5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous Coffee Maker, December 28, 2009

I have used my old coffee maker for over ten years. It still works and makes great coffee, but the handle on the carafe somehow slipped to the side. With the handle out of place, it is difficult to pour coffee into a cup, but I still like my coffee maker. Of course I could have replaced the carafe, but My son decided I needed a new Mr Coffee and wished to get me one as a present.

So what to get? Over the years the choices have really expanded. I don't like programmable models. The coffee grounds that sit overnight become stale while waiting for the alarm to start brewing. I like my coffee fresh.

My son found this Mr. Coffee 12 Cup Switch model which exceeds all my requirements. I started using this coffee maker and it is really good. It is easy to keep clean, which is important for making great coffee. It has a "Pause and Serve" that allows a person to take a first cup, without any spillage, while it is still brewing. It also comes with a one year warranty (but if it is anything like my last one it will last many years).

I highly recommend this Mr. Coffee.

4.0 out of 5 stars No Automatic Shut-Off Feature, January 26, 2011

This review is from: Mr. Coffee SK12 12-Cup Switch Coffeemaker, White (Kitchen)

This is an excellent basic coffeemaker. We've had one of the programmable units for years and love it. However, the written description of the product clearly states "2-hour auto shut-off keeps your coffee hot for two hours and then automatically shuts itself off." THERE IS NO SUCH AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF on this model. You must buy the more expensive, programmable model to get the auto shut-off feature. It's a small complaint but the automatic shut-off was the reason that we bought this unit for use in a workplace where people don't always remember to turn the coffeemaker off at night. Now we have to go through the exercise of returning the product and re-ordering one that DOES have the automatic shut-off.
Please update your product description.

I have owned Mr. Coffee, Coffee makers since 1973. It is the only brand I will purchase. because of it's consistant reliability. Altho I did purchase another brand "Once" only because the store was out of these when I needed one. To be fair. I will not name the other brand. But I was not impressed.
Mr. Coffee. I find? lasts a lot longer in a 7 day a week scenario. Using the pot from morning to late afternoon.. With out breaking down or burning out. The Manufacturer states that the machine should be cleaned with white Vinegar . However? I have not done this to any of my machines ever. And They always and consistantly. Last over two years. The one I purchased before this one for instance? Lasted from 2007 to 2010. before it gave up the Ghost and finally died.
I find that cleaning the Coffee maker with white Vinegar. Shortens the pots life span. So I do not do this any more.
I also purchased the Gold basket to put the coffee in as I grew tired of the messy paper filters alone.
For the price? and convience? I consider mr. Coffee to be an ecellent value. And have felt this way now since my first purchase of this coffee maker in 1973. A hint....When ever I purchase any electyrical aplliance? I always on the bottom of the appliance use a Sharpie Pen and write down the date purchased. This also helps me to know exactly how long an item lasts with out any guess work. This is my own quirk? But you may find it a good practice as well for your own knowledge.
Thank You
