## Discrepancy

CREW REPORTED A SMOKE ODOR IN THE AFT CABIN.  AN EMERGENCY WAS NOT DECLARED AND CREW LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND AFT GALLEY COFFEEMAKER HOT PLATE ON WITH NO BEVERAGE IN THE POT, WHICH CAUSED THE ODOR.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED CABIN AREAS IAW AMM AND OPS CHECKED GOOD.  ACFT IS GOOD FOR SERVICE.
