How long do I have before my coffee maker catches fire?
I'm in a habit of unplugging, but for some reason on the drive to grandmother's house for T-Day, I felt like I had forgotten. Now, I was there for about 2 hours after making the coffee and never remember it making any brewing or suction sounds (which it tends to do) during that time, and another site said it takes about an hour for burning to happen. Nothing was burning to my knowledge. Should I drive back home tonight, or should it be okay until tomorrow evening? I was thinking of having someone drive by to check, but no one besides people with me has a key, anyway. I brewed coffee 6 hours ago and have been gone for 4. Wouldn't it too late by now, anyway?
This does not turn off automatically. I have this: http://www.blackanddeckerappliances.com/p-25-5-cup...
To be very specific, I drank it so the metal pot is empty, but the wet grounds are still inside.
My aunt also just told me the pot might bust, but when I told her it was metal, she said it should be fine; apparently her mom left hers on for a whole week while on vacation at one point.
I've also been reminded I would've smelled the coffee or metal burning at some point, since I was still there 2 hours later.
I don't know.

I doubt it'll catch fire, but your house will be full of the stench of burnt coffee.
