Mr. Coffee is one of the better coffeepot makers. Sure it's a bit more depending on whether you get one that does the simple process or this one that is programmable. I find this one sturdy at the base, solid build. I've always bought Mr. coffee except for the last 2 coffee pots which one was a Mueller. Which is why I'm buying this one. Usually the thermocouple goes on any pot but the Mr. Coffee seems to get a better longevity. Just like any coffee pot they are all a pain in the neck to clean in the basket area. But this one I find easier to use and I get enough time out of the product I paid for. The noise complaints? It's a coffee pot and it's going to make noise while heating the water and when the tank gets to the end of the water left in the reservoir when steam takes up the space of low hot water being pumped to the top of the pot. Whether it's too much noise or you think you'll find a variable lower noise good luck because I've never seen a coffee pot that makes less noise. Usually coffee makers are weak at the supporting base, this one is not. I like the choice of setting when to brew or a button for brew as I wait. Read more

This is the second coffermaker of this model that I have purchased. The first was two years ago. The carafe has been redesigned so that the dripping while pouring a cup no longer exists. Unfortunately, the cause of my replacement has not been addressed. After two years of use expect to replace this unit. The "pretty" chrome ring at the bottom of the top tank is plated on plastic. It will start to flak off and drop into the carafe during the process,. Ingesting chrome is not high on my vitamin list. All in all $23 per year for coffeemaker is not too bad in our throwway society. It does make good coffee. Read more

This was a replacement for our old reliable Mr. Coffee. Similar design and features. 12 cups, automatic timer, auto shutoff after 4 hours. But this one has a gremlin in its clock. I programmed it several times. Checked and rechecked the display. Set the auto-start for 8:00 am. How do I know? Because the clock has a little light next to the PM symbol which indicates PM when illuminated and AM when NOT. Next morning I get up and there’s no coffee! And the clock now reads PM. So I go through the process again later that night. I reset the clock to the correct time. I double-check the auto-start time…8:00AM! I go to sleep. Next morning two out of three times there’s no coffee. That’s right! It’s a Gremlin because it’s not consistently failing. So I read the owner’s manual. Follow the directions and repeat. No hot coffee when I get up. I gotta wait 10 minutes after I reset the clock to AM and press brew now. Update: I returned this item for an identical replacement. The replacement suffered from the same glitch which leads me to believe that it is an electronic design flaw in this revised version of a previously perfect coffee maker. Other dislikes about this model is the fact that the fill level window no longer has the highly visible level marks. Now you need a flashlight to see the markings. So…I bought a very similar product from Black and Decker after returning this a second time. Read more
