I bought a £10 Tesco coffee machine in November, which uses an electronic on/off push button, rather than a mechanical switch. I'm the only coffee drinker here and make myself two coffees, drink one then later go back for the second one. About one third of the times I return for the second, it has turned itself off perhaps allowing to second coffee to cool.
Tesco agree it shouldn't do that and have agreed to replace it, but I have spotted reviews which suggest it does this. I never bothered reading the instructions and threw them away long since, but why would it be designed to switch off at all?
