Mr. Coffee Black Coffee Maker, 12 Cups, with Auto Pause and Glass Carafe, Perfect for Home and Office Use

It has one job- to make a pot of coffee. It has only two settings- on and off. It's perfect. Buckle up buddy because this is a love letter to the most utilitarian device ever created by mankind. I'm talking about optimal efficiency, intuitive design and user workflow, and zero interface/features bloat. This particular Mr. Coffee machine is perfect, full stop. It has one job and it does it flawlessly every. single. time. You choose your coffee. You put in the grinds. You fill it with water. You get the exact coffee you want. The machine features one solitary button- a toggle to turn it on and off. When turned on, it makes coffee. Add more water, get more coffee. When turned off, it stops making coffee. That being said, this machine is for giga brained people who can handle the responsibility of manually turning an appliance on and off. There is no A.I. or software to argue with. There are no options to search through. There isn't a keypad to input settings or built-in wifi to connect to an app. There isn't a bluetooth speaker in the base. There is no Alexa, Siri, Roku, Rufus, or Dingus jabroni shoe-horned into the thing. It is a dumb device which makes it *one of the safest, smartest device available* in 2025. This is a cheaply made, plastic appliance, that will last longer than your next graphics card. By being designed and built with an "Occam's Razor" philosophy, this machine routinely outlasts more expensive and sophisticated models simply by having less things that can break. The actual value you get from this $40 purchase is unmatched. You will spend thousands of dollars on coffee beans before you need to spend another $40 on a new Mr. Coffee machine. And you will purchase this exact model again. After using this model for a week you will become irate at the mere sight of other coffee machines. You will look in disgust at the obscene amount of knobs and buttons and you'll point and laugh as you righteously sneer "That coffee machine has an LCD screen!" because you are right- it is absurd. You have finally found Truth in the new millennium. Sip your coffee. Gulp it. Make more. Just don't forget to turn it off... or completely empty the pot before filling with water again XD

This coffee maker is just what we wanted. One button to turn on and off, no time to set, no programming, no automatic shut off. Just perfect. Plain and simple and gets the job done. Plus, the coffee stays piping hot. You do have to remember to turn it off and to make sure you don't let the pot sit there with little or no coffee in it. Neither of those things are a problem for us.

Easy to use. Doesn't have a bunch of gadgets you have to figure out. Just a regular coffee maker. I'm happy with my purchase. No k cups, no descaling, just makes coffee the old fashion way.

For the past ten years I have been using this 12-cup Mr Coffee model. I never turn it off... use it 24/7. They last from six months to just over a year. I have bought about ten, five through Amazon. It used to be the switch would fail (even though never turned it off), but I replaced switches and would generally get well over a year from them. Then, two of the machines (over the years) developed internal leaks, and I could not find the leaks from the bottom, but they were leaking. Two or three of the machines had heating coil failures. The price has continued to increase over the years, so I bought a 12-cup Black and Decker this time. I have owned it two days and I like it fine. The carafes are interchangeable with the Mr Coffee ones (I have a lot of those), so that's nice. I already ordered my second Black and Decker, because the price is great and I hate being without my daily coffee (hot tea actually). I throw two larger tea bags where the coffee filter and grounds go and make tea most of the time. For the second pitcher I throw one more tea bag on top and so, get two pitchers from three tea bags... the tea bags cost $3.25 for 24 bags, so I get 16 12-cup pitchers of nice strong tea for $3.25.

So in my humble opinion, coffee pots shouldn't be as expensive as some of them are. Pour water over the coffee grounds and into a pot with a heating element under it. With that being said I have seen some coffee pots run in the Easley over $100 range. Now okay I understand if you want to have a clock involved so it can start your coffee for you, that's fine and I'm sure that'll cost a couple extra dollars, and if you want something really nice and prestigious looking because you care what your guests think about what you've spent on random items then yeah drop a hundred bucks on a nice one maybe it's stainless steel or something and has a good company logo on the front of it. Personally, I'm not that difficult. I get up in the morning I push the button on this thing and by the time I get out of the shower I've got a nice hot pot of coffee waiting for me and life is good. The only thing I wish this had and this is only because my previous pot did have this option is that if you don't turn this off it'll just stay on all day and you really don't want to cook that empty pot all day. There is a light on the button so if you're leaving the house and the light is still on yeah you might want to shut this off. And honestly after a couple weeks I got into the habit of making sure I shut it off as I picked up the pot to pour my coffee so it hasn't really been an issue, it was only a problem for a week or two because like I said my previous pot automatically shut off so I got lazy and just let it do its thing. So anyway, if you're just looking for something to make your coffee, and you don't really want to spend $50 or $100, I've had this for quite a while now and it works great. I do have well water which has a lot of extra minerals and crap in it so I do find myself doing a 50% vinegar solution which you pretty much need to do with any coffee pot from time to time but in my case a little more often... And other than that, I expect this thing's going to last me a few more years.

It works and does exactly what I need it to do. Brew Coffee. What a concept. And you don't need a Training Class on how to use it and how many buttons to push and program it. I like my Coffee Strong and Hot, so I use enough coffee and a little less water. And you turn it ON or OFF. Amazing!!! It's almost like it was designed to do that or something. Good Job Mr. Coffee.

i like it---easy and simple--one button for on & off. mr coffee brand should say it all---good brand good product.

*** updated 1/16/2021*** It’s been a few weeks. I tried one more time but the flavor is still there. Maybe it’ll go away but I had also purchased a pitcher that boils watet for tea and it’s great with a. French press we had that I forgot to use. This product I declare as junk for me and regret the purchase thus rating it a one star. I no longer have incentive to try again so it’s unlikely I’ll come back for another updated review. ******** I’m going to start this review off by talking about filters. There are cone filters and then there are flimsy filters. Until I went back to these flimsy filters, I never fully appreciated the cone filters and this will impact future machine purchases for me. Cone filters pack flat meaning storage is less invasive. The hood their shape and are less likely to spill and the won’t collapse when transferring to compost or garbage. It’s a little thing but I appreciate it. So, the point of all this, is that mr coffee uses the flimsy filters. Surprisingly there are a lot of machines that don’t use the cones, which is disappointing. First impressions: The plastic look and felt cheap. I saw reviews that commented about the cheapness of this machine and shrugged it off. Other machines are made of plastic after all. This plastic looks and feels somehow cheaper. I instantly had a negative association to it. The side windows which advertised visibility from both points was a selling point for me. What was failed to be mentioned is that you can’t read the clear numbers when contrasted against a black background or steam. I wrote the marks in with permanent marker to be able to see when filling. One feature I did like is that the spout moves out of the way and the lid snaps it back into place. Simple and elegant engineering. I would never clean these grounds out when hot though. Recipe for spilt grounds and burns. The prep It requires a washing and a single run to remove the plastic flavor, per instructions. I ran 4 times after I washed and before the first use. The plastic smell seemed gone. The usage The first cup seemed fine. Additional uses the plastic taste and smell crept in strongly. I ran a cleanse through it four more times and it’s still there rendering expensive coffee undrinkable. My wife felt like the first coffee had a weird flavor, so maybe I didn’t notice the first time? The fact we have flushed this so many times and the flavor persists is deeply concerning to me. I’ve owned a few coffee machines and never had this issue persist for so long. I’m going to keep trying and if something changes, I’ll update. I’d like this to be a good machine for me, but it’s not. The water heats quickly! This is a lot faster than my older coffee makers! The lighted switch is more subtle than I’d like. It’s a dot vs the entire switch, but in the end my wife and I turn it off after the last cup and it’s not an issue as we both stay at home now. There is no auto shut off. The drip stop works okay. A few drips will come out if you pull early, but it does stop while you pour a cup. A critical feature for my wife. The carafe pours well at an okay speed without dripping down the side. Some will leak if overly full and you have to pour slooooowly to avoid spillage. This seems better designed. This steams a lot and should not be under a cabinet when running. It WILL damage the cabinets. It’s easy to pull out and push back in. The summary: Would I purchase again? No. Even if the flavor fixes itself, I have concerns about the cheapness of this machine and the plastic used and the health impact. I couldn’t find anywhere that discussed if it was bpa free. I hadn’t been concerned because sunbeam owns me coffee, but after seeing and feeling the cheapness of the plastic, and with the plastic taste still present, I’m concerned. It is cheap, the functionality seems good for just a weeks ownership, but the lack of drinkable coffee is an issue. Even if that’s resolved, there’s concern in the back of my mind about the long term health impact of this machine. Hopefully this is helpful. I’d recommend spending more money as I feel I wasted $28 and will be purchasing a new coffee maker, again.

Funciona bien, está bonita.

Hasta el día de hoy funcionando bien

A cafeteira nao esta esquentando a cafe suficientemente. Eu sempre gostei essa marca, mas essa maquina nao esta funcionando corretemente.

Several days ago, while washing the dishes I dropped the coffee cup, which smashed into the coffee pot. Only the coffee cup survived. I waited 4 long days of no-morning coffee waiting for this to arrive. I am a senior with mobility issues who does not drive so its not like I could just run out an buy one. Once I received this, ran a pot of water through it, and finally made that pot of morning coffee - it was the best coffee I ever had and it was the best coffee maker that ever existed! I now leave the coffee pot on the counter and when all the other dishes have been washed and the sink is empty, only then do I wash the coffee pot. Its pretty basic, which is what I wanted, no bells and whistles, very easy to use. The cord is kinda short but that's ok by me as when its not in use its easy to tuck the cord behind it. It does have a little cubby hole to put the cord into to but its easier to just to hid it behind the coffee maker. If I had to I would buy again.

Execelente producto. Cumple con lo que menciona, hemos buscando está marca en la ciudad en dónde vivimos y nadie la vende así que decidimos pedirla por internet y toda la familia está feliz con ella. Llegó incluso antes de lo esperado.
