What Others Say
The bad reviews are correct
I came here to write a bad review, but I see many have cleared the path already.
The sides of the cup that holds the filter are too steep. The filters "cave in" easily, and then coffee grounds get in the coffee and clog the exit valve. (Crisply folded filters from one end of the package work better.) If you remove the pot before brewing is complete, coffee drips. Pretty soon coffee is on the bottom of the pot. Then it is anywhere where you put the pot down, but there's probably a mess there already because you can't pour out of the pot's spout without dripping.
It's easy to spill water into the filter area when filling the unit. This can aggravate the above problem. It's also easy to spill coffee into the water reservoir. ... Read More
Remember cheaper is better
I got this as a Christmas gift in 2007. It worked very good for about 2 weeks, then I have to keep pushing it to start about 8 times just to get 1 fresh pot. It kept stopping. Now I boil water on the stove and pour it over the coffee grounds. I can't believe my daughter paid over $ 40 for this coffee maker, when I've had better results with a cheaper model.
SHORT POTTING ME
HAS THIS FOR 3 YEARS AND IT DOESN'T COMPLETE A BREW CYCLE ANYMORE. TAKES 9 MIN. TO BREW 6 CUPS. THE TEMP IS FINE. THERMAL POT KEEPS COFFEE WARM FOR A WHILE, NEVER TIMED IT. GET DRIPS FROM POT, ALWAYS CLEANING COUNTER. SEEMS LIKE MR. COFFEE HAS GONE DOWN HILL. HAD A MR. COFFEE BEFORE THIS ONE, GLASS POT, NEVER HAD PROBLEMS. HAD A GOOD REPUTATION IN THE PAST. THINK TWICE ON THIS ONE. NOW LEANING TOWARD SINGLE SERVE BREWER, CAUSE THIS ONE'S OUTTA HERE.
Works as a Coffee Maker Should
I've had this coffee maker for about six months and haven't had any problems so far. I'd like to address a few of the common complaints from the one and two star reviews. First off, the coffee has always brewed hot for me, and stays hot for several hours. I've never pre-heated the carafe, and never would, and the coffee is still steaming hot after two to three hours (I've never let it sit all day, but I'd imagine it would stay hot for several more hours). Secondly, I use a permanent filter so I've never had a problem with paper filter collapse- this is a common problem with all coffee makers, not just this one, so I wouldn't necessarily blame this coffee maker for that. Third, if you can screw in your gas cap on your car, you can screw on the ... Read More
If only I could rate this at less than one star.....
This is the WORST coffee maker I have ever purchased. I challenge anyone to be able to pour a cup of coffee without the darn thing dripping all over the counter. Couple that with the fact that the coffee NEVER comes out hot and then rapidly deteriorates to lukewarm. I thought the thermal carafe would keep the hot coffee hot, and keep it fresher....WRONG! There are a lot of quality Mr. Coffee products....this is just not one of them!
