(More customer reviews)I received this as a gift from my family so I said goodbye to my old Mr. Coffee and set this one up in our kitchen. It is much larger than my previous 12 cup but I was able to clear enough space to make it work. Now, let me list the problems:
- Old Mr. Coffee had a bright red LED clock that I could see across the room. This model has an unlit LCD that I can barely see even when I'm standing next to it.
- There is no dam between the basket area and the main reservoir which means that coffee splash and stray grounds can wash right into the reservoir, contaminating everything.
- Old Mr. Coffee had a multi-hole water outlet that would shower the grounds in the coffee basket. This model has a single outlet jet that directs the water into one small area near the center of the basket effectively leaving some of grounds dry. The first pot I made was so weak I have to spit it out!. Now, in addition to grinding my beans a bit finer, I must leave the pot out of the unit for the first 3 minutes so the basket doesn't drain. This strategy bathes all the grounds in water and makes my coffee palatable. But this manual step means I can never set the coffee maker on automatic which negates the whole purpose of the clock/timer.
The only reason I keep it is because it was a gift, but my goal here is to save someone else from wasting money on this sub-standard brewer.
