Mr. Coffee12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, Brew Now or Later

I have always had a Me coffee, decided to get new one, the old one I've had for years and still works. Reason I bought another Mr Coffee works great and came with a reusable filter. So nice.

The clock runs about 2 to 1 making the timer useless. Like most things from amazon lately, not only was it late but it's junk.Update: I figured out the clock problem. Had to find the resolution on the internet on redit. Mr. Coffee people didn't have a clue.Update: Clock went back to running to fast after about 3 hours. So i drained it. Threw it to the floor, stomped it a bit and took the pieces to the dumpster. Then I went to Walmart and got a good Bunn coffee maker for about 20 bucks more. But it's a 100 bucks more in quality. What I should have done in the first place. Don't waste your good money on this corporate/government sanctioned rip off of the American people.

Good size and very practical to make the coffee. It keeps the coffee hot for hours and it’s fast. The only thing I noticed, is that it is a little messy to clean it. But very good overall.

For years I purchased Mr. Coffee machines. They were reasonably priced, reliable, and I could always buy replacement carafes if one broke. I had my last machine for probably 8 years before the "delay" brew feature started to give out, and as I was moving anyway I figured I would just say goodbye to that machine and order a new one when I reached my new destination. This one looked more or less analogous in look and features to the last one, I ordered it and waited for it to arrive. When it finally did, I first thought the box was empty because it felt so light weight. I opened it to find it did indeed contain a machine, however. To my dismay, it was clear that it was nowhere near the quality of even a few years ago. The plastic walls of the coffee maker are paper thin, the glass carafe is paper thin, the metal plating/warmer is paper thin.....the whole thing is cheap and very, very light weight and flimsy and felt like it was made of styrofoam. When I plugged it in and tried to set the clock and timer, it lit up, fizzled, and died....it was defective, and I was not at all surprised. I sent it back and decided to go shop in-person at a local store to see if maybe I just made a bad selection, but sadly ALL the Mr. Coffee machines are this bad or worse; I had actually chosen a higher-end model and most of them are just basic "push the button" level now. It's sad to see a formerly reliable brand degrade so far. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this or any products from this brand anymore, and I've had to switch to another lesser well known manufacturer that hasn't jumped to the "as cheap as we can get away with" mode of production.

When my complicated coffeemaker quit working, I went looking for something simpler to replace it. This one can be easily programed to turn itself on at a specific time, and it turns itself off after 4 hours, not the usual 2. It does not connect to Bluetooth or other connections, but I found with my last pot that I didn't need that.

Hey I've tried many different brands of a drip coffee maker and I must say, Mr. Coffee is the best.Ease of use, large opening for the water reservoir, good hot coffee.I won't buy another brand at this point.And the geniuses at Mr. Coffee made it an automatic shut off after 4 hours instead of the usual 2.That is brilliant! Whoever implemented this change should get a promotion.

Easy to use, makes great coffee, easy to clean, basic features but it's all we need with the "brew later" programming option.
