My question is: we don't like the 2hr stop mode. Sometimes we want a cup of coffee later on. Can you adjust or turn on again?

No way to adjust. Sometimes I push the "brew" button again if it hasn't been off for very long, but usually we just reheat the coffee in the microwave.

If I am understanding your question, the machine does stop after two hours. This is not adjustable. you can turn the machine on again but it will take some time for it to warm the coffee left in the pot. I find it does cool off rather quickly, but I just pop it in the microwave....not the best as fresh brew but it is the choice with this machine.

the 2 hour shutdown is a safety feature. (darn lawyers) Just hit the brew button to turn the pot warmer back on or microwave a cup later.

Sure. I often make less than a full pot, but there is no "2-cup" or "4-cup" setting. Just use less coffee and less water.

We have never had to push the start button more than once in all of the years we have had brew stations, and we have had about five machines total. Ours have, as one should expect, brewed quickly no matter how many cups we are making and without the process stopping at any time during the brew. I think you should contact Hamilton Beach and ask for a replacement. I hope this helps you.

Yes. After 2 hours it will shut off. If you shut it off manually won't take more than a minute for next cup.

I can only surmise that since this coffee pot does not have an automatic turn off it is prudent to unplug it when not in use. I have noticed the on/off switch is not lighted therefore it is possible to overlook the fact it is still on.

See edit further down... I JUST looked through the menus when I got this question... I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but under the "System Settings" menu, there's a menu called "Tool" that has a couple of settings that look like they might be used as timers ("Power Off," etc.). OK, edit... Had a chance to try it - only tried it with FM, but since it basically just totally powers down the whole unit, it should work for all functions. Using the above instructions, and using the "Power Off" menu, you can set the timer in 10-minute increments, up to 120 minutes. When done, it powers off the entire unit; to get it to turn back on, you must press and HOLD the right-most button. It was a little disconcerting when I tried to use the "Menu" button to turn it back on, and nothing happened... Once the timer has turned the unit off, the timer is reset to "0" -i.e., the timer is not active. Because of the way you set it, I was afraid it might stay set on a 10-minute turn-off until I went back in and zeroed it, but that's not the case. If you want the timer again, you have to reset it, each time. I also do not agree that it's not worth the very low price. I find the sound pretty good, the volume is good, etc. I'd like to know what some people thought they were going to get for such a low price... Then again, they may have simply received a bad unit... . .

To answer your question there is an automatic shut-off that you can program from 1 hour up to 4 hours. I believe you can heat it up again by simply pressing the start switch, but I'm not 100% sure about that. We drink coffee in the morning and again in the evening but I don't reheat the coffee. I just measure enough for the morning and then rinse and reload for the evening. That way I'm guaranteed fresh coffee each time!

only if after 2 hrs and it kicks off and you turn it back on. or right at the end of the brew.

I have never set the timer since I received the coffeemaker, but I think you simply set the time you want it to brew (that's how the other work). At the moment I can't use it--they are fragile. It was knocked over onto to the floor and several things happened that made it inoperable. I have fixed one myself, but it leaks water now and I will have to fix that because sending it to the place in Memphis is not worth it. I will never buy one of these again.

No, while it's annoying, it's a safety feature. My husband just keeps it hot all day by doing this: after it's been on for an hour and a half or so (anywhere shy of the 2 hr shut-off time), he turns the coffeemaker off to reset the timer and then immediately turns it back on to keep the coffee warm for another 2 hours. So if we're heading to church on Sunday morning, we turn it off and back on just before we go so it's still hot when we get home. This is the only way around the shut-off feature.

The only solution to this problem that I can think of is that you may have another setting on at the same time. For example, if you've set the auto brew to brew at a specific time in the future, and you've pushed that button, telling it to brew at that future time, it won't brew if you press the brew button. You must cancel the other command for it to obey the brew command. Hope this helps. I really like this coffee maker. I've had it for about a year now and I haven't had any problems.

Sorry I am not sure what you mean. I bought this coffee maker for my daughter and she loves it. When you pull the coffee pot out before it is done it will pause. Hope this helps.

Mine won't stay on after I brewed the 2nd pot. Any idea how to get it work again? I've unplugged it, tried all 5 settings, tried different amounts of water.... Did I get a bad Breville? I loved my old Breville.

It seems like all the settings up til about 7. I've learned to adapt to it. After a while you discover it's not a really big deal.

A blind person can do it. The grind setting comes up a 4 default when you plug it in. If you do not use the timer to brew coffee the next morning you will just need to use three of the buttons. The "On" button to turn on and off and to get another hour of hot coffee (it turns off after one hour as a safety feature) The "Mill" button which turns off the grinder for use with already ground coffee. the "Grind" button to change the time the coffee grinder stays on and thus the fineness of the ground coffee. Yes it is worth the money. It is the easies to use mill and brew on the market and the easiest to clean and the quietest and the cheapest to buy and you do not need to buy paper filter. It makes the best coffee too. Email me at samova1@verizon.net if you have any more questions about this coffee maker. I have had one for the last 10 years and I marvel each morning on how great the coffee tastes. This is the #1 best selling mill & brew in the United States and has been for the last 15 or 20 years. Nothing beats it for price, ease of use, ease of cleaning, noise etc. It does have a few weak points like the latch on the top cover is plastic and breaks a lot but I can tell you how to keep it from breaking and if it does break the parts are cheap and it is easy to repair. I can tell even a child how to fix it if it breaks. Email me or Call Sam at 540-869-1741 and I will help you at my cost plus shipping for parts. And I will give you free advise on how to care for this machine and tell you what coffee beans to buy. Call Sam at 540-869-1741 I am an expret on this machine. I can fix it in the dark I think.......

You CAN switch the unit to untimed mode. Instructions for setting this can be found in the product user guide here: www.learningresources.com/text/pdf/6965_webguide.pdf
