Mr. Coffee FTX29 12-Cup Coffeemaker, Red Review

I've read some bad reviews for this coffeemaker, but based on the reputation of Mr. Coffee (and the drop-dead good looks) we decided to buy it anyway.

I'm glad we did.

We've had it for a few months and with no coddling or extra care it has faithfully performed its daily duty without any problems whatsoever. It is beautiful, easy to clean, makes good coffee, and did I mention beautiful? We use it every day we are at home (which has been all but a couple), and I have done nothing except put coffee in it, fill it with water, and press "brew now" every day. Oh, and rinse out the decanter along with an occasional hand-wash.

The removable filter basket is nice, too, although we also have a reusable "gold" filter basket that we remove instead. The adjustable warmer temperature keeps the coffee at what I consider a "drinkable" temperature. The auto-off function is nice, but it comes with an audible alert that may or may not be to your liking. It also beeps when the coffee is done brewing. Once again, could be annoying but I haven't had an issue with it.

I do have a few small issues with it, but they are very minor. The Melitta fast brew machine it replaced made coffee that I think tasted *slightly* better and it certainly made that coffee faster. The Mr. Coffee will not win any races. I would attribute the taste to the "V" shaped filters/basket used by Melitta. As for speed, set the timer if you need it to be done by a certain time.

I really haven't done anything special to maintain the machine and it has been flawless. Maybe the folks over at Mr. Coffee responded to complaints and made improvements? Maybe the folks who have written bad reviews are Cuisinart employees trying to sabotage their competitor? (kidding) Either way, don't be afraid to trust your morning elixir to this stylish and functional coffeemaker.
