last fall I won one of these
Bits Limited - Going Green Made Easy. Home of the Smart Strip.
from this site.

I have my TV set as the control outlet since it's only a couple of watts when powered off. my PS3 and other crap is plugged into it as well controlled by the TV. Works great but isn't the same as 100% off.

If you're the only user of the computer network I'd go with one on it with the main computer being the control. Due to multiple wireless devices in the house my router, modem, printer all stay up 24/7. printer at least goes to sleep.

for my coffee maker I have something like this that I found locally for 1/2 this price
http://www.amazon.com/GE-52149-Handy...ds=plug+switch

Turn it on press start on the coffee maker. 12 minutes later the coffee maker is done and I turn it off, no constant current keeping the clock set.
