How does a programmable coffee maker work?

I need a very detailed description of how coffee makers with programmable timers actually work. I need enough detail and instructions that I could build one. Links with pictures of the inner workings of a coffee maker would be helpful as well but not necessary. Best answer will go to the instructions that I could possibly build a programmable coffee maker from!

What is this scum in my coffee maker?

I clean my drip style coffee maker by putting vinegar and water thru it, followed by a couple pots of plain water to rinse. It still has some kind of film on top of the coffee or tea.

I was told by a friend of mine that using two filters in my drip coffee maker will make my coffee stronger. Is this true? His reasoning was that the two filters slows the flow of water and the grounds get to soak longer. But my brain keeps telling me that the more you filter something, the weaker it will be! Which is right?
I’ll leave this question up for another day before actually selecting the best answer. No one has actually given me an answer… Suggestion: Try your own test and let me know the results… if someone were to do that… I’d be forced to select them as the best answer.
