Good coffee but Engineering flaws Aug 11, 2010
Just like others said, makes good coffee and keeps it hot for half-a-day nicely, but... the "wand" that puts the water into the basket keeps knocking down the back of the filter, then grounds get go through and start to clog things up. Been using it three months and it does it at least once a week. Also if you removed the pot while brewing, the device that is supposed to stop the flow will not seal tightly and coffee keeps pouring through. I had an older model for several years that worked much better in these respects.
 Great Little Coffee Pot Aug 07, 2010
Despite a couple negative reviews, I purchased this coffeemaker for my office. It has not let me down. Coffee brews in about 7 minutes, tastes great, and has stayed hot for over 1 1/2 hours. Some reviews mentioned that coffee spilled everywhere if you didn't close the carafe correctly. I'm not sure why that's an issue - you simply line up two arrows with each other and it's no problem!

 Poor performance plus bad design Jul 13, 2010
I tried for a month to like this coffee maker, pre-heating the pot, etc. But the brutal truth is that the water just isn't as hot as it should be from the start. The cup you pour right after brewing is just barely hot enough, and it's downhill from there.
Then, just as I was getting ready to give up anyway, the carafe started leaking at the seam between the stainless part and the plastic upper part that supports the handle and lid. I investigated and discovered a piece of really poor engineering, where a sharp rim of the stainless is forced against a very thin soft gasket in a way pretty much guaranteed to cut through it, after which you get little leaks that create stains on the side of the pot and, on especially good days, manage to dump enough of your freshly-brewing coffee on the counter to make a real mess.
Forget it. This is a piece of junk. (Sad too, since some other Mr. Coffee makers have been favorites of mine.)

 Nice design, good coffee maker wish it came with the filtration system and filter basket May 22, 2010
I like the coffee maker, I do wish it came with the filtration system and the permanent filter.
I did pay about $8 more for it on amazon, than the other retail stores were selling it for,
I wonder if amazon will price match it. The product itself, is programmable and the feature
seems nice. I did get an 8 cup so I am looking for the permanent filter that matches it vs.
the 10-12 cup suggested. I did see a generic one for $4.99 at another site I am considering.
Overall, I think I am happy with it. Will write again after further use to discuss it more.
The instruction do clearly tell you to warm the crafe with hot water and empty the hot water
before use, that is probably what people are forgetting.
