Like all coffee makers. If they plug in for electricity, they have a hazard of burning out. I ENJOY my coffee, I have several brands in variable price ranges. The manufactures always build them to be fool proof. In other words, accidentally left on. And yet not burn the apartment down.
Primarily they are built with a heat element. Just like a stove top. And a micro switch in the hot plate(If your model has continuous heating) to switch on when the coffee/water needs heating, and switch off if the water is hot enough or is gone or the pot has been removed. When this micro switch malfunctions this is what can cause the hazard. They're all safe or they wouldn't be selling them as they have designed them.
Good luck

In a dorm room situation ANYTHING can be made to blow up. Keep all electrical items away from college students unless it is an iPod or a cell phone.
Seriously
It uses the same principal as a cheapo coffee maker without the big basket of left over coffee grounds. The main difference is the "pods" with the double price coffee and filter in them already.
