My household really wanted a coffeemaker with a timer, so we bought this one, having owned Mr. Coffee coffeemakers for years. While it makes passable coffee (we're not coffee connoisseurs) it has two problems, and they were both problems with the last Mr. Coffee coffeemaker we owned, so we are considering buying a different brand next time. One problem is that the coffeemaker is not supposed to drip when you remove the carafe to pour a cup of coffee, yet it does drip. Another is that this dripping coffee, when burned onto the heating plate beneath the carafe, causes damage to the surface of the heating plate. So, although the Mr. Coffee line is affordable, this one is not as durable as I would like. Brew Performance Makes a basic cup of coffee. Ease of Cleaning The heating element starts to lose its coating when dripping coffee burns onto it. Ease of Use Great if you want a coffeemaker with a timer but don't want a fancy coffeemaker with lots of bells and whistles. Design The removable basket is easy to clean, and the coffeemaker has a clean design, not cluttered with lots of gadgets, buttons, and screens. Durability The heating element that the coffee carafe sits on gradually starts to lose its coating, probably because of the coffee dripping on it.

We don't drink a lot of coffee in our home but I bought this Mr. Coffee 12-Cup Programmable coffeemaker to have when my parents come over. Often times my mom comes over and helps watch the kids for me and when she does I always brew a pot of coffee for her. This coffeemaker is very easy to use which is great for me. I like that there is a fill window on the side so I can see exactly how much water I'm putting in. This is great if I want to brew less than 12 cups. My mom has told me it makes great tasting coffee and the coffee is always nice and hot. It has a nice design that would look great even sitting out on the counter if I wanted. Brew Performance Seems to brew the coffee very quickly. Ease of Use Very easy to use even for someone like me who doesn't make coffee very often. Design I like the design and the way this coffeemaker looks. I don't have it sitting out on my counter but could if I really wanted since it looks so nice.
