THE worst coffee maker ever !!, (What's this?) I decided to purchase this coffee maker because our Cuisinart's carafe decided to spring a major leak and the coffee wasn't tasting so good any longer. Rather than replace the carafe, we decided on a new machine. Prior to this, we were using a BUNN but didn't care for the machine being on all the time to keep the water hot.
I read all of the reviews on this Mr. Coffee and figured that between us we could deal with all the design quirks. We also assumed that the manufacturer would have eliminated the burning rubber/plastic odor after so many complaints. What a mistake that was! You could smell it as soon as it came out of the box and it's definitely inherent in the plastic used in the unit. I cleaned it with vinegar numerous times, coffee maker cleaner, everything imaginable. Hot water, cold water and I even let everything "air out" by leaving the cover open and disassembling the components. Dishwashing didn't help at all. This was not a little odor but could recognized just walking into my kitchen.
Now to the coffee. It was absolutely horrible! The taste passed right through to the brew and no matter what we did, it was undrinkable. Now you've got to believe me when I say, this chemical or whatever it is simply can't be good for you! It's the same toxic smell you get from some foreign products....I think you know what I mean.
So, after a short time, I was getting ready to return and found that the box had already been disposed of. To end the ordeal, the machine was tossed out too. It was not worth the hassle for $39. Don't buy this machine....
Great coffee maker, (What's this?) I bought this mostly because Consumer Reports gave it a "Best Buy" review. It's one of the cheapest and works beautifully. One thing that surprised me is that there was a significant difference in the flavor of the coffee over our old Mr. Coffee that was wearing out. We usually use Yuban or a house coffee - nothing very expensive. Since we've had this new coffee maker, we use the "strong brew" option. Even though it has still been the same big can of coffee grounds, this brewed coffee is way better - much more flavor than we'd been getting.
The timer feature works perfectly, too. We're very pleased and I can't see any reason to buy a more expensive maker.
Makes great coffee., (What's this?) Product arrived in plenty of time for Christmas. It makes an excellent cup of coffee, and is a great improvement over our old machine. The only suggestion I'd make to Mr. Coffee would be to include a couple of paper filters so the new owner doesn't have to go to the store just to try out the new toy.
Mr. Coffee is the start of a great day, This coffeemaker is one of the best I've ever owned. It is simple to operate and looks real "fancy." Easy pour caraffe and auto timer are two important features. I highly recommend this coffeemaker.
LOVE it!, (What's this?) First off, my coffee tastes delicious! All of those features at this price, plus it looks great on my countertop...just can't beat it.
In regards to those comments about the smell...I didn't find it overwhelmingly powerful when I took it out of the box, but as a preventative measure I put it through three cycles before making my own coffee. First clear water, then water with vinegar, then light roast to get the vinegary taste and smell out. I don't really think this was a big deal at all. After this, my coffee is the best I've had in a while. I couldn't be happier.
I use it with the Mr. Coffee GTF2-1 Basket-Style Gold Tone Permanent Filter, which is easier to clean than to have to deal with filters. I highly recommend both these products.
Weak, watery and inconsistant, I have tried to get used to the coffee from this maker but it makes weak watery coffee that varies in flavor. I clean the maker after every use (without soap) so I know that can't be the problem. I much prefer the Cuisinart I have at another house that produces good strong coffee consistently. I picked up a french press and have since removed this coffee maker from the counter. Good riddance.
Mr. Coffee BVMC-SJX33GT - pretty good, some negatives, (What's this?) I've had this for about 10 days. It's taken a few cycles to "dial in" the right amount of water and coffee, but it seems to be working fine.
Nice, but...., I bought this coffee maker after reading all the good reviews. Yes, it makes good coffee, but.... it is *very* easy seat the basket the filter sits in, incorrectly. What then happens is that the water doesn't drain down into the pot and you have a mess to clean up (once the water cools down).
Great coffeepot - not so great decanter, (What's this?) After reading the top rating from a nationally-recognized consumer's magazine, my wife and I did some checking around and really liked the looks of this Mr. Coffee maker. My wife really likes a piping hot cup of coffee and always had to put her cup in the microwave right away with all of our previous makers. When she read that this one really produced some of the hottest coffee, she was pretty much already sold, and since the machine also looked really nice, we decided to get one for ourselves for Christmas.
It fulfilled all of the glowing remarks that we had read - but, unfortunately, it also lived up to the often complaint of really messy pouring anything from the decanter (either water or coffee). Sometimes it pours very nicely, but then it will dribble - or even pour - the liquid all around the pot or the cup. I would think that, after all the years of making coffee decanters, that having the liquid pour out neatly would be a piece of cake. But not with this coffee maker.
