Putting a clock in there so you can set it up the night before and have it ready when you wake up seems reasonable, but that doesn't require any kind of connectivity.

You could do that electromechanically, but a microcontroller and relay is cheaper nowadays.

After my last coffee machine died after only a couple of months, I've decided they need the barest minimum of potential failure points possible. My current one just has a single analog switch and a heavily insulated carafe instead of a hotplate, and it's just been better in every way.

It's some old coffee machine my grandparents got for free at some point but never used, and my grandmother sent it to me after hearing that mine had broken. It had a plain box and I don't remember what it said. Let me see if I can find model information on the machine itself... Ok, it's a Gevalia KA-865MW.

Can always just get an outlet timer. There's all kinds.

How long does a coffee machine run? I literally wash my face and go to the bathroom right after I set up mine. And the coffee is ready by the time I come to the kitchen agaon6

When I was in college I'd start the coffee machine, hop in the shower, and then I'd have a nice warm cup waiting for me when I got out every morning
