I love this coffee maker. Set it up the night before and fresh coffee in the morning ready to go. Easy does it. Fits under the counter, I put felt tabs on the bottom, and it slides out easily to fill. Keep it near the sink so I can use the sprayer to fill. Perfect.
What's great about it: Good coffee, easy to use, night before set up, timer shut off
What's not so great: Don't over fill or it flows over on to counter.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this coffee maker online and when it arrived, none of the buttons worked on the front of the coffee maker. So, i can not set the time or set the timer to make coffee every morning. I have called 4 times and talked with best buy online services and they told me that my local stores carried them in stock. So i called the local stores. None of them carry it in the store, so now i have to call the 888 number to best buy and start all over again. Doesnt best buy know what or where there items are in stock. NO THEY DONT. This a terrible issue. But its christmas time and they are all forgiven. (this time). Sorry everyone, just needed to vent alittle.
What's great about it: good price if it worked
What's not so great: timer does not work
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just got this coffeemaker but so far it has been great. I also noticed that it keeps the coffee HOT unlike some other coffee makers that allow the coffee to get warm/tepid. Also the auto-off feature is great for forgetful people like me! Also the dude in appliances in the Allen Park, MI store was very helpful.
What's great about it: Price, keeps coffee HOT, cord stays neat.
What's not so great: ? It doesn't make coffee all by itself? haha
I would recommend this to a friend!

This coffeemaker does not have an illuminated clock face which it appeared to have on the outside of the box photo. I've had coffeemakers that also brewed faster, but overall, for the price it brews a decent tasting cup of coffee.
What's great about it: the price
What's not so great: clock not illuminated

This takes me back to the old school way of the 90's making coffee and it rocks. My Tassimo I liked but found the older version has a rubber filter in the water which rubs off black stuff eww. So I sent it away. This Mr. Coffee is used everyday and it rocks the controls are awesome, autoshut off after 2 hours and delay programming are awesome.
What's great about it: Usefullness
What's not so great: none

Makes great coffee; easy to use; has all the bells and whistles that we need. Only drawback is that you have to make sure that the water arm is over the filter basket (if you have moved the arm to get the basket in and out). It does not beep when the brew is done, like we are used to; but not a deal breaker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was looking for a quick replacement of my coffee maker. I saw the store flyer had this coffee maker on sale. I wanted just a basic, push the button coffee maker and this fit the bill. It also has the programmable feature as well, but with the sale price It beat the the low end models that were not on sale. Overall, I'm very pleased. It works great and makes great coffee and I didn't have to do a lot of shopping around.
What's great about it: Simple to use. Low cost.
I would recommend this to a friend!

we have owned this unit for three years and today it died! I was hoping to get at least five years if not ten, but NOT! Although it worked decent, it never poured without splilling. It seems to be a design flaw with the pots spout...whether you are filling the resevoir or pouring a cup, it always dribbles!!! To be honest with you although Im bummed it died, Im glad i wont have to deal with Mr. Coffee Drip again.
What's great about it: low cost
What's not so great: drip....drip...dribble....drip
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Gave away an expensive new coffee maker for Mr. Coffee. It has the interrupt brewing feature and it doesn't drip all over the counter when pouring a cup. Mr Coffee is very affordable and provided the features that I needed. This is the third or fourth Mr. Coffee that I have owned and would buy it again.
What's great about it: Very easy to use and its quick. Makes great coffee.
What's not so great: Sometimes drips when using the interrupt feature.

Dont buy this coffee maker. The only reason I bought it, was I had a Best Buy gift card to redeem. Its way over priced, it leaks when you pull the pot out, it gets more coffee on your counter than in your cup. after about a half hour, the coffee tasts like the element. I had an original Mr Coffee, when they were made here. This is nothing like it. Next time, im going back to my Black and Decker. 15 dollars less, same features, and no leaks when you pour coffee.
What's not so great: drips, cant read display, coffee tasts burnt
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
