The best coffee maker I've owned

The best coffee maker I've owned. It is important to read the user manual so that you can take care of it as you should and ensure it performs 100% right all the time. I didn't read the manual with the 1st one I bought, so there was some humidity that damaged the lcd screen and buttons (had the previous one for about 2 yrs, pretty good still I think!).
I usually grind my coffee beans at night, right before bed and just set it up for 6 am. Coffee stays warm 'til noon! Amazing. Also love that carafe is not glass, as I used to accidentally break all my pots of different coffee makers before.

There is no burner to help to keep the coffee hot. Temperature control is solely reliant on the insulated pot. The pot itself needs to be preheated beforehand, otherwise the coffee will not be hot enough.

We loved this coffee maker, so this is the second one we've owned after our first one died after about 4+ years of constant use.
The design has slightly changed but we can still use the same decanter from the old one.
Makes about 8 cups of coffee in about 5 minutes and it stays hot in the insulated decanter at least 4 hours.
You can also set it up so that you can get it ready at night and it will automatically start at the time you preset it to in the morning.

Best Coffee Pot Ever

I bought this coffee maker because I was moving and wanted a clean appliance on my new kitchen counter. A review from an online source said it was very fast which appealed to me. I also prefer a thermal carafe over a burner which allows for the coffee to stay hot without becoming burnt. I have had it now for 4 1/2 months and appreciate the easy to fill removable water reservoir which I prefer to the traditional pour in the top version. I have over the years become accustomed to the simple operation and good enough taste of the simple Mr. Coffee machines and this one has met my expectations. For the price, this coffee pot looks good, keeps my coffee warm without a burner, and makes good coffee.

I love that the coffee pot is stainless steel. I’ve had a problem in the past with roommates breaking the coffee pot. This one will not break :-) the coffee pot looks durable and has all the features I need to set the piot for the next day to brew. I highly recommend

My favorite part of this coffee pot, is the water reservoir.
Usually you pour the water directly from the coffee pot,
doesn't take long for your maker to need cleaning.
With this one, the water is always clean, keeping your pot
clean.
And you can't beat getting a second pot hours later and the coffee is still hot in the pot, without making it stronger like a glass decanter.
I use mine everyday and will state, I replace mine about every 4-5 years. I keep the pot so when I have extra people over I can make more than one pot and have it ready. I think if I cleaned it more regularly it would probably last for years longer.

We were hesitant to buy this model because of reviews from different sites. However we are glad went ahead and got this when it went on sale and we had a coupon which brought the price down to that of other low to mid range models.
The fact that we no longer need to move the entire maker to add water and coffee, plus the thermal carafe make this a great coffee maker. And despite the fact that the coffee does not stay as hot, as long as our previous maker it still remains fairly warm for a couple of hours. I also appreciate that the light can be adjusted down so the entire kitchen is not bathed in the glowing light of digital numbers.
Our only complaint is that it is a paltry 10 cups. 12 or 14 would make this The PERFECT maker.
Maybe it is a hit or miss with this particular maker. We must be in the fortunate camp because this coffee maker rocks.

Large But Stylish

Brews great tasting coffee quickly and keeps it hot and fresh without burning much longer than traditional drip makers. The thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot and the aroma lock system works well, but don't expect it to taste freshly brewed after an hour or so. (It's still drinkable, though.) The maker appears large, but takes up the same amount of counter space as any other Mr. Coffee and the sleek design fits with any modern kitchen. Like most Mr. Coffee makers it includes one water filter to improve the flavor of your tap, but if you use bottled or filtered water you probably won't need it.

It makes coffee in about 7 minutes for 10 cups. Easy to clean and the thermal carafe is great. Coffee doesn't taste as good as my previous Mr. Coffee drip coffee maker, but it's still good coffee and this carafe won't break.
I recommend running vinegar and then a few cycles of water before the first use. There is a plastic-y smell/taste initially if you don't.

I've used several (too many) coffee makers, Yes I know this one is a little high in price, but you'll get your money worth. It makes coffee fast and keep it hot for a long period (about 5 hours) without having to keep it continuously being heated like the other types of coffee makers.
