Abstract
An automatic drip coffee maker (10) includes a timer circuit (42) for providing a preselected 'start' time of day at which an activation/deactivation circuit (40) will activate the automatic drip coffee maker and a 'stop' time of day, independent of said start time of day at which the activation/deactivation circuit (40) will deactivate the automatic drip coffee maker and prevent further reactivation thereof. A 'next-day-reset' switch (58) allows manual resetting so that the activation/deactivation repeats the start/stop cycle at the same preselected 'start', 'stop' times of day on the next day. An auto access button allows creation of an artificial start signal for initiating the cycle immediately.
