I have a cheaper coffee pot maker (inherited and makes good coffee)

want to buy a timer that works like the built in kind that is always
set say to 2 hours and each time I plug in the coffee pot, it counts
down from 2 hours or whatever I have it last set at. I don't want to
have to reset it each time I use the coffee pot. Does something like
this exist as a plug in? I looked so far on line and in one or two
stores without luck.


I have had one for years and years and was going to go and see who made it
so I could tell you but at the moment I can't find it so maybe I should say
I _had_ one. In any case, Belkin makes something that might work but it
doesn't have a 2-hour period, just ½, 3, and 6 hours. Cheap enough though:

Thanks John. This looks like the closest to what I have in mind. I
guess I tried in too many words that some didn't understand me. Your
timer says it better... I want a power timerthat is on-demand instead
of on a schedule. I wish it had a 2 hour instead of 3 hour (like my
old coffee pot) but still this is basically what I have in mind. Now
just to ask for more, is there something just like this but instead of
1/2, 3 and 6 hours, allows for varied amount of time that you can set
it and it stays at that amount until you make it different ... still
tho as a on demand timer like this one ? Thanks John again.

Not quite so simple as the first one I proposed nor as cheap but this might do:
