The 4-cup size of this machine is perfect for a single person who brews several cups of coffee a day. It's also an ideal water heater for tea, instant soup and oatmeal when boiled water is too hot and inconvenient. I've never thrown out one of these coffeemakers because it wasn't working; the reason was almost always because the hotplate is chipped and corroded, which happens with all models I've owned. I've never used a programmable coffeemaker because I don't want coffee to be brewed automatically when I sleep late.
If your tastes are more towards fancy espresso drinks and exotic coffees, you'll probably find fault with this machine. But if your tastes are plain and you are more concerned with reliability than special features, this is a machine with solid performance that you can trust.
I had the Mr. Coffee with the schedule timer options but found that since I never used the timer option and all I wanted to do was press the 'on' button as I stumbled out of bed in the morning, it was actually too many buttons to sort through and peer closely at in a bleary morning fog, so I opted for this "Simple" brew - no mistaking what button to press no matter how out of it you might be. I'd never use the timer feature because I wake up when I'm rested, which is different times every morning - and don't want the smell of coffee waking me up like an alarm clock.
So what else is superior about this coffee maker.... the large capacity basket filter easily holds 1/2 cup of coffee grounds (4 full 1/8th scoops). Yes, I like my coffee EXTRA EXTRA strong. I also had a different 4 cup brewer which I'd gotten (like this one) due to its ultra compact size, but it had a cone shape filter that took #2 filters - and it would only hold 3 large scoops of coffee grounds before it would overflow over the filter and get grounds in my weak coffee.
I went through disappointing weak cups of coffee with Keurig and various other coffee makers until I finally landed on this little Mr. Coffee., I make a full four cup pitcher and it's JUST RIGHT for my morning. If anyone else wants any I'd make another brew.
"The good"... easy, clean function for a '4x cup'/personal coffee maker.
"The not so good"... it seems that the industry has migrated toward safety and has designed coffee makers to brew at about 180-185°F, and with heat losses through the grounds in the carafe, produce only about a 165-170°F result. Though the warmer works fine it seems it would take a long time I expect to provide piping hot coffee that I have been accustomed to for MANY YEARS in the Melita 4-cup I replaced with this unit, and at 2 other 12 cup brewers I currently own. Of course a long time on the warmer is not good for brew quality thus a simple 30 seconds in the microwave right after 'run through' takes care of that problem... just an inconvenience.
Also, out of the box the tab/lock holding the lid shut during brewing has a bit of molded plastic part 'interference' problem... but after getting another brand of brewer a few weeks prior, found that it had a similar problem... one that is solved by using a 'touch' of veggie oil on the lock mating surfaces and 2 hands to open the door to prevent possible damage to these parts. This loosens up enough I feel with several uses. An additional line in the instructions or maybe a different latch design could improve on the problem I encountered... on both brewers.
All said, I would recommend this brewer for the simplicity, function and price.
