Excellent coffee; super hot even in carafe; nice look and features. well built.

Excellent coffee maker. Love it. Very pleased with my purchase. Will absolutely buy again. I've long wanted a thermal carafe coffee maker but held back because of the 'cold coffee' problem. No more! I set the delay timer and it makes super hot coffee in the am that is still super hot even once it hits the carafe (which is not preheated). I am amazed. This coffee is super hot. What I didn't know is how much BETTER even cheap or bitter coffee tastes when made as hot as this does. It's like premium coffee all the time. I took other reviewer's advice and bought the Cuisinart GTF-B gold tone filter to go with this (it doesn't come with one) because the bottom of the filter is also mesh as well as the sides (that way if i grind super fine and make a full pot it doesn't overflow the filter - which can happen with any coffee maker). This coffee maker is easy to use and looks super nice and well constructed. The water fill is on the top on the left side and the coffee filter and holder go into the side on the right. When I first tried it I forgot to put the filter and holder back into the slot on the right side and left an open space ...oops, if you do this water will pour out the right side. Quickly corrected that and now I won't forget. But truly the best coffee I've tasted in a long time. The first cup out of the carafe is a little too hot for me so I add milk and stir to cool. I've never had a drip maker be this good. And it stays hot in the carafe literally for hours. at least 2. maybe 4. maybe longer. Oh, and this remembers everything when the power goes out - time, delay settings, etc. I haven't tested that for long, but I use something else in the same outlet and occasionally trips the breaker and when I turn it back on this is ready to go, a really nice feature.

Simple to use and makes a really good pot of coffee.

A great little coffee maker. I like the both the water reservoir and the filter/coffee tray are on the sides. Also, the reservoir is removable so that you can fill it at the kitchen sink. The thermal carafe seals tightly to hold in the heat and does a great job of keeping the coffee hot for at least two hours without the need of a hot plate and which can lead to bitter tasting coffee. It otherwise works much like any other coffee maker and is not as fancy as it first appears so it is easy to operate. It includes an option for filtering your water, but we filter our water directly from the faucet so the filter option doesn't get used, eliminating the only minor inconvenience to the whole thing. However, I will say that good tasting water is a necessity for good tasting coffee, so if you don't already filter your water, you will find the filter option that comes with the machine very helpful. One major piece of advice I will give is to clean it thoroughly before using. I did rinse it once, but the first pot still had a vague metallic flavor. However, after giving the machine two rinses, one with white vinegar and the second with clean water, we now get as perfect and smooth a pot of coffee as I've ever had.

So much better.

I had a glass carafe Mr. Coffee that was great, but a fruit fly problem made me throw it away. The little jerks would fly into the water reservoir via the top of holes in the back. Gross. This new coffee maker has a separate water reservoir that is not only easy to fill up, but easy to clean thoroughly, and tiny fruit flies can't get in there. Sold! It's really a pain to try and clean the water reservoir on other machines. I don't know about uou , but I like my coffee made with clean water. The coffee this thing makes tastes better too. It's smooth and delicious. I did run vinegar and then several pots of just water before using it though. That is highly recommended. It's also awesome that the stainless steel carafe doesn't get hot. If one of my kids accidentally touches it, they won't get burned. Definitely glad I got this one.

Here’s the Fix for the Leaking Problem

the leaking issue is both “user error” and Design Flaw. Remove the unit that holds the coffee grinds, Remove the carafe, gently move the plastic rod that the carafe pushes when u place it on the machine, look inside the opening where the coffee loader goes, You will see a nipple moving, it’s attached to the rod you’re pushing. That nipple is what sends the brewed coffee into the carafe. If you over load the loader with grinds, the grinds spill out and clogg that pathway leaving the nipple in the open position. Using the water filter pad helps prevent the grinds from splashing. It also filters out some water impurities. i purchased a pack of 20 and change the pad every month. The user error is overloading the loader if you like strong coffee.. The design flaw is that some more sophisticated brewers have a screen in that area to prevent the nipple from clogging. If you’ve never experienced a leaking issue it’s still a good idea to clean this area every month depending on frequency of use. Of Course! “ UN PLUG THE MACHINE BEFORE RUNNING UNDER WATER TO CLEAN IT “. It’s a great coffee maker and with proper maintenance will last many years.

This is a very good product. I am please and I do recommend

I am a happy and pleased customer. This coffee maker makes hot hot coffee! I've seen other say that it doesn't, well mine does. I followed the instructions and washed all the recommended parts before using. And I would recommend this to anyone. Now, if you want to pay $200 for your coffee pot go ahead and knock yourself out. I'm just an average Joe ( really, the pun was intended). I'm enjoying fresh hot HOT! coffee as I write this review. I don't need to go into the details of the coffee pot the manufactures writeup does that on the website. My comments are about the coffee that it produces. In my opinion, this is well worth the money spent and that's not to say it's not a good cuppa coffee cause this is a good cuppa coffee. And FYI, I have one in my "save for later" inbox in case the price drops on an Amazon warehouse item I'm going to buy it and just store in the garage. I like to have a coffee pot upstairs in the wintertime. Personal preference broaching 60my man/lady. Don't want to go up and down stairs just to get that first cup In the winter time, anyway buy the damn thing.

Second one. Good machine. Removable reservoir.

This is my second one of these. I really like this machine. It makes good coffee and the carafe keeps it warm for quite a long time, like 6 hours. My first one of these was still functional when I got rid of it. However, I always use the delay timer and the clock got so dim to the point you couldn't read it anymore. It's not like it just went out one day. It just kept getting dimmer and dimmer a over a period of a couple years. Even the day I got rid of it, If it was night time and you turned out all the lights and you stared really hard you could see what it said in order to set the time and delay timer. One great feature of these coffee pots is the fact that the water reservoir is removable. You can pop it off and take it to the sink or water cooler to fill and carry it back to the coffee machine. The gasket on my old one did start dripping profusely after some time. The part that I love the most about this removable reservoir feature is that you can take it off of the machine, rinse it out, and leave it dry in the sink everyday. I've had coffee machine without removable reservoirs that started growing slime inside, which is just disgusting. Hopefully this new one doesn't have the same clock issue.

Great Coffee Machine!

>>> SUMMARY <<< I am sometimes a picky, critical person. I research products carefully before I purchase. I love this coffee machine/pot, and would certainly recommend it to my friends or family. It reliably and easily makes good coffee, and it does it for a decent price. I will probably buy this pot or a very similar pot to replace it some day. Coming from me, that’s a pretty strong endorsement. I have thoroughly reviewed many aspects of the machine below. >>> MACHINE DESCRIPTION <<< This Mr. Coffee is a reasonably good looking coffee machine, combining stainless steel with black and clear plastic. The machine (with carafe in its nesting place) is about 14.5” high X 9.5” wide X 11” deep. The space required to use it [without moving it] is larger though, because of the carafe, reservoir, and filter/grounds basket. The carafe handle sticks out about 2” beyond the base (making the full depth from back of machine to front of carafe handle about 13”); to remove the water reservoir and the coffee basket, one needs about 8” of extra space — I have an 18” wide space on my counter between the paper tower dispenser and the wall, and it is just barely enough room to remove/replace the water reservoir and coffee basket without having to move the machine. Because the coffee basket is so high on the machine, our toaster fits snugly between the coffee machine and wall, so there’s no wasted space! The water reservoir is removable and holds enough water for 10 “cups” of coffee. Most people recognize that the concept of cups has been ridiculously misrepresented by the coffee machine companies. For this particular machine, 10 cups (max fill on the reservoir) is about 46oz (of brewed coffee). The reservoir itself is about 50oz, the carafe can hold about 48, but due to losses during brewing, (steam, soaking into the grounds/filter, etc) a full pot is about 46oz. >>> USING THE MACHINE <<< I appreciate that the water reservoir is removable. I find it much easier to fill than previous coffee machines that have the reservoir built in to the machine (this is especially useful for machines that will be placed under other cabinetry). It is very easy to fill the reservoir, add the coffee filter and coffee, and set up the clock and delay timer. I’ve been using Melitta Super Premium coffee filters (8-12 cup) and they’ve been working great. >>> PERFORMANCE DATA <<< One of the important aspects of a coffee machine is the performance data. I attempted to quantify several aspects of the machine/use. > Brew Temperature A full pot of coffee measures about 177F just after completing the brewing process, and drops about 5.4F/hr. This means after seven hours the coffee in the carafe is still at 139F, still an acceptable temperature for my coffee (I realize this is not necessarily good enough for everyone, but it’s perfectly fine for me!). And because there is no hot plate (just a well insulated thermal carafe), the coffee tastes just as good seven hours later (no burned coffee!). > Brew Time The first drop falls at about 30s, the last drop falls at about 7m. If you’re extremely impatient or addicted, the first 10oz is done in about 100s and the brew pause feature allows you to pour off your fix without spilling much more than a drop. > Pour Time The thermal carafe design is great for keeping coffee warm without requiring additional energy input and without burning your coffee, but there is a trade-off: a restriction on the pour spout. It’s not the end of the world, but it reduces flow rate, meaning you must be patient when pouring. The pot empties at about 1.25oz/s, so the whole pot will be empty in about a minute. But for those of you who are eager to get your first 10oz of the day, waiting 12 seconds to get from the carafe to your cup can feel like an eternity. Take a deep breath; relax. It’s OK. > Costs Overview Trying to account for every piece of the puzzle, I came in at just under $1/pot. Pretty good! So coffee from this machine will cost about $0.021/oz; compare this to a 20oz Starbucks coffee ($2.35, or $0.117/oz). If you use this machine to replace only one cup of Starbucks coffee per week, it will pay for itself after one year ($0.99/pot/week * 52 weeks + $71/machine = $122 = $2.35/ Starbucks 20oz * 52 weeks). If you use it to replace one cup of Starbucks per weekday, it will pay for itself in about 11 weeks and you’ll save $284 in the first year. If you and a friend are each using a full pot (46oz) to replace two every-weekday Starbucks coffees, you’ll save over $500 in the first year. > Cost Details My cost analysis (to come up with $0.99/pot) included coffee filters, coffee grounds, electricity, water, and the water filter discs, based on whatever I paid for these things (or to order replacements). By far the biggest expense was coffee ($0.93; I purchased 126 1.5-2oz bags of coffee — perfect for a full pot — from coffeeforless.com for $115, which included shipping). The coffee filters, filter discs, and electricity needed to brew a full pot (0.14kWh) are each about $0.02. I used tap water, which, on a per pot basis, is essentially free ($0.0016/pot) > Sounds I roughly characterized the sounds made by the machine using my cell phone. The percolating noises were about the same as a quiet conversation. The [4 kHz] beep to signal the end of the brew cycle is about 10-15 dB above the percolation noises. Not too loud, but if you’re trying to maintain a perfectly serene household, it may bother you. >>> THINGS OTHER PEOPLE SAY <<< 1. Some other reviewers suggested that they needed to use two filters or more coffee to get the right brew, but that hasn’t been an issue for me. I’ve been using two filters anyway, because I prefer my coffee quite strong, but I’ve tried it with one filter and it produced a good cup of coffee. 2. Some other reviewers have told tales of spilled coffee or clogged machines — this hasn’t been an issue for me (well, not often anyway; see below). Before I prep the coffee to brew, I shake the carafe and/or open, empty, and rinse the carafe to be sure it is empty. 3. Some other reviewers have mentioned a harsh and thick plastic smell that it took a long time to subdue. I agree that there was a plastic smell, and I took care to brew full pots of water, vinegar, water, coffee, water through the machine (in my garage) before bringing it into my house and using it for the first pot. But I think that might have been overkill. Some people will probably not notice any plastic flavor on their first pot, and some people will probably complain of plastic flavor incessantly; for me it has only produced delicious coffee. >>> FEATURE WISH-LIST <<< 1. I wish I could turn off the beeps at brew completion and two hours after brew completion. They’re not very loud, but I find them unnecessary and would rather do without them. 2. A pot fullness indicator. I understand the desire to keep the stainless carafe well sealed — introducing a window into the side of the carafe would greatly compromise carafe mechanical integrity, ability to retain heat, and aesthetic. But perhaps this feature could be implemented in another way to at least provide some indication of what’s in the pot without having to pick it up, shake it, take off the top and look inside, etc. (maybe a force sensor underneath that compares the weight of the carafe vs that of an empty carafe, and uses the difference to calculate the amount of fluid in the carafe and display that on a digital meter on the side of the machine?). 3. An automatic shut-off with a full pot! I read about a few mishaps others had, and lied to myself that I would never have the problem of leaving something in the pot and accidentally overfilling it. But one day I forgot to check the pot to make sure it was empty before starting a brew. And it overflowed. And it was 100% my fault. But it sure would be nice if the pot could somehow sense that the pot was nearing over-flow, and automatically stop/pause the brew. Perhaps a good feature to combine with the pot fullness indicator discussed above?

The real deal: Don't listen to all the negative jazz this is a GOOD buy.

Ok so i read all the negative and positive reviews trying to figure out what was the deal with this coffee maker. Here is the thing i have found, people who really hate this coffee maker just don't understand what it is or how to use it right. This is a fine buy, perhaps the only buy if you want a Thermal Coffee maker that really works. ok so first we need to understand this is a THERMAL coffee maker. Why does that matter? 1) You won't burn down you house because you forgot to turn it off. 2) you will never have burnt thick muddy coffee. 3) it saves a ton of money on energy. 4) you can take your coffee pot with you to your table, desk, or backyard, and it will stay hot right beside you just as if it was still being heated. It is key to understand that the whole point of this coffee maker is that it is thermal which means when it is made it is dumped into a coffee pot that is really a big thermos and that is how it stays hot. This means it stays hot really long without heating, burning, and thickening. It also means your first cup of coffee will be blistering hot and each on after a little less. But big deal, i made a pot of coffee this morning when i got up at 7am it is now 12:39pm and i am drinking my last cup and it is still hot (just not blistering hot). Common Complaints: Does it leak? Sure it does when you don't follow directions, or clean it right. Is it poorly designed? - Well there are things i would have done different but that is the case about anything. It works and works very well. It brews incredibly fast (a full pot in 5 minutes or under) and it brews blistering hot (the first cup is too hot for me often). Does it pour slowly? Well duh? of course it does, it is in an air tight thermos that is designed not to let cold air is to cool your coffee pot! Hello? What don't people get about that? Ironically, the same people who complain about temperature are the same people who say it pours to slowly. Sigh. Hey i don't care how big your mug is we are still talking seconds or pouring time not minutes, you won't die waiting, and your coffee will not be burnt or cold! Real issues: It is true the fist 5 to 6 pots of coffee have a weird taste. There are a couple reasons for that and ways to fix it. One the pot needs to be washed after manufacturing. I advise you to save yourself the stress and go ahead and run 5-7 cycles of plain water though it before you brew coffee to make sure there is no strange first brew taste. And other reason the taste and even coffee strength can be off is it filters your water. And the filter indeed leaves a slight taste, and slows down the brew (thus the strength). If your not use to filtered water you will taste it more. I recommend you presoak your filter, to get the filter taste out (yes that will slightly decrease the strength of the filter but give you a better coffee). Or if you already use filtered water (as i do) or just don't care if it is filtered, just pull the filter out, you will get a better cup of coffee. While i i have experimented i am still using mine with the presoak. it is more of a personal issue. Also to prevent leaking wash with water and a mild dish soap and don't be overly rough with filling tank. Lastly, i have done the research this is the best and only real choice for a thermal home coffee machine without getting into huge dollars. There are others, but they perform worse. This is a good coffee machine, you just have to understand it is not an old burner system (which for some of us is a good thing). It is cutting edge in this price range, but you need to sync with it and seek to learn what gets you the best coffee from it. Buy. Enjoy. Have fun.

EXCELLENT PURCHASE - BEST UPGRADE FROM OUR KEURIG

After spending many weeks researching and reviewing options to trade in our Keurig for a regular drip coffee maker we decided to give this one a try. I read many reviews that had negative remarks about leaking, and other brew problems. Originally those reviews steered me away but on a whim I decided to try it anyways. I AM SO GLAD WE DID. The only issue we had (which will be with any new coffee maker) is that our first few brews had a plastic-y taste. After about 7 or 8 brew cycles of vinegar the taste was gone! We use this coffee maker religiously every morning and for many hours after the coffee is still steaming when poured. Once the coffee has finished a brew cycle the machine will beep to alert you, with that said I advise waiting a minute or two after to make sure the coffee has stopped dripping completely. I made the mistake once of grabbing the pot the second the beep went off and scorched my hand with coffee drips in the process. The pre-set function is easy to use, the design is sleek and visually appealing and best yet we are saving a BOATLOAD on coffee now that we are not buying k-cups. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone!

Great for multiple cups

We love this coffee pot! Easy to clean, easy to use, and quick to brew. It's programmable, but we haven't used that feature yet. We went to this after using a Mr. Coffee individual (k-cup) machine for several years because between the 2 of us we average 2-4 cups of coffee per day, it seemed more efficient and financially responsible to brew more than one cup at a time. I do have to say I miss the simplicity of just popping in a k-cup. Since it's more than 2 steps to make coffee using this, it's my husbands job to make the coffee in the morning. He says this machine uses fewer grounds than you would expect to make a good cup of coffee. If I use a tablespoon per serving (6 oz of water) the coffee seems VERY strong (but I am a terrible coffee maker, that's why I bought the k-cup machine in the first place). We have been very impressed with Mr. Coffee brand machines. As a side note, I bought a Keurig brand coffee maker for my dad for Christmas and we were appalled to see that it was actually more steps to brew a k-cup with the Keurig brand machine than with our Mr. Coffee brand machine. Dad loved the Keurig, but he has never experienced the simplicity of the Mr. Coffee Machine!
