[Electronics-Talk] Accessible coffee makers

[Pamela Dominguez]

Well, I've never seen a need for a coffeemaker to have a clock or a timer. 
I just put up the coffee when I want it.  Pam.

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.
