I still have the old fashioned type that needs to be filled and turned on when desired. Early morning issue that has only happen once, so far. Put the grounds in the basket and went to fill the water. Turned on the pot and when to finish morning routine. When I returned to get a cuppa, I was shown that one needs to put the basket into the maker. I have a hard time laughing at my stupidity and I did not want tea at that time.
That was an old trick on Navy submarines, get the trainee talking while you load the coffee maker, turn it on and hand them the pot. I just stuck it in the proper location and the guy training me looked disgusted. No mess for the trainee to clean up.

Mine won’t do that. It has a valve on the bottom of the drip cup. You do have to put the pot back each time, tho.

Mine won’t brew without the carafe underneath but on occasion I’ve forgotten to lower the lid
