 Not Bad - Good BuyMay 12, 2010
By CatMeister
Bought this model at walmart for [...] as I had a gift card for there. Have used daily for about 6 weeks - usu. make about 8 cups. There have been no issues and the coffee tastes good for this economy model. Pause-n-serve works fine...can occasionly drip as all these models do when using that feature. Just keep a small napkin to wipe it off burner before setting carafe back on it. If you pull the carafe between "burps" (when the coffee actually drips through), you can virtually eliminate or minimze the drip. Easy to clean, the 2/hr shutoff works fine, and the timed brew feature works fine (as long as power doesn't go off over night). Overall it was a great buy in my opinion. The last Mr. Coffee I had (similiar unit) lasted 15 years...I can only hope this one lasts half that long. I even kept and use the same gold filter unit from the old one & it works fine on this model.
NOTE: Save the grounds and use on houseplants, in garden, and on small trees. Keeps insects away esp ants. The trees/plants absorbed the caffeine which doesn't hurt them - the insects can't tolerate it. I've been doing this for 20 years and works great.

 Had the potential to be a great coffeemakerAug 30, 2008
By cguillau
I was very excited when I first bought this coffeemaker five weeks ago. It had everything I wanted in a coffeemaker. It was very stylish, convenient, easy to use, did not drip when pouring, was programmable, made a good cup of coffee, had cord storage, wasn't too large, had automatic shut-off after 2 hrs., etc. Too bad it stopped working after only 5 weeks of light use. I used it 3 to 4 times a week for one pot at a time. All of the sudden, the water wouldn't come through. I tried cleaning it as recommended, but to no avail. All it did was sputter and steam up my whole kitchen. Maybe I got a dud, but I returned it to Walmart and bought a different brand. Too bad, since I had such high hopes for this one.

 It's really great for the priceMar 30, 2010
By F. Lawrence
"Too Taxed"
So far this has been a wonderful product. We have had it about five weeks and use it five times a week. It is easy to use, makes great,hot coffee and looks good on the counter.
Our previous coffee maker was a Mr. Coffee which lasted about fifteen years. We looked at and researched many brands. For the price and given the service that we got from the previous Mr. coffee maker we went with this model.
The pot is easy to pour from with no drips. There are no grounds in the coffee. There is an occasional drip onto the hot plate when you remove the pot, but not every time. It is easy to fill with water and coffee. The brewing time for nine cups is about fourteen minutes. There is a gurgling sound toward the end of the brewing cycle but it is not loud. We are well pleased with our purchase.

 Function Without Longevity Is UselessJan 03, 2011
By Chris LaVesser
"Goofball on bowed legs"
The Good:
I liked this pot because it was simple and had the basic essential functions - Simple to use, programmable, auto shut-off, good capacity, and no useless frills. From the moment I set it up I was pleased with its performance and ease of use.
The Bad:
Like other reviewers have mentioned, this coffee maker is not long for this world. After 4 short months of use, the pump failed. The coffee maker now spurts, chokes, and cries its way through each pot. And the surges of water into the basket will often displace the filter, meaning grounds can end up anywhere.
I am a fan of simple devices because simple devices usually have less complexity, and therefore, fewer failure modes. I had high hopes this would be one of those products. But alas, it failed anyway.
Note: The failure is not due to high levels of deposits in my water. My previous coffee maker endured more than 5 years of my tap water, and probably would have gone on longer, had I not broken it. And my clothes iron has endured the same 5 years of tap water, and it still performs admirably.
Be careful with this pot; it gets tired too quickly.

Had high hopes but let me down in so many ways!Dec 27, 2011
By S.Brown
I thought this would be a great coffee maker for the price..everything could ask for plus a little more in the same price range. I have had so many problems with this coffee pot! I'd love to get rid of it in a heart beat!
1. when you pour the coffee it leaks every where! After writing to the company they sent a new pot..which worked for a couple of weeks and then the same problem has occurred again!
2. It takes about 15 minutes to brew a pot of coffee also.
3. Sneak a cup feature doesn't work long enough to sneak a cup.
4. It does turn off in 2 hours but also shuts off while brewing if you need to brew another pot in those 2 hours of the first pot.
5. The buttons start to stick probably from the coffee leaking on to them.
I don't feel this is a safe pot anymore to leave plugged in all the time because of the "sticky" buttons. The programmable feature is nice so that would be something I may look for in a new purchase but not a must have if it brews faster than this one. I would not purchase this maker again or the same brand..didn't live up to what I was hoping it would!
