off automatically when preferred brewing is done?

Yes, the machine turns off when all the water has run through it into the pitcher (half full). I then fill it again to make a whole pitcher to chill.

Mine is a little over a year old and does not automatically shut off. It does brew a wonderful pot of coffee though and I simply turn it off when pouring my first cup.

Not sure I understand the question. The auto shut off only activates when the coffee maker has finished brewing. And then you are free to make as many pots of coffee as you want.

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 does not beep when done. Brews very quickly and you can hear it brewing and will know when it is done as it will go silent. Will stay heating for two hours and then shut off. Love this machine!

No. After reaching the boiling point it automaticslly switches off as do all the electric kettles I have experienced.

Yes, you can do that. The other option that you have is to simply press the carafe (or single serve) button when you have the amount you desire (just a moment before actually to give the machine time to respond) and the brewing will stop then too.

No, I don't believe it does, just has a on/off switch. There's a red one that's programmable that does have an auto shut off http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-43673-12cup-Coffeemaker/dp/B0093DODJE/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hg_3

Well, so far it seems you have received answers covering all of the bases. One consensus recommendation surely works: Push the off button. That being said and true, our machine lights blink left to right when the brewing cycle is finished, and the machine is in its off mode. Pushing the off button on our machine simply confirms all systems are off. Good luck.

Yes, the brewer turns off automatically when the reservoir is empty. I often brew different size cups of coffee. The reservoir holds 8 ounces easily, 13 if you fill it to the rim. So you can brew 13 ounces or less each time. For very large cups, I fill the reservoir, start the brewing and add the rest of the water to the reservoir either before it finishes brewing or allow it to run a second cycle. For very large cups, you can use two pods of coffee. My normal coffee cup is a 16 ounce cup. If I brew 13 ounces of coffee and add some creamer, the cup is full. If you want a stronger cup of coffee, you may want to try the refillable coffee filters (Ecopad) in this machine. Yes, the brewer turns off automatically when the reservoir is empty.

This unit was purchased for my church. The burners/warming elements have to be shut off manually. It is designed to be left plugged in, to keep the water warm at all times. At my church we come in on Sunday mornings and plug it in for 20 minutes or so. That heats the water in the tank and then it is ready to brew a pot. It's a great machine, but does not have an automatic shut off.

no, but the button to turn off is on the front of the machine so it is easy to see so you won't make the mistake of leaving it on.

I press the program button, then I punch in the hour and minute I want it to start brewing. Usually 30 minutes before I wake I set mine. One the time is punched in I push the "Auto On" button.

It most certainly does! It does turn off some time after the coffee is done. It seems completely unnecessary with a thermal pot, but many thermal coffee makers have this "feature".

I agree with the answers given by George Z. and Ron: automatic turn-off feature after 15 minutes might make leaving the machine "on" a moot point; glass-lined carafe getting cold overnight and then getting hit with VERY hot water automatically; no opportunity to quickly rinse the carafe with warm water before brewing. I would set up what I could the night before: put the filter into the basket, grind the beans and put them into a sealed baggie, but I wouldn't do the timer thing.

Yes, it shuts off automatically. You can use different size cups, but there is a limit. I love the machine. The only drawback is if you like strong coffee. Then you have to use two pods at a time. Best deal all around

No it does not. But I use two of these units at work as I have offices at two locations. After I make a pot if I know I am going to be out in the field for a bit I turn it off and then 3 or 4 hours later when I return I just turn it back on and in 10 minutes your fresh coffee is hot again rather than making a whole new pot.
