[Electronics-Talk] Accessible coffee makers

[Jude DaShiell]

electronic coffee makers in my experience do not provide accessible
clocks and accessible timers to have the coffee start making at a
certain hour.  Detents when turning knobs would work so hour and minute
could be set by clicks with hours starting at midnight and minutes
starting at 0 once the coffee maker was unplugged and plugged in again.
No braille or speech necessary.
