cherrybim- you also CANNOT benefit from any melocho that a GOY does on shabbos if it is done EXCLUSIVELY for the jew and told to do so by the jew. when , sometimes, one hints to a non-jew that is ‘dark in the room” to have the lights put on- the non-jew also benefits from this as he needs the light too.
whatever the rule is for non-jews, it is not comparable to the question at hand.the coffee-maker is an inert thing and is much more comparable to the sprinkler mentioned or to the light timer. I welcome anyone out there who knows about any teshuvos on this.
