We now use an electric percolator so no. We had a little drip coffee pot that just bit the dust, but we never set the timer either. I used to because dh and I used to take turns. When some day it was magically decided it was just going to fall on me, I stopped doing it. During the summer if dh wants coffee and I'm not up, he makes it. If I'm up, I'll make it. If he doesn't want to bother, I make it when I get up.
The percolator is a pain in the neck but boy does the coffee come out HOT and I love that.
