Mr. Coffee TF4 4-Cup Coffee Maker Review

I am not the coffee drinker in my household, my wife is, but I find myself making the coffee on the weekends along with the rest of breakfast.  Up until recently, we had one of the large 12-cup machines that Gevalia sends you for free-of-charge for trying their gourmet coffee.  But my wife grew tired of it and started looking for a replacement more in line with the amount of coffee she actually drinks every morning: two.  She settled on the small foot-print drip Mr. Coffee TF4 4-Cup Coffee Maker.    

The 3.3 pound Mr. Coffee TF4 coffee maker features just one button, the on/off switch.  But it unit allows you the luxury of removing the glass carafe (called pause-n-serve) while the pot is still being brewed.  The off/off switch lets you know when the coffee maker is on by illuminating the on switch, and the Mr. Coffee TF4 features a dual water reservoir so you'll never have to guess how much water remains.

My Viewpoint

The Mr. Coffee TF4 is simple to use; just place a standard 4-cup filter in the brewing cup, pour in the water and turn the unit on.  In about ten minutes you'll have a carafe full of fresh, hot coffee.  Nothing could be easier.  Yes, the Mr. Coffee TF4 lacks some of the niceties we had come accustomed to, like a timer and two-stage warmer plate, but they are hardly missed.

Now that we've made the move to the Mr. Coffee TF4 4-Cup Coffee Maker, I can't see us using anything else in the future, free or not.  And besides at less than $20.00 per unit, it would be simple enough to replace.  The Mr. Coffee TF4 4-Cup Coffee Maker is a keeper.
