    Will return as soon as I get a chance. Water does not go through the filter properly resulting with only a small portion of grounds used. Coffee comes out horrible. Looking further into it, there have been many other people with this complaint. Why would they even keep it for sale with this defect???

    It is very simple to use. That is the good part. But the other side is that I wish it has little bit more options. All in all not bad.

    Have purchased two of these in the past two years. I have ultimately had issues with the machines leaking inexplicably on my counters. After having this happen several times, decided to opt for a better machine. The carafe does keep the coffee hot though.

    The carafe leaks when it reaches the line where plastic meets metals when the coffee is brewing and when pouring. Thought I was seeing things and made a second pot, nope, it leaks. Wanted to return but after calling Mr Coffee customer service, I learned this is a known problem. A solid metal carafe design would've eliminated this issue. Too bad. As for my return with Best Buy, it went smoothly, 5-Star Customer Service. Wound up getting a pretty plain Mr Coffee Quick Brew, glass carafe, very happy with it.

    overall nice machine, however very basic.. the product descript mentioned that you can control flavors, as well as brewing strength, false - you cannot do either or. all the buttons on the front are all very basic buttons for the clock and start timer... a lot cooler/fancier ones out there.. wish I would have shopped around more... whatever

    Nice design, but the hot water to make coffee is not enough to release the flavor and that's the reason I returned it. A $10 coffee maker makes enough hot water so your coffee smells and tastes like coffee.

    Not steel, not BPA Free

    Caption says "Stainless Steel/Black". This is misleading. Only the front has a steel veneer; the rest of it is plastic. I was misled into believing the black is also steel. If you look at the specifications, it says it is NOT BPA free plastic. I cannot believe a manufacturer like Mr Coffee does not use BPA free plastic. If you go to their website and search for "BPA", there are zero results - this means they don't even care for BPA - unlike most other manufacturers. I will return this unused.
