    I love these coffee makers. I OWN 4! They are fast brewing and reliable. Stainless is nice. Thermo pot is awesome. Nice display and interface.

    Carafe is better than glass carafe, maintains hot temp of your coffee. only down size is the digital clock does not have battery support, you have to keep on resetting the digital clock everytime you plug the coffee maker to the outlet.

    Great coffee maker for those who still prefer drip coffee. Removable reservoir is amazing, and the thermal carafe works perfectly for 5-7 hours. The coffee does cool down some, but still perfect for drinking right out of the pot.

    I love 3 things about this coffee maker. 1: it has a charcoal filter before the water runs through your coffee. 2: removable reservoir. And last: there is no hot plate that can causw a fire hazard. The thermal carafe keeps your coffee hot all day long!

    A decent basic coffee machine with QC issues

    There are definitely QC issues with this model of coffee maker. The first one had a leaky thermal carafe where the plastic meets the steel. Also it would leak water from somewhere else. I returned that one and the new one seems to work just fine. The carafe is not as good as others in terms of keeping the coffee hot, but I wouldn't let coffee sit for more than an hour or two anyway. There are no temperature controls for the water and the auto brew function is not really easy to use with the limited buttons. Overall, I will keep it but it is a basic Mr. Coffee machine with a thermal carafe, which is what I would looking for.

    I've used it for over two months and have no complaints. Coffee definitely tastes better than from the older, cheaper coffee maker I was using. There have been no leaks or other problems. I like how the thermal carafe keeps the brew warm for hours without having to use electricity to keep it heated.

    There are multiple features that are very nice. The fact that it shuts off after brewing is phenomenal. The keeps the coffe flavor at its best. There is an extra filter. This is not a necessity. In facr the filter is falling apart already. It has very good programmable timing. A good design for cleaning all of the nooks and crannies. Negatives include: If you are someone that empties out all of the water after each use, you ha e to allow for an unknown amount of additional water when adding the water. It brews too hot. In my opinion... far too hot. I wish that the temperature could be adjusted. This might simply be my perspective. Yet if you prefer your java at a cooler temperature then this is not for you.

    Coffee maker is excellent! Love the water section, no more filling the coffee pot then pouring the water inside. The carnage keeps the coffee hormones fir several hours. The stainless steel finish is very nice. Got it on sale for only $50!

    First coffee maker. Pleased so far. Fills in easily if you want to set it up the night before. Press one button & you're good in the AM. Difficult to clean afterwards if you are hand cleaning. Not sure when to replace the filter that comes with it. I use the disposable filters anyway.

    I love this coffeemaker. The nicest feature is not needing a warming plate like on most glass pot coffee makers. The pot holds heat for hours, saving lots of energy just keeping your coffee warm.

    We purchased this coffee pot because of the Thermal carafe. We have slate floors and if we dropped a glass one that would be all she wrote. The Thermal Carafe keeps the coffee warm for hours. It is perfect for my husband and I.

    This is my second Mr. Coffee with Thermal Carafe purchase. As my first was worn out, I shopped around and nothing else compares to the convenience of the thermal carafe keeping your coffee warm and not burning it, delayed brew, and clean modern design. CAUTION: The only issue I have is you MUST make sure that the carafe is completely empty when brewing or you'll wake up with coffee flowing everywhere! The new version has "touch free" controls that are pretty cool too.

    We had a coffee maker that did not shut off automatically and after returning home a few times to fins a carafe with nothing but carbon left in it, we figured it was time for a change. This makes good coffee and is much safer to use than our previous maker. Very reasonably priced.

    This coffeemaker was a great upgrade for my dad'd basic coffee maker. He usually drinks a whole pot on the weekends. The thermal carafe allows him to bring it with him to the table just like at breakfast restaurants while keeping it nice and hot. It's definitely something he appreciates.

    I am a picky coffee drinker and I love a good cup of coffee. This pot does a great job because of its filtration and thermal decanter. The coffee does not burn and stays warm for 4 to 5 hours in the thermal coffee carafe.
