Being able to remotely make sure the coffee machine isn't powered is the true game changer.

Having the lights turn off automatically when there's nobody home is also nice though.

Coffeemakers usually turn themselves off? My $12 one does.

Some have heater that keeps it warm indefinitely. We had mechanical timer for that one in our old job.

Well, it was reason why it was installed, but what actually was used for is that we set up coffee to brew before leaving work and the timer turned it on right before people started coming to the office so we were welcomed by smell of fresh coffee

There's an EU law that actually dictates that all coffee machines should turn off.

But I still don't trust it. I need to do the Japanese train conductor pointing and vocalising thing when turning stuff off when I leave the house for a longer time =)
