Summary: Meets my expectations... 2008-09-28
Comment: It will not burn coffee, as there is no heating element to keep the coffee cooking...so the coffee remains drinkable for several hours. The stainless steel carafe must be a vacuum thermos, as the exterior remains at room temperature. I sometimes will pour boiling water into the thing to heat the interior prior to brewing a pot and the exterior stays at room temperature then also.
It is attractive, if you like stainless and black plastic. It is easy to clean and stays new-looking. The controls and settings are easy to learn and the delay brew function is a definite plus; I use that often for the first pot of the day.

Summary: Excellent Value for the Cost 2008-09-12
Comment: After researching out thermal carafe coffee makers for several weeks, I'll just put it bluntly: this product is an excellent deal for your money - particularly when you start looking at your other options in the marketplace and their costs.
PROS:
* Programmable (nothing like waking up in the morning to just made coffee)
* Easy (come on - it's Mr. Coffee)
* Simple maintenance (really, just a once a month run through with a mix of vinegar and water is about the most you've got to do)
* Choose your brew strength - strong or average (I'm not sure what average is like since I put mine on "strong" since the day I set it up)
* The timer indicating how long since the coffee has been made is great
* The carafe is not glass (need I say more on that?)
* The display of water - how much you've put in, how much it's already brewed, etc. - could not be any easier to figure out
* A replaceable filter (frankly, you can likely toss it if you already use filtered water)
* Looks great with with other kitchen appliances or style that includes black, aluminum or brushed steel
* Less than $100
CONS:
- It only measures up to 10 of those 6 oz. cups (don't even get me started on the 6 oz. "cup") - so anything up to 12 it can make, but it's guesswork if you've put in 11 or 12 "cups" of water
- For the first month or so, the button to open the pour spout is a bit awkward (on the other hand, for you crackberries out there - good thumb muscle development)
- The carafe has a tough time fitting into most water dispensers on refrigerators with built-in water dispensers (you'll need to use something else and then pour into the machine)
Finally, there was a comment by one of the reviewers about the thermal carafe not keeping the coffee piping hot after a while. I won't argue with this, but since I'm not one of the folks who order "extra hot" coffee at Starbucks, I think the coffee warmth is just fine even after several hours.
Long-term, there are two items for Mr. Coffee to improve on this product (but, admittedly, they are both "nice-to-have's"):
1. Increase the thermal strength of the carafe so it can keep the coffee at almost the exact temperature over 4 hours; and
2. Change the button you press to open the pour spout to a simple toggle or lever switch that you just pop to open/close (rather than having to hold down the button while you pour).
If you do buy this, one recommendation. At least once a month, open the lid overnight (with no coffee or water in it) and just give it a chance to dry itself out thoroughly. I do this after running the vinegar/water cleaning run (followed by another run with just plain water). And I've not had a problem in 6 months yet (knock on wood).

Summary: Worst coffee maker everrrr 2008-08-26
Comment: I bought this at Target 2 weeks ago, it's so bad I logged on to Amazon to trash it. I'm going to donate it and claim $20.
cons:
-the carafe is stainless steel so you can't see how much coffee is in it.
-when brewing, the coffee just falls down onto the carafe and is supposed to go into a hole on the top. Many times it seems to overflow and fail. Coffee all over the counter
-The clock light thing is totally unnecessary and useless.
-When pouring the damn thing wont pour right. You have to damn near invert it to get coffee out.
I can't believe i wasted $40 on this piece of crap. I'd go Braun or maybe Cuisinart. I'll never buy a Mr Coffee (And obviously Black&Decker makes 100% junk) again.

Summary: good coffee, thermos pot is a GREAT feature, but 2008-08-13
Comment: it only worked for about a year. My emails to MrCoffee customer service went unanswered. It's cheap enough now I'd buy it again, but it seems like such a waste to just throw the broken one out.

Summary: Good value 2008-07-26
Comment: Other reviewers have complained that their coffee is lukewarm at best. They must have tastebuds of steel or something, as the first thing I noticed was that my coffee was HOTTER than it ever was in my old coffee maker. I left one mug's worth in the carafe for about 2 hours while I went to the gym, and it was adequately warm when I got back - even with cream in it. Of course it was not as hot as the first cup had been, but it was warm enough for me.
I have not yet tried the "strong" setting, but think it will provide the strength I prefer.
My only complaint is that the pour is slow out of the carafe. I find it more useful to just take the top off, particularly for the last cup.
Overall, well worth the money, IMO.
