Is there any way to turn off the clock part of the coffee maker?
It might be worth while buying an outlet switch

Instead of pulling the plug every day because over time you can wear an outlet out, there are two types, one that just plugs in to an existing outlet and one that if you own your house you swap the outlet out for one that has a switch built in, if it was my choice I'd then put in a double gang outlet box so you end up with two unswitched and one switched outlet.
It seems like someone makes a power strip that shuts the outlet off once the load drops past a set point, it would of course need to be reset to turn back on so I'm not sure if someone has made a work around for that or if a home built device would be able to be built, I'm thinking about this because 5 watts is the same as the LED light that I'm sitting under that is lighting up my entire living room right now.
