2.0 out of 5 stars
Makes decent coffee, but is poorly designed.,
This review is from: 12 Cup Coffee Maker
There are several problems with the design that make it too frustrating for the money:
1. It has an "auto-pause" that's supposed to let you pour coffee while it's brewing. When the carafe is on the hotplate, the raised bump in the middle of the carafe lid pushes up a switch that hangs down from the top of the overhang. It doesn't hang down very far, and the carafe lid flares up on the sides, so it's impossible to remove the carafe while brewing without bumping the switch, causing coffee to dribble down onto the hotplate. 2. The lid on the top of the coffee maker actually seals *too* tightly, so if you don't leave it open or wipe it out after every use, the inside will stay damp. Not a huge problem, but hey. 3. The Killer! The carafe dribbles like crazy! You have to tilt it up really steep, and then you're still even odds to caffeinate your floors and counters. It's really the carafe that kills it, but for forty dollars they could've fixed this, or included a training video for dummies like me.

It makes coffee..,
By BirdFur (Earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 12 Cup Coffee Maker
That's all we wanted it to do. None of the fancy things other coffee makers can do. Just coffee-in the morning. Our last coffee maker, a Proctor Silex, finally died and I decided to go back to Mr. Coffee brand because they always made good coffee. They're always a decent price and readily available. We'd been using Mr. Coffee brand around 15 years or so, getting a new one every about every 4-5 years. I like the dual water gauges on each side of the tank-makes it makes it much easier to see when filling. The basket area is big, making that easier to fill also. If all you need is a coffee maker that makes good coffee and has it ready for you when you stumble out of bed in the morning, this is it. Check your local discount stores-you can probably get it for $25 like I did.

Poor design changes,

This review is from: 12 Cup Coffee Maker
I previously had a Mr. Coffee model that lasted 6+ years. It was great. I was disappointed with the new design that Mr. Coffee has gone with. Like a previous customer pointed out, when you remove the carafe the majority of the time will leave coffee on the hotplate. I have to poor my cup with a paper towel in my hand to wipe up the mess. With the new carafe you will also drip coffee on your counter if you try to pour 1-2 inches above the cup. I can tell you this almost never happened with my old model. It also seems to brew much slower. Took 20 minutes to brew 6 servers this morning. Last night I ran hot water & vinegar to clean it, so I know it's not from build up. Nothing about this new design works for me. I've decided to switch since it looks like every carafe now has the same design for Mr. Coffee.
