I'd pass on this one...

Within a couple weeks of getting this coffee pot, we had an overflow incident. All over the counter. Then it would brew only half and stop. So I read the manual and did the clean cycle, even only after this short of period. It would work okay for awhile, and then do the same thing. Or often grounds are in our coffee or tea. Cleaning it doesn't help any more.

Overflow disaster

2008-07-28
I bought this coffee pot as a gift for my boyfriend. When he became my husband, it became my coffee pot. It's horrible!!!! I've read a lot of reviews about other coffee pots overflowing and leaking all over the counter/floor, but none that complain that this model does that. Ours has overflowed at least ten times. We have the model with the stainless steel carafe, so that may be the difference--i don't know. The coffee is not that hot when it comes out of the machine, and the carafe does not keep the coffee hot at all. In fact, once i put cream in it, I have to put it in the microwave to heat it up. It's a nice looking machine, and it makes a decent cup of coffee when it works, which is why i gave it one star.

Buy something else

This coffee pot lasted 7 months. Just slowly stopped working. Started with coffee grounds in my coffee, then not very hot. Today not working at all brewed 4 cups and died. The clock never did work properly like all the other models and I doubt I will buy another. Not sure why but the cheapest coffee pot you can buy with no frills seem to run longer than med or expensive pots. I seem to be going through coffee pots one after another cheap foreign crap.---Good luck to you finding quality.

Good at first, but didn't last

I agree with the two above reviews as far as they go, but I've had mine for a year now, and it now makes the weakest coffee on earth. At first, running it through the cleaning cycle solved the problem, but now nothing helps. I use twice the amount of coffee I used to use to get the same result. That's an expensive cup of coffee!!! I also run it through the cleaning cycle once a week (I only make coffee once a day, so that's excessive.) Not to mention the hassle of having to clean it so often. It takes an hour to run through the clean cycle, and then you have to make a full pot of hot water twice to clean the vinegar/cleaning solution out of the coffee maker. I just cleaned it yet again, made coffee, and it tastes like muddy water.

Nice Coffee Maker

I have been using this coffee maker for two months and like it a lot. I bought it mainly because it is almost unique in having an adjustable warmer plate, so that you can adjust the warmer plate to how many cups are left. Very useful. But easy to forget, as you take cups, and leave it too high. A white mark on the knob would be nice, so that its position is easier to read/notice. Other nice features of this product: 1) Two hour automatic shut off with visual indicator of time left. Sounds corny but actually quite nice. 2) Beep when brewed coffee is ready. 3) Pot pours much better than most. 4) Easy to use. (I've never tried using the clock stuff.) 5) Good water level indicators. The only negatives that I've found are that it's fairly tall and might not fit some places, and it looses at least 1/2 cup of water in grounds and left all over the inside of the tank.

Excellent value!

Form follows function with a sleek coffee maker, and the Double Wall Stainless Steel Thermal Carafe that keeps coffee piping hot. The Brushed Chrome Accents pair perfectly with today's stainless-steel kitchens. And Mr. Coffee'
