The stove I don’t get, but the coffee machine needs it so that you can set it to run 5 minutes before your alarm goes off in the morning. Getting a coffee machine with a timer recently has revolutionized my morning TBH.
I get that can help some people if coffee is part of your morning ritual. I never did coffee as a first first thing, setting it up the machine and then going about getting ready was always how I’ve done it. But I totally get, if you need it first thing a timer is great.
In my life personally, still can’t think of any appliance off the top of my head that needs to know what time it is.
Yeah, that’s absolutely fair enough to be honest. I’m the kind of guy that likes to sleep in as much as possible and take my mornings real slow, so cutting off the extra 10 minutes that it used to take me to make coffee… sweet.
My partners’ family’s fridge has a clock in it though, and I’ll never understand that. I think coffee machine is where I draw the line.

What!? How does it take you 10min? I weigh, grind with a manual grinder and brew with a manual-lever espresso maker…it’s about as slow as it can possibly be and I still don’t take 10min to make my morning espresso.
It takes me 10 minutes to do anything when I first wake up in the morning, coffee or no, to be fair. I’m not a morning person. I also manually grind my beans (using one of those older hopper-and-box grinders), and do a V60 pourover with water slightly cooler than boiling (somewhere between 80-90°C, based off vibes I don’t have a temperature controlled kettle).
Or at least, I did, before I switched to a machine. Still do the V60 later in the day, tho, it’s a nice little ritual.
