What's great about it: Easy to setup, good price, space saver, brews on time
What's not so great: tough to get a second cup, especially if you use a mug like me
This baby brews right on time every morning. I wake up to the aroma and go into the bathroom and fresh coffee is ready for me. No waiting no hassles (except to remember to fill it and set it the night before).
But this thing was worth every penny! I bought two, one for a back-up that I may never need.

What's great about it: small size fits nicely on counter top
What's not so great: ?
Love it so far. Does exactly what it is supposed to do and does it well.
I bought this because I broke the carafe in my previous coffee maker. It was an older 4-cup Mr Coffee. This carafe feels sturdier than the previous model. For the price of a weeks coffee at that famous coffee shop you can't go wrong. Get a $20 grinder to go with it and make your own great coffee at home.

What's great about it: no drama
What's not so great: small
This replaced a $100 Cuisinart that was not performing well after only 4 months. So far, so good, it's getting things done with no hassles and no drama, plus it takes up a lot less counter space.

What's great about it: Small, cute like a button, perfect for 1-2 people, programmable
What's not so great: Nothing
In order to find an adequate replacement to my old Farberware Percolator, I've checked dozens of makes and read hundreds of reviews. One of the reviews said, that percolators like mine were not as good as before, and that the reviewer was very much satisfied with his Mr.Coffee. I have never had Mr.Coffee machine before. I took a risk as the coffee maker was not on display, and there was no price tag on it. I just trusted the review. And I am glad I did, For 4 cups of water I use 3 tablespoonfuls of DD coffee. I drink my coffee from a big mug, so I have one mug and then some, I did program it too, and it works perfectly. But I like to be awake for the strong coffee aroma. I thought my percolator was great, but now my Mr.Coffee is!

What's great about it: use and easy to program
What's not so great: the purchase price and no adjustment for auto shut off timer
I have used this coffee maker for about two months with no issues. It performs well and is easy to use. My only complaints are it seems a little over priced for the features and there is no way to adjust the auto shut off timer.

What's great about it: Delay brew and auto off.
What's not so great: Easy to accidentally press front panel buttons
I've had this about 2 months now and am very happy with it. It appears to be well engineered. Once you set the delay brew time, activating it is simply done by pushing the "delay brew" button after filling with water and coffee. You don't have to reset the delay brew time every day if you are doing the same time each day. I also like the auto off feature that turns it off after an hour. Just be careful about accidentally hitting the front panel buttons, which could easily change the current clock time. I liked it enough to buy one as a housewarming gift for my sister-in-law.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Price, ease of use.
What's not so great: Brewing speed, but not really bad.
This coffeemaker does what it was made to do with no problems. Its great for the price - few bells and whistles but I don't really need any.
It's just a tad slower to brew than others I have used, but not bad.

What's great about it: One may actually get all of the coffee out of the pot without dripping all over.
What's not so great: There is not enough room to fill the water tank from the carafe.
This coffee maker does just what it says it will do. Make 4 cups of coffee. In practice we get one mug full and about 2 cups. Considering that a mug is about 8 ounces and a cup runs 4-5 ounces.
Praise is due Mr. Coffee for making a carafe that actually pours without having the initial drip run down the bowl from the lip.

What's great about it: Good price, good performance!
What's not so great: ...none really, my only improvement would be a backlit display
This machine puts out four (or two mugs) cups of coffee in good order and keeps it hot for a while without burning the coffee. Then it shuts off for you, if you forget to turn it off.
The unit is well-designed, and compact. The digital clock is a good size. I do wish it was backlit so it would be easier for old eyes to read,
If you're single or the single coffee drinker in the house, this is a good unit and you can't go wrong for the price.

What's great about it: Freshly-brewed coffee when I get up!
What's not so great: Time can easily be accidentally re-set.
It's very handy to be able to get our coffee ready to brew before going to bed at night and it's great to wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee! And the size is just right for two generous mugfuls.
One thing to watch out for--the current time can be reset simply by touching one of the buttons, so you should check that the current time is correct when setting the delayed-brew time.

What's great about it: Functions very well for making small amoounts
I have had different brands of 4-cup brewers and this is the best. It is easy to use and durable (I bought one over a year ago and it still works quite well; I have now bought a second for a different location). It's for small amounts only and it's better to use a small brewer for small jobs instead of using a 10 or 12-cup brewer and trying to make only a small fraction. It is also "easy on the wallet" compared with some brands of 4-cup brewers that don't work as well.

What's great about it: It's SMALL!
What's not so great: They won't survive armageddon.
Just like any other machine, my coffee was perfectly brewed and easy to clean up. I set up my coffee each night and it's ready when I wake up. Don't feel like waiting? Well pull out the pot and it stops brewing, put it back in and it continues. What more can you ask for?
This is a personal coffee maker, if you need one to appease occasional visitors, buy a larger one. When you take into account that you are saving money on wasted coffee, water, counter space, and a larger heating surface you really can't complain.
I saw a complaint about a plastic taste and grounds spilling. That taste may be the result of using the machine without rinsing it first. As with anything else, it just came from a factory. You can expect the first 1-3 cups to taste odd until regularly used. It's also important you buy the right size filter for this so your grounds don't spill. You also should regularly rinse the holder cup. Sometimes it get's clogged with grains from previous cups or plastic from the factory. This would cause the coffee to spill into your cup.
I rated it a 4 on durability because it will last you 3-4 years, then you will have to buy another one. They just stop working. No clue why. Maybe it's my water? I am on my third one in about 15 years.
I would recommend this to a friend!
