I have a cheaper coffee pot maker (inherited and makes good coffee)
that I like but it doesn't have a built in timer like my old one. I
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:

Search for a 24 hour lamp (vacation) timer. I use them on lamps or a
radio while on vacation.

I have a couple of timers similar to this. Get a brand with a 24 hour
cycle.

Actually, I don't think I've ever seen anything on the market like that.
Way back in the 80s I designed and built such a unit for the office
coffee pot. But, this one was for 10 hours, so that the 1st person in
the morning, hit the button, which turned on power for 10 hours.
Subsequent button pushed did nothing. After the 10 hours, the pot shut
off. Other departments wanted one, but had to build it themselves. It
would be easy to change it to 2 hours or anything in between. I don't
know where the schematic is now, however, if you are interested in a
build-it-yourself unit, I'll look. It does require some electronic
skills to build it.

You go to weird stores-- I think they are $8-10 in every hardware
store I've ever been in.

Harbor Freight has them for $5-
http://www.harborfreight.com/lamp-an...mer-40148.html

On/off as many times a day as there are 15 minute increments.

I've had a $10 one running my coffee pot for 10 years--- that's about
5 $10 coffee pots.

The HF ones have been running my grow lights for 3-4 years .

Gosh.

Automatically turns devices On/Off

Manual constant ON override switch

Program repeats daily

Two grounded outlets

Slide pin construction that avoids lost pins

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:

Yep that's basically what I have in mind tho it may not be convenient
to operate but you understood me perfectly. Appreciate your replies
and thank you !!!!!
