Reviews around cycle (4.87 of 5)

  • I also like the cleaning feature... it reminds you when it needs a clean cycle.
  • So now I am at 6 brew cycles, and one clean cycle (45 minutes to clean)
  • We run the clean cycle and it only stays off until used
  • This coffee maker has a clean function and it will indicate when a cleaning cycle is recommended with an orange backlight on one of the buttons.
  • I have run 10 cycles and 1 cleaning cycle and my coffee still tastes like plastic

Reviews around steel (4.71 of 5)

  • The pot leaked at the top of stainless steel part when you poured coffee.
  • The coffee doesn’t taste burnt because it is brewed into the stainless steel pot.
  • The inner surface is brushed stainless steel and it stains with time leaving a perpetual stale coffee scent
  • The stainless steel thermal carafe on the other hand is a horror
  • I've never submerged this coffee carafe, yet it began to leak around the seam between the black plastic & the stainless steel ... just sitting on the plate, whenever the coffee would brew.

Reviews around look (4.63 of 5)

  • What I like about this coffee maker is the nice look of it
  • Great looking machine, but after one month of use it has started leaking coffee all over the counter we have it on!!!
  • But, not only is it very modern and sleek looking, it also makes very good cafe-style coffee
  • Nevertheless, it gets pretty nasty looking after a few months even though I rinse it daily
  • It’s a very streamline good looking coffee maker and looks great on the counter

Reviews around feature (4.24 of 5)

  • This coffeemaker has several features my previous one lacked: water filter, removable coffee basket, and a warmer that turns itself off after two hours (no more bitter, burned coffee)
  • And this pot doesn't have a "strong" brew button to slow down the brewing process, a feature that many other Mr. Coffee pots have
  • My favorite feature is that the water reservoir is removable for easy cleaning
  • One nice feature is that it shows how long its been since you brewed your last pot of coffee, so you know the status of the coffee in the pot
  • The coffee grounds basket is also removable which is a nice feature

Reviews around carafe (4.12 of 5)

  • It brews fast and hot and the thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot for a few hours
  • It brews the coffee hot and the insulated carafe keeps it hot
  • The carafe is getting very stained, to the point where it looks like it would be dirty
  • The stainless carafe maintains hot coffee, therefore, there is no hot plate to worry about being accidentally burned.
  • The thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot for several hours.

Reviews around pot (4.09 of 5)

  • I am a big coffee drinker and so I have to love my coffee pot
  • It has never leaked all over the counter which makes it a great coffee pot
  • The coffee was ground the same size as initial pot, but for some reason did not drain into the carafe pot and poured out of the basket and all over the place
  • Of course I followed the instructions for first use and my first pot of coffee was gross
  • And for some strange reason every once in a while the pot has the coffee extremely weak

Reviews around cup (4.03 of 5)

  • If you put in the recommended amount of grounds, you get the worlds weakest cup of coffee.
  • This coffee maker makes a fantastic cup of coffee at a good temperature
  • I love my coffee and have never had a bad tasting cup (plastic or Metal

Reviews around taste (3.94 of 5)

  • filters- but coffee taste still does not compare to our old maker - did a blind taste test with our old pot
  • Agree with both the strong plastic taste and the unfortunately very weak coffee brew
  • So, for me, I can use less coffee and get the same great taste, which is a really great benefit
  • Brews quickly, stays hot and since it's a thermal pot there is no burnt coffee taste.
  • Most important to me is a hot good tasting cup of coffee.

Reviews around machine (3.70 of 5)

  • Unfortunately, this machine is a disaster and I can't recommend it to anyone.
  • As a result of not having the heating element going all of the time and drinking all of the coffee that we brew, we expect that this coffee maker is saving us money versus our previous more dangerous machine.
  • This machine is less expensive to use by having regular ground coffee instead of the pricey K-cups
  • This coffee seems just as good as with our slower machine, so they must have something with their claim to have hit the right temperature for the brew to enable them to do it faster
  • Sleek machine, easy to use, no problems, and makes good coffee
  • Read remaining 82 reviews for machine

Reviews around bean (3.61 of 5)

  • There are some great things about this coffee pot, but do not buy if you want (a) strong coffee or (b) to not have to clean up the counter every other day
  • The handful of days we were actually able to USE this coffeemaker, it brewed a poor cup of coffee; we grind our own beans every morning, and use bottled water to help brew the ideal cup
  • Being in a caraffe it does not burn and you can even heat the coffee up in the microwave and its as good as it was when first brewed.
  • We grind our beans fresh each morning because we like the taste of good, strong coffee.

Reviews around water (3.41 of 5)

  • Rinse inside of carafe with hot water first and the coffee will stay piping hot for very long time.
  • and yeah, it put hot water through filtered coffee grounds.
  • When I straightened the pot upright, hot water leaked from around the cap
  • The coffee does not drain from the grounds basket anywhere as fast as the hot water is delivered.

Reviews around brew (3.36 of 5)

  • There's a Fresh Brew timer that lets you know how long the coffee has been ready
  • Fast brew cycle and puts out a very hot and good cup of coffee.
  • The optimal brew helps the coffee to taste like what you would get in a really good diner.
  • Another great feature is a fresh brew that shows you how long your coffee has been waiting.
  • I also adjusted my grinder for a finer grind than I had been previously using to make cold brew coffee.

Reviews around thing leak (3.12 of 5)

  • The carafe fits snug into the housing, and prevents as good as it can to prevent any heat loss for the coffee dripping into it
  • The lid of the carafe could use some revamping to make it easier to clean as I have concerns about what could grow in it over
  • Being in a caraffe it does not burn and you can even heat the coffee up in the microwave and its as good as it was when first brewed.
  • After 3 months of loving the coffee machine, the entire thing leaks
  • This coffee seems just as good as with our slower machine, so they must have something with their claim to have hit the right temperature for the brew to enable them to do it faster

Reviews around coffee stain (3.04 of 5)

  • This coffee seems just as good as with our slower machine, so they must have something with their claim to have hit the right temperature for the brew to enable them to do it faster
  • We used it only for a week and already the dipsticks (look like clear acrylic sticks which are suppose to turn dark color to indicate coffee level) turned ugly brown with coffee stain.
  • Being in a caraffe it does not burn and you can even heat the coffee up in the microwave and its as good as it was when first brewed.
  • Added Mar 1, 16 - The Brew Meter "level indicator" never worked in the beginning and gotten worse since sticks are darkened with coffee stain.
  • The water reservoir is easy to clean as it comes off in a single unit to carry to the sink for a good, soapy wash.

Reviews around plastic (2.79 of 5)

  • Then our plastic lever broke which allows the coffee to flow through the filter and into the carafe
  • The top to the water reservoir is cheap plastic and not as well designed or sturdy as the rest of the coffee maker*
  • concerns.1) Like many commented, the water reservoir did have a strong plastic smell, so I went ahead and did a vinegar cleaning before use, and two more clean water rinses.
  • When you receive yours, it will smell like plastic and the first pot you brew will taste like plastic
  • What I don't like is the strong, unpleasant plastic taste I got from the first dozen or so

  • The next one worked for several months but now the display is so dim it's difficult to see.
  • The carafe fits snug into the housing, and prevents as good as it can to prevent any heat loss for the coffee dripping into it
  • Even after clicking the button to change the setting, the display is not readable.
  • Coffee maker worked well for about 7 months but recently the LED display/clock is very dim to the point we can hardly see the time anymore

Reviews around beep (1.69 of 5)

  • The only complaint I have is when the coffee is finish brewing it gives off a loud beep noise to let you know it is done
  • This one has a shrill beep that was activated this am when i was woken up at 5 am and in NO MOOD
  • It signals with 3 loud beeps when it is finished brewing and when it has been on for 2 hours.
  • Personally the amount of steam seems minimal--"coffee ready beep too loud"
  • Put the 4 cups of vinegar as suggested and within 10 mins of the 45 minute cycle started to make a loud beeping noise that would not go away unless unplugged from the wall

Reviews around coffee grind (1.31 of 5)

  • Beeps when finished making coffee, coffee grinds do not spill into base of container compartment
  • Tried all the suggestions about coffee grinds and using filters but did not help.
  • So take your chances if you like b/c this seems to happen sporadically so maybe you'll get lucky.
  • Attempted to clean the inside of the unit where the tray rests to ensure there weren't coffee grinds clogging the spout to the coffee pot, but this did not resolve it
  • Trying to brew the largest amount will cause coffee grinds to flow out of the basket, thus getting grinds into the areas were the coffee is released to the carafe.
