Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With its sleek, stylish design, this 12-cup coffeemaker not only looks great on the counter, but it also provides an array of convenient features. Enjoy easy reading and programming thanks to its unique, digital touch-screen control panel, which offers "brew now", "delay brew", "brew strength", "clean", and other options for simple operation and maintenance. The unit's filter basket removes for easy filling and cleaning, while its water reservoir supplies a stepped gauge for those who would rather fill directly from the faucet or with a sink sprayer. The included 12-cup carafe provides measuring marks up the side, a generous stay-cool handle, and a drip-free spout for graceful serving. Removing the carafe from the machine midbrew pauses the flow of coffee and allows for pouring a quick cup, and after a two-hour keep-warm mode, the unit shuts off automatically for safety and peace of mind. Other highlights include programmable brewing for "wake-up" coffee, an audible ready signal, and a water filter to help ensure the best-tasting results. Housed in durable, black plastic with gleaming chrome accents, the coffeemaker measures 9-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 14 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars I was very impressed when I got home and continue to be., November 17, 2009

By	Julie (Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mr. Coffee LWXSS33 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Touch-Screen Technology (Kitchen)

I was first attracted to this unit because it has a touch-screen and such a sleek look. I have come to be VERY happy with mine. I looked in several places locally and online to find a better price and couldn't get better than sixty at a big name chain WM. I was recently forced to buy a new coffee maker as my carafe broke on my Braun unit and I wasn't able to replace it. (FWIW, that unit is 11 yrs old and won't quit. Despite it overflowing and water getting in the electronic parts countless times, it always dried out!)

Measurements:
13.5" tall
10.5" wide
8.5" deep
26" cord length

Pros:
(+) very slick, touch screen is way cool, let's face it
(+) pours very well; no drips
(+) "strong" feature really does adjust strength for you; no need to change scoop amt
(+) plastic around the top of decanter prevents chips/cracks (where most breaks start)
(+) visual timer unit (15 minute increments)
(+) cord storage at back so you can push unit flush to wall
(+) clean function automatically determines when unit needs cleaning

Cons:
(-) a big con for me is that the "Strong" indicator goes away once the coffee has fully brewed and is ready. How are others supposed to know what kind of coffee you made that day? Because with this coffee maker, Strong vs. Regular (not strong) makes a VERY noticeable difference. I don't know how, but it really does.
(-) another big con is the obnoxious 5-beep ready indicator. Could it be any louder? Maybe it's supposed to be like an alarm clock--to wake you from a peaceful slumber. Geesh.
(-) the stainless steel down the front/sides gets slightly streaky when wiping with a sponge. It really needs a stainless steel cleaner to get it like-new again. (I'm not going to buy a bottle of this just for my coffee maker. It looks good enough from arms length away.)
(-) water gauge is down in the water well. I **MUCH** preferred my Braun unit that had a ball and bobber that you could visualize the water height from the outside. I just don't feel like I can get an accurate read looking DOWN at the water level.
(-) I feel this water filter system is cheap. I know many units use this disc you put over the grinds as the water drips, but I much prefer the type of charcoal filter with actual charcoal pebbles in it that you put down in the water well and it soaks in the water.
(-) it's impossible to get the last couple of drops out of the decanter when pouring; they get stuck in the plastic pour lid (mildly annoying)
(-) flat basket design requires slightly more grounds when brewing small pots (i.e. not as efficient as a cone-shaped)


As to the poster who gave it a low review and mentioned it wasn't stable on only two rubber feet... I just checked mine and mine is totally and completely stable. Given that he mentioned he has black, tile countertops, I'm not surprised it isn't stable. Duh.

5.0 out of 5 stars I own it, I love it!!, September 17, 2009

By	Bonnie Shaw "ishmashaw" (Downingtown PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mr. Coffee LWXSS33 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Touch-Screen Technology (Kitchen)

I just got this unit the other day and have made a total of two pots of coffee, so far. I know it is early, but this is a terrific machine. Very easy to fill: the reservior has a stepped gauge that is easy to read from above which is handy since I fill it with the sink sprayer directly instead of from the caraff. It used normal filters instead of those conical ones. The caraff is actually 12 cups. The touch screen is very sensitive and it is a genuine touch screen, not a plastic covered button type keyboard. Very easy to program and operate. Love the added water filter feature and it is NOT a cartridge type that costs you almost as much as the coffee maker itself. Probably won't used it once it needs replacing, we will see. Terrific unit!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, October 19, 2009

By	R. Phillips "home w/ the kids" (NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mr. Coffee LWXSS33 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Touch-Screen Technology (Kitchen)

This is my first "real" coffee maker. The one I had previous to this purchase was about 25 years old (also a Mr. Coffee), and it didn't have automatic anything. It was just as basic as it gets. So, for me, I am just thrilled to have this new one that is programmable so that I can wake up to the wonderful aroma of coffee each morning! When coffee is ready, the machine will beep three times. Coffee maker keeps coffee hot for 2 hours, and then beeps three times again to let you know it's shutting off.
This model has a sensitive touch key pad, it is easily programmable, easy to clean, and hasn't turned out a bad pot of coffee yet. I've owned it for two months now, and I am still as delighted with it as I was on day one.
The enclosed operation booklet won't take you three days to read. Everything is concise and clearly explained.
This Mr. Coffee looks smart on my counter top, but takes up a little more room than some do. I can live with that. Water resevoir can be poured into from either side of the filter basket. The left side has "stair-step" numbers inside so that you can pour directly from faucet or sprayer instead of pouring from coffee pot. Very convenient if you locate your machine on the right side of your sink.
The water filter that fits onto the filter basket serves, not only to filter water, but also aids in keeping the paper coffee filters from collapsing. Something I had a problem with regularly in my previous machine. It could be that the filters would not collapse anyway in this machine, but I found that it was a nice bit of insurance, if you will, since I had experienced the collapsed filters so often in my old machine.
I would highly recommend this machine to anyone who is in the market for a great coffee maker that has both good looks and is a pleasure to use.


****Sept 1, 2010
Suddenly this machine has sprung a leak! It is losing a LOT of water from underneath the machine each time I try to make coffee now. Can't seem to figure out how this is happening. Wondering if anyone else is having the same trouble.
