    Mr. Coffee BVMC-PSTX95 10-Cup Optimal Brew Thermal Coffee Maker, Stainless Steel

    • What I don't like is the strong, unpleasant plastic taste I got from the first dozen or so
    • I hate the taste of burned coffee.
    • Right now I'm using Dunkin Donuts regular blend, and it's a wonderful rich taste, but I'm looking forward to trying other brands, too.2
    • Agree with both the strong plastic taste and the unfortunately very weak coffee brew
    • still stays warm and coffee tastes great.
    • I love the taste of a good cup of coffee!!!
    • It comes with a replaceable carbon filter for improved water taste.
    • this one BY FAR brews the BEST tasting coffee ever!
    • The coffee tastes good, like a filter should taste
    • I ran several pots of coffee through it and eventually cut through the new coffee pot taste, but I noticed that I was using at least 30% more coffee and yet still had a weaker tasting brew
    • Because the coffee is kept warm by the insulted carafe rather than by a "hot plate" like my old coffee maker, it stays fresh tasting and never ends up tasting burnt.
    • makes great tasting coffee and got this Mr Coffee at a better price thru Amazon with free shipping-great deal
    • Good French Roast tastes like 7-11 decaf
    • Makes great tasting coffee is just minutes!
    • We use high quality coffee but have to put a ton of grounds in to get a decent tasting pot.
    • If your water is filtered already, the extra filters aren't going to improve the taste.
    • The plastic taste does go away after about 3 daysIf you like the look here, you will like it in your home
    • It does everything great including making the greatest tasting Coffee.
    • I give it four stars because it makes very good tasting coffee in under eight minutes for a full pot, and it is reasonably priced.
    • The lift-away reservoir makes filling super easy from the fridge dispenser eliminating the need for the extra water filter that comes with the potIt looks goodCons:It does have a strong metallic smell (and taste) at first.
    • However, it is worth the increase in this Thermal Brew, because each drop, no matter how much later you drink it, tastes like rich gourmet coffee, smooth and evenly balanced
    • The "bloom" feature wets the coffee grounds before brewing, that helps make that great taste!
    • We'll see whether this unit was worth the money after I get my first cup of great tasting coffee.
    • Bu i love the carafe style no burnt coffee taste from a hot plate.
    • Taste improved a bit
    • We have poor tasting water which the carbon filters seem to do a good job mitigating
    • Great tasting coffee.
    • bottom line, this machine makes THE worst coffee i've ever tasted.
    • Second, the machine will never produce a consistent tasting cup of coffee
    • Nice concept but seems to require more coffee to get same strong taste as my previous coffee maker.
    • You won't get a good tasting cup of coffee from a coffee maker after it has been sitting on a hot plate for 2 hrs, so with that said I definatly recommend this coffee maker with the thermal pot, no hot plate to overcook your coffee
    • It’s always weak, yet somehow burnt tasting
    • Makes great tasting coffee and the themal pot keeps the coffee very hot.
    • I love the pot, it makes some of the best tasting coffee I have ever drank, however I cannot recommend purchase because apparently they don't support the consumer
    • This machine pre-soaks the grounds to bring out a bit more flavor, then it brews at a full 205 degrees for better taste
    • this carafe keeps it nice and fresh tasting
    • filters- but coffee taste still does not compare to our old maker - did a blind taste test with our old pot
    • Better yet, the coffee will stay fresh and pleasant-tasting instead of getting all burnt and nasty like on my old Bunn.
    • However the coffee has a strong metallic taste
    • First, the water filter idea doesn't work, makes the coffee taste bad
    • Fast, hot, easy to keep clean, quiet, holds temp without cooking the coffee, and makes great tasting coffee.
    • What I don't like is the strong, unpleasant plastic taste I got from the first dozen or so
    • So, going to stick to strong coffee to be able to use less (actually this saves money, as quality coffee is expensive) coffee grounds and enjoy my awesome lookin', great tasting coffee
    • We grind our beans fresh each morning because we like the taste of good, strong coffee.
    • Just what I expected, great taste in a hurry - no plastic taste at all.
    • The plastic taste wasn't as strong from the next pot of coffee, but by the pot after that, the chemical flavor was back in full force
    • This is the best and easiest coffee pot I have ever had , and the coffee taste great!I got the 12 cup and it was well worth the price difference.
    • Smooth tasting coffee, made quickly
    • It isn't a gimmick--it really produces a smooth, rich taste
    • Brews quickly, stays hot and since it's a thermal pot there is no burnt coffee taste.
    • What I don't love is the SUPER strong plastic smell/taste
    • Really works and makes great tasting coffee
    • Most important to me is a hot good tasting cup of coffee.
    • I love my coffee and have never had a bad tasting cup (plastic or Metal
    • The insulated pot really makes good taste of coffee last longer because you're not heating it for hours.
    • It comes out very hot, the carafe keeps it hot and the taste is great.
    • The coffee tastes great
    • , it doesn't get that bitter taste like the other coffee makers that sit on a hot plate and have large openings for air to get in.
    • So, for me, I can use less coffee and get the same great taste, which is a really great benefit
    • The next morning I made a full pot of coffee following the included instructions, everyone was amazed at the great taste of the coffee
    • I'd look elsewhere if the taste of the coffee is important to you.
    • Easy setup and use, but the coffee tastes terrible!
    • Works as you would expect, keep that java flowing!
    • Second, if I put more than 3 tablespoons of ground coffee in the reusable basket, that I had to order on its own, tons of ground coffee gets blasted everywhere in the basket and water filter, as well as coming through into the coffee.
    • I have a Keurig coffee maker and as much as I love the convenience, the cost of buying k-cups daily is expensive and the coffee is not always as strong as in a coffee maker
    • 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.
    • Does not spread the water over the grains as well as it could, but not badly either.
    • 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.
    • 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
