From doing some research and reading this group, I'm changing my mind.
Yes, it can happen. :)
Yes, I'm low income, but it looks like the cheaper coffee makers, even
if they do reach the right temperature ( and few do ), are unreliable
anyway.
The Technivorm is looking more attractive all the time. It reaches the
right temp and is said to be reliable.
So I'm thinking more in terms of what can I sell around here, to get the
money to buy one. I am low income but have been a packrat all my life,
and I have things like books and other things around here that I can
sell.
And if I can find work soon, that will sure help. I can justify buying
it on credit then. My credit is fine, I'm just low income at present.

I built one with parts from Home Depot, so that's no longer an issue.
The wall plug ones are generally more like clock timers. I put together
one that's a spring wound 20 amp switch. I can set it for 15 minutes and
my machine will brew and then shut off. It works great.
