The point about coffee makers has been addressed although you don't want to acknowledge it.
On my coffee machine, the on light has failed, so sometimes I don't realise it is on and waste electricity. Had mine been made more recently, it would switch off. A sensible rule.
Why didn't the manufacturer design it to switch off ?
