Mr. Coffee – 12-Cup Coffee Maker with Strong Brew Selector – Stainless Steel

It gets the job done quick and easy. Once you add the coffee then the water. Turn it on and whalaaaa! Coffee in less than 3 minutes tops and I am not lying. Great machine, cute and great price. Mr. Coffee does it again!!!!

It works but I would not buy this again due to some odd design choices. First, the removable filter basket has a notch that is supposed to connect with the decanter. It hangs down too far making it difficult to remove and replace the decanter without dripping or spilling. Every time I replace the decanter, it hits the notch first and I have to wiggle it to get it back on the hot plate correctly. Second, the chrome finish on the button panel is reflective making it impossible to read the words on the panel. You either have to stand at a certain angle to block the light or cover the panel with your hand so you can read it. Third, the clock does not have a back light. It’s hard enough to read as is but without a back light there is really no point in having it at all. Fourth, the measure marks on the decanter don’t match the marks on the water reservoir. If you fill the decanter to 4 cups and pour it in the reservoir, it comes to about 2 1/2. You have to fill the decanter to almost 6 to make it to the 4 cup line in the reservoir, which returns 4 cups of coffee. Other than all this, it works… so far. The temperature is fine and the brewing time is normal apart from what others have said about it being slow.

Beautiful and efficient! I love this coffee maker! Love that it is programmable, so my coffee is ready as soon as I get up.
