Mr. Coffee® 5-Cup Mini Brew Switch Coffee Maker, Black

Arrived so quickly. It arrived 2-3 hours after i ordered it which was great because my current coffee maker suddenly quit working that same morning. It was a Mr. Coffee 12-cup that lasted for 13 years so I figured that i got my money's worth. So I thought I would go with Mr. Coffee brand again. Anyway, this time I decided to try the 5-cup because I no longer need a 12-cup as I now live alone. I've only had it for 3 days but so far I love it. It works great. I don't like warm coffee and this little coffee makes makes hot coffee, but not too hot to burn you. It stays hot until you turn it off. It is not programmable but that is not a feature that I'm crazy about anyway. The handle on the carafe isn't too small, just the right size. The carafe has a wide opening which makes it easy to clean and the glass carafe is just the same glass as a 12-cup, only smaller. The basket uses the 7" filters which I was already using in my old unit so I didn't have to buy new ones. I don't like the cone filters and I'm glad this one doesn't require them. I especially like that it doesn't take up as much counter space because I have a small kitchen and don't have much counter space to spare. It doesn't brew as fast as a large coffee maker but that is no problem for me. I turn it on when I get up, then go get dressed. By the time i get back to the kitchen, it is finished. It does have the pause feature if you are in a hurry. So far, I'm very pleased with this little coffee maker and don't share any of the negative reviews. I did run plain water through the unit before making my first pot of coffee to clean it through and through. There was no bad plastic smell, no smell of any kind, and no bad taste of any kind from my first brew of coffee as others have mentioned. I don't grind my own coffee beans but I use Folgers pre-ground coffee, so i don't know anything about grinding your own beans and how this would be any different. i know some people are really picky about that kind of stuff, but I am not. I am more concerned about convenience. If you like stronger coffee, just add more grounds or less water, or both as there is no adjustment on this unit to make the coffee stronger or weaker. As I have only had it for 3 days, I don't know anything about the lifespan of this unit, but so far, I am very pleased and loving the little coffee maker. I will update the review if it doesn't last long. It is perfect for small kitchens, dorm rooms, etc., and is very light wright. It looks just like a 12-cup coffee maker, only smaller, without lots of bells and whistles- just a basic coffee maker. ( I've had 2 Keurigs in the past and neither one lasted more than a year- too expensive to keep replacing every year. I won't buy anymore of those) This little unit is perfect for me. Glad I found it and hope it last a long time.

We had to send our Breville coffee maker to get fixed and needed something quick for the meantime, ended up getting this small coffee maker and I must admit, I am impressed! It’s small and simple, but it gets the job done! It’s pretty quiet and only has an on/off button. You can’t beat the price and the simplicity of the product.

Perfect small simple coffee pot. Easy to use. Just one button to switch on after adding your coffee and water, and a few minutes later you have coffee. You can use paper filters or buy a reusable filter. Being able to poor your coffee while it is still brewing is nice.

This coffee maker is fine, sure. It is flimsy plastic but durable enough for my purposes. But I want to know WHY and how it is so loud while being so small and unassuming? What laws of science were broken to create something so small yet so LOUD???

I haven't had a trip coffee maker ever since keurig came out. However, with all the recent talk about mold in coffee and K cups I decided to switch back to a drip coffee maker. I make four cups and that fills up one decent size coffee mug. This product works fantastic. So easy to use. The coffee taste phenomenal. And I will never go back to a keurig again. Recommended.

Perfect for brewing at home for 2 of us. Great value, durable, space saving, easy to clean. This is the second time we have bought this, the first one, we lost the little rubber stopper ring. We kept the rest of the first one for parts, in case I break something! LOL

This was my 3rd Mr Coffee maker in the last few years. It was going great until this past week. It lasted about 7 months and then stopped working. You would hear it bubbling but nothing was getting pumped up the neck. I had 2 other Mr Coffees in the past (different models) and all of them kept breaking. I finally chucked this one in the trash and bought a Black and Decker, gonna give that company a chance. Mr Coffee ones just don't even make a year!! Junk I guess.

No need to purchase expensive coffee pods: use paper filters or buy a reusable mesh filter. I fill the water reservoir to the 5 cup mark, which is the maximum. This produces approximately 25 ounces ounces of coffee in about 7 minutes. I get two large mugs of coffee, which is perfect for me. The compact size takes up minimal counter space.
