You would think by now the Mr. Coffee folks would know how to make a coffee maker, but this one was apparently designed by people who have never brewed a cup of coffee in their lives.
If the carafe isn't in just the right position, you wake up to a puddle of coffee on yourr counter and floor. Unfortunately, I cannot tell what the right position is--it just overflows randomly.
As if that wasn't bad enough, the clock display is right above the carafe. As the coffee brews, the steam infiltrates the clock and fills it full of condensation, making it very difficult to read. After a few months of this, the clock quits working altogether and you cannot set a delayed brew. You read correctly: this coffeemaker kills it's own clock!
I will NEVER buy a Mr. Coffee product again.

I was looking for a reasonably priced coffee maker that got the job done without too many bells & whistles.This appliance is excellent, autoomatic on & off, warming plate up to two hours, NO-Drip carafe!It is simple and efficient and makes a great cup of Joe.KQ
This is a great little brewer for anyone who wants to brew just one quick cup or when you don't need to make a full pot.I use it when I leave early AM for the airport hours before the family wakes up.Green Tree supplies this unit with 50 pods of terrific coffee too.It's fast, quiet, and I think I'll easily save the cost of this brewer in coffee we don't pour out down the drain. Highly recommended.
The carafe pours smoothly without dripping all over everything and the basket cover drip is stopped by steam release vents. The cone filter improves coffee flavor and eliminates the grounds from overflowing. Now I don't ask myself if I really turned off the coffee pot after I leave. I have experienced a black charred carafe but no more potential fires. It has the coffee ready in the morning giving me extra precious minutes. The basket placement issue is easily solved by leaving the carafe off the hot plate until the basket is properly installed. The black stainless is sharp and does not show the coffee stain that makes the white look dirty. Love this inexpensive pot and bought a second one to improve my daily experience while at our cabin.
