Mr Coffee 12 Cup Coffeemaker

Comment: Just reiterating what everyone else is saying. Tried cleaning it, running water thru it twice, etc. Nothing worked. Disppointed that I have to go out and buy a new coffee maker after 1.5 years.

Comment: I had this Mr. Coffee model for about a year before it stopped working. So - silly me - I went and bought a similar one to replace it. It stopped working after 2 months. It STARTS to brew, then prematurely stops. I think it has something to do with crappy electronics in the faceplate. Mr. Coffee coffeemakers are not what they used to be. And this model is a piece of junk, in my humble opinion. BEWARE!

Comment: We have had two of these coffee makers. The first died a year after purchase. I wrote to them, and they replaced it. The replacement was obviously a reconditioned unit (or possibly a return) as it was poorly packaged. We have had the same issues that other reviewers have noted...leaking, slow brewing. One thing that we find VERY irritating is the beeping. It beeps 3 times when it's done brewing. It beeps when it shuts off. It beeps when it's done cleaning. All of the beeping is annoying! Trust me when I say it WILL wake up the whole house! The adjustable warmer is worthless. We don't want *warm* coffee, and even on the hottest setting, we have to nuke each cup. If you want a pretty coffee maker, this is pretty. If you want a reliable coffee maker that makes hot coffee, quickly and cleanly, don't buy this one.

Comment: I am on my 2nd one of this coffee maker. it leaks from the bottom, but worst of all the coffee tastes and smells like burning plastic! Has anyone else had this problem? I had the first one replaced by calling customer service at Mr. Coffee but the same problem occured.

Comment: I've had a lot of automatic and manual coffeemakers and this one is the best, yet. The designers made a lot of good upgrades: a better non-drip trap while you remove the pot during brewing, easier to program, and what appears to be more durable buttons and Teflon (but we won't know how well they last for a while). Nice design. Looks good on the counter.
