This 12-cup coffeemaker is a very handy, everyday tool to have around in the kitchen. It features a plethora of benefits, along with a few caveats (a.k.a. drawbacks) worth mentioning.Pros:- A very simple, minimal design, featuring a translucent window to gauge how much water is put inside.- Fully plastic and very lightweight. It can make cleaning a simple process. This also means a reduced probability of scaling, as it frequently happens on metal products.- Lightweight decanter, though the container is made of thin glass (or possible that it is made of polycarbonate: not confirmed). It makes it up with a plastic lid and a sturdy plastic handle.- Coffee comes out rather hot—as expected.- Heating surface helps keep the coffee hot.- The coffee that comes out is, indeed, coffee. I’m kidding: I can taste the coffee bean that the drink came out of, and not some utterly burnt mess. (It’s able to do its intended purpose very well.)- The price isn’t too bad. My expected baseline would be around $25—lucky if it’s $20.- Product was well-packaged, with most of the packaging being environmentally responsible (using cardboard instead of styrofoam packaging).- Legible instruction manual.Cons:- The thin decanter may need some care put forth into it when cleaning. Following the care instructions can help expedite the process.- The power cable, upon unboxing, was stuck so far into the device (I couldn’t get it out of the cable management/routing hole in the rear) that I had to unscrew ALL screws on the bottom in order to safely remove the cable from the rear. I was in fear of yanking the cable too hard to where it could break something—the rear cable routing hole, OR the cable. *I have the strangest feeling this was a QA oversight and not something intentionally done by design or the manufacturing process.*- The power cable is pretty stiff, which makes routing the cable itself a mere frustration. One would question if it’s worth wiggling the power cable in order to loosen the cord itself, at the expense of eventually wearing out the copper wiring inside. This might also explain why it was so difficult to remove the cable from the rear hole.- The coffeemaker tends to drip its liquid contents from the filter whenever you pull the decanter from the device. It’s very annoying, but can usually be resolved with a quick wipe of a damp rag/paper towel, followed up by wiping it with a dry towel in order to lessen the chances of staining the heating pad.- There are plenty of single-use plastics within the packaging that might be worth reducing.Suggestions to rectify some of the issues noted:- If this isn’t being done, already: Make an effort to use less single-use plastics in regards to packaging the included materials. I’m certain that most of the cardboard is doing well enough of a job in keeping the product safe.- Use power cables that are easily flexible instead of the stiff power cable. It’s extremely bothersome to be barely able to move it around in especially confined spaces.- If possible: redesign the filter basket so it doesn’t just drip onto the heating pad whenever you pull out the decanter for a quick pour. It can make maintenance quite a chore since the liquid contents dries up rather quickly on the heated surface.Overall: This is a low-cost (at the time of purchase: ~$28) coffeemaker where you aren’t the kind of person to use more excessive features (e.g. “brew later”, an on-screen clock, brewing preferences), and just wants a nice cup of Joe. You simply can’t go wrong with this device. Since the price for this product has greatly fluctuated (a.k.a. gone up), I absolutely recommend getting this at a much lower price, as getting it around $40 is simply not worth the expense.

I had a previous Mr Coffee for over 15 years and my new one works just like it. I didn’t have to relearn anything and it uses the same paper filters as my original model. It was still available in white.

I bought this coffee maker for our 2nd home in another state so it doesn’t get a ton of use. I’m not a coffee drinker but my husband is. The first one I ordered was received broken. The 2nd one arrived in one piece. It was packaged in the box as it would be if it was purchased at a brick and mortar store. My husband’s complaint about this coffee maker is that the coffee isn’t hot enough. He says the first cup needs to be warmed in the microwave and the second cup after sitting on the warmer is ok. I am not going to return this but I wouldn’t recommend buying this coffee maker. Spend a little more for better quality.

For the price, I wasn’t expecting high quality or lifespan. Mr Coffee drip units always did okay enough with temperature and strength for me and this was on par. It was used daily for 1-2 pots a day and the switch finally burned out causing a short coming up on two years.Also, I will add it did have a slight smell of plastic on first use, but I ran white vinegar/ water mix through it a few times and it did fine after that.

I wanted a auto turn off – this one does not have but, will have to live with it

Quick brew time. To early to grade for longevity.

It freaking does what it needs to do. Simple to use. The one thing they could have done is added an auto shut off feature for safety in case you forget to turn the coffee maker off. They had that on another model they sold that I owned. But it’s a great coffee maker for the price.

While many folks look for the latest and greatest innovations accessories for simple items; which may or may not make a product better I like to find ones that do a single job well. This coffee maker has no clock, no automatic wake up to the delicious smell of coffee, no latte setting. BUT, what it does have is an on/off switch that turns ordinary tap water into a wonderful cup of coffee.If you are looking for a no frills coffee maker that does its job, look no more. Joe DiMaggio was right all those years ago telling us that Mr Coffee makes a great cup of coffee.
