5.0 out of 5 stars I Love You Mr. Coffee, July 22, 2008

I have a new love in my life. It's "Mr. Coffee NLX5 4- Cup Coffeemaker". When I wake up in the morning,the aroma hits me immediately.He's already there,waiting with 4 cups(actually 2 mugs) of fresh brewed coffee for me. I can program him to any time I want that first pick-me-up, of the morning. And if I happen to wake up a little early and catch Mr. Coffee in the middle of brewing, and I have to have it right away, I am able to pour myself a cup and he'll stop brewing midstream, so none drips onto the warming plate. Ahhhhh! He then returns to the brewing process, so I can have seconds. No waiting!

Mr. Coffee has some other great features that attracted me immediately to him. The filter basket(use basket type for 4-cup) lifts out for neater emptying of used grounds. If I ignore him he'll shut himself off automatically.(it says an hour for auto shut-off here, but my guy goes for 2 hours before turning off). No worry about leaving the coffee to burn away and ruin my decanter.The timer used for presetting my pot of coffee, also makes a nice little kitchen clock. The power cord has a little storage compartment so it stays up and off the counter. I also notice one other nice little feature. If the decanter is not sitting exactly right, the coffee will not drip, again not allowing the warmer plate to get wet or ruined! I also always know whether Mr. Coffee is turned on(or off) as there is an indicator light too.

Mr. Coffee works great every time.My relationship with Mr. Coffee NLX5 has lasted nearly 3 years now. He never complains. He's easy. Easy to use, easy to love and has never let me down. Mr. Coffee is also attractive and comes with a great instruction booklet on the care and feeding. He's juuust right! Perfect for a single!
I love you Mr. Coffee!...Laurie

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for "Coffee for One", October 20, 2008

I've just got the Mr. Coffee NLX5 coffee maker and I couldn't be happier. We wanted a small coffee maker for home and this one delivers. It has a very small footprint so it doesn't take up much counter space, it has not leaked a drop which is also good, and it makes pretty good coffee. (I use a heaping 2 tablespoon scoop for four cups.) I chose the black color so it doesn't show the stains. The unit has a removable filter basket so I don't spill grounds when emptying which is handy. The clock is a great feature and the timer makes it easy to have a fresh cup waiting on the way out the door in the morning. The output when I make a full pot fills a 12 oz coffee cup about twice which I find is about the right amount of coffee for me.

A couple things to note. You have to pour slowly so the carafe doesn't spill and one hour shut off doesn't give me enough time. (Some mornings I make coffee at 6:30 and don't have a chance to touch it until after 8:00.) You can hit start again and it will warm up the carafe. I would would prefer a large sight glass for the water level.

Overall, this is a great little unit which makes pretty good coffee. It is well suited to apartments, dorm rooms, and at the office. Making my own coffee at work is much cheaper than paying a $1.00 or more for a cup in the cafeteria and I love the smell when the coffee is brewing. Having this unit allows me to drink the specialized coffee I prefer. The small size means making a second pot isn't a hastle on those days when one pot just isn't enough. I recommend the Mr. Coffee NLX5 to people who like fresh coffee with a minimum of fuss, either at home or at work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Programmable! yes!, December 1, 2005

Love the programmable function so you can set it all up the night before and have coffee ready when you get out of bed! We had to take 2 back as the on/off switch ceased to work. Finally, the 3rd one has been in use flawlessly for 6 months. It makes great, hot coffee the same strength every time when you follow the suggestions and keeps it hot for an hour, then shuts off automatically. Only one problem is the heater plate where the decanter sits, is losing its finish and becoming scarred, even though we are not rough in handling it at all. We are going to get another one, however, and Target has them for $20! You can't beat that!
