My next coffee maker...
...will have an emptisensometer. When the pot is empty it will automatically turn off the coffee pot so a layer of baked coffee residue stronger than space shuttle tiles is not left in the bottom of the pot. When there is coffee left in the pot it will not start brewing, thereby preventing coffee brew overflow from cascading down the electrical appliance itself as well as the counter, cabinets and floor.

The advanced model will have a voice synthesizer for the latter case that will say something along the lines of "Hey, dumb-ass! Empty the damned pot first!"

How about another voice that chips up when the pot has been emptied and put back empty ...
"Ahem, haven't you forgotten something?"

That's brilliant, Jim and Rob!
Of course, it'd probably be as effective as the Bathroom Admonitions. Assholes are assholes regardless of what manner of shaming them we try to do.
Selfish bastards.

And don't brew when no coffeepot at all is on the burner.

Margi, I was looking for enhancements for the home brewer. I'm notorious for brewing a pot of coffee into a half pot of coffee.
Heh.
