Bodum coffee maker’s clock and programming reset every time it is unplugged or briefly loses power.

Note: Many Bodum coffee makers do not include a backup battery; losing settings when unplugged can be normal behavior.

Steps to try:

• Check manual: Confirm whether your specific Bodum model is designed to retain settings during power loss.
• Avoid unplugging: Leave the coffee maker plugged into a surge-protected outlet to maintain clock and program settings.
• Surge protection: Use a quality surge protector to prevent power spikes that can corrupt memory.

If your model is supposed to retain settings and does not, the control board’s backup circuit may have failed and would require board replacement.
