    Mr. Coffee Optimal Brew 10-Cup Thermal Coffeemaker System, BVMC-PSTX91-RB

    • And I'm glad that this machine does work for some people who have given it positive reviews, because when it works, it's great!HOWEVER, all the reviews about the thing leaking are true, and I must offer a mea culpa to all those folks since
    • This unit was well reviewed, fell within our price range and had a carafe
    • I am very happy with this purchase, and am glad I did not listen to the negative reviews
    • For the life of me, I cannot understand the positive reviews on this machine
    • Some of the negative reviews for this one made me hesitant to buy it
    • I was somewhat surprised by all the negative reviews for just about everything else (including this model)
    • When I didn't see anything foreign that looked right for me, I decided (based on the great reviews here) to try this unit
    • Other reviews also mentioned a steam issue.
    • Even if it performs well in the future, these glitches effect the process everyday and can't be ignored when reviewing.
    • I'll update this review if things change but so far the positive reviews seem way off
    • I chose to get this coffee maker because, after reading the reviews, it appeared that the negative reviews were likely a consequence of user error
    • I suspect if you read more negative reviews on Amazon, the weak-coffee issue will pop up again and again
    • Read all the reviews, bad, good & great
    • Onto the great review that is my coffee maker!!!It comes with a water filter, and a little red tab thing that tells you which month you need to replace the filter
    • Please disregard my original review
    • So I disregarded those reviews because Mr. Coffee has always produced a good product that I have used for 30-40 years
    • I hate to leave a negative review for any product, but this coffee maker is a unit I suggest you pass on.
    • I was a little hesitant because there were quite a few negative reviews, but decided to take a chance because it had the features I wanted.
    • I wanted to give this product a glowing review
    • I had great hopes for this coffee maker after the good reviews and maybe the problem is just something wrong with this particular
    • Most reviews of this machine are positive and accurately portray the performance of the coffee maker.
    • Some reviews made me wonder if it would be hot enough, but I am pleased to say it is plenty hot.
    • After using this for only one week, I believe the negative reviews are the fault of user not the pot!
    • It doesn't taste any more like plastic than any other plastic made machine on the market (and trust me, I've tried a few!), so don't let a single bad review turn you off to it!With that said, if you're a coffee snob, you're not going to like this machine
    • Other reviews have mentioned leakage issues
    • Don't know about some of these silly reviews
    • Speaking of: I left a negative review there, and they emailed me, asking me to call so they could "help in regards to solving this issue
    • I was skeptical at first, I read all the positive reviews and figured i would give it a try
    • Other reviews are accurate in stating the need to "season" the machine to get rid of the initial plastic taste, but in my experience this is common
    • This got the best reviews and I bought it, plugged it in, and proceeded to make a cup of coffee at about 5AM.
    • Purchased one of these because it is good looking and has mostly good reviews.
    • understand the bad reviews.
    • I had read all the reviews about leaking, weak coffee, etc, but trust me
    • This unit was well reviewed, fell within our price range and had a carafe
    • Can't understand some of the negative reviews.
    • I haven't given many bad reviews, but its needed here.
    • If I could give it a negative review I would.
    • I wanted to love this coffee maker after I read so many good reviews on different websites
    • If the replacement decanter is not marred, and the coffeemaker brews a quality pot that stays warm for a few hours, I will be a happy camper and will bump up this review by two or three stars
    • I have seen other reviews of people criticizing this complaint by saying the pot does not
    • I agree, it added a little bit more time on to my process to make coffee, however I Soli purchase this machine due to the fact it had great reviews on keeping the coffee hot
    • All of the bad reviews were accurate - it floods, it leaves coffee grounds in the coffee, it does not keep coffee as hot as it claims.
    • The negative reviews posted here are mostly related to 'How to use your machine', not to "What your machine does"
    • I am not sure about the bad reviews
    • I’ll get right to reason why I think this model is getting bad reviews - the filter.
    • The hottest I was able to get out of room temperature water (~76°f) was 175°f, well below the billed brewing temperature.
    • Finally, a full bodied cup of coffee - but - it was older and wasn't keeping the coffee as hot as I liked
