Thats it, I will never buy a Mr. Coffee coffee maker again.

[BentValve]

Ok, I am a morning coffee drinker...I have my fix in the moring and dont drink it again for the rest of the day.

I am probably on my 12th coffee maker since I left home in 1987 at least
5 of them have been Mr. Coffee brand makers.

The first bad one I remember was one that just did not get hot enough, it never did..I finally threw it out and bought another. I went several years without incident until I bought a Brawn that lasted like 2 months and died. I swore to never spend over $50 on a maker after that.


Anyways about 2 years ago I bought a Mr. Coffee maker and it was jsut poorly designed because it leaked water out around the spout area. After 6-8 months of that I got tired of it and tossed it. I then bought this wonderful $12 no-name maker that I really miss because it never gave me any issues..broke the caraff? on that one.

Bought another Mr. Coffee maker after that and am still using it ...all was fine until one day I went to poor a cup and the damn filter door had
popped open, what a mess. I figured it was a fluke until it happened again. Its not broken, its just a crap design is all..add too much coffee and slow down the filtering process and she gets too heavy and swings open..activating the "sneak a cup" lever and before you know it you have grounds and coffee running all over.

Anyways this one is only 2 months old ..I am done with Mr. Coffee.

Anyone want to recommend a reliable coffee maker? I prefer a standard style filter and just plain coffee...I dont want anything fancy , I just want some hot coffee in the morning.

wtf, B&D, in general, makes the_worst_ products wrt reliability across most of their product lines. Tools, coffee makers, whatever it is....

Krups is good. A little pricier but you get what you pay for.

 

[sniperruff]

barun has been great

the free one from gevalia is pretty good too.

I think my next one will be a Zojirushi.

My Mr Coffee coffeemaker is 10+ years old. No problems whatsoever.

I have a Bunn. they type that has a hot water resivoir and when you pour in the cold water it forces the stored hot water out. it brews a pot in 2 minutes. you can get them at walmart, sears, kmart for $99.99. well worth the money.

this one.

Hmm..a quick little research and I see these warmerless makers could be pretty nice , since it always seems only the first cup tastes good with a traditional maker.


thanks..not sure i will go with that one but I am going to look for a warmerless maker.

1. I'm on my third BUNN in 25 years.

Delonghi,Krups

 

[Soapy Bones]

I have a B&D

Definitely no problems with it getting hot at all. I use cold water and it still has to sit for a minute to be tolerable in the cup.

relatively basic model with 2hr shutoff but its still good. Only problem that i've ever had was one time I didnt put the pot in the right way or something and water went all over. just a one time thing.


I'd give it a recommendation

 

[Anubis]

get a french press

 

[K1052]

Bunn coffee makers are almost indestructible.

 

[biggestmuff]

Since you don't drink that much coffee...

Bodum french press

 

[thirdlegstump]

I have a Cuisineart that's been solid for the last 2-3 years I've had it. It was about $100 but it was well worth it.

 

[IGBT]

..for gawds sakes get yer self a Cuisinart machine. Got mine at costco. Leave the Mr.Coffee contraption out at the curb.

That's the one I have. It's a little cheaper now at $80.

 

[Rumpltzer]

I've got a cheap Mr. Coffee 10-cup maker with a clock on it so I can set it to make coffee before I wake up. It's worked for seven years so far with no problem. I've even washed the thing pretty intensely (pretty much submerging the thing in water). I let it dry out for a couple of days, and it keeps on going.

..that's it. And I gave one to my sister for Christmas. She and the family love it. I got a silver one and I gave her a black one. Well built and easy to clean

If you only drink a cup or two at a time, try this system:

Melitta one cup manual coffee maker

It is a plastic cone that sits atop your coffee cup. You place a paper cone filter in the cup, put in your coffee grounds, and pour hot water into the grounds. You will have to get a kettle or boil water in the microwave. In some ways it is much easier than an electric coffee maker, and it is a lot easier to clean up than a french press. It makes a really good cup of coffee.
