Mr. Coffee® 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, Brew Now or Later

I purchased this coffee maker in 2021 and she is still going strong. I love the simplicity. Brew now and brew later are you only options for buttons. It has an easy to clean reusable filter. The pot itself is also easy to clean and had held up nicely. Sure, the buttons may wear off over time and the clock is fast, but I wouldn't trade this for a fancy coffee maker. I brews quickly and at the perfect temperature. This has never let me down. This is very much an affordable coffee maker. I enjoy that it does not take up too much space and is easy to use. I absolutely recommend.

The clock runs about 2 to 1 making the timer useless. Like most things from amazon lately, not only was it late but it's junk. Update: I figured out the clock problem. Had to find the resolution on the internet on redit. Mr. Coffee people didn't have a clue. Update: Clock went back to running to fast after about 3 hours. So i drained it. Threw it to the floor, stomped it a bit and took the pieces to the dumpster. Then I went to Walmart and got a good Bunn coffee maker for about 20 bucks more. But it's a 100 bucks more in quality. What I should have done in the first place. Don't waste your good money on this corporate/government sanctioned rip off of the American people.

Can't get the Brew Later to work. Any ideas?

This coffee pot was working just fine then stopped heating water. This happened within two weeks of the amazon return window EXPIRING. 5-6 WEEKS OF USE? I contacted Amazon, who asked me to contact the manufacturer. They put the warranty phone number and my purchase receipt in chat. When I asked them to send me the info via email, they ensured it would remain available in chat and they would send an email. I checked my email right away, no email from Amazon! When I looked at customer service chat moments later, it looked like the conversation had never taken place. There was no record of me contacting them! So I contacted amazon via chat again. They offered to give me a one time exception return, but I would have to pick up the shipping charge. What? I think it is unreasonable to expect customers to pay money to return an item that stopped heating after 5-6 weeks of use, especially from a supposed-reputable brand like Mr. Coffee. I have brand loyalty and this experience has me thinking it might be time for a change. I'm back to talk about the warranty submission nightmare! :-) (April 1) The manufacturer responded to my warranty request stating the incorrect problem. They sent another email with a link to a warranty information form. I gathered the photos (4 needed - two for the form, two for codes on the prongs from 75+ year old parents in another state), receipt and started to fill in the form on the warranty site. Well, guess what? The code I had was six characters; the form would only take 4. I couldn't use the first four or the last four, so I just put in the code on the pop-up info button. I didn't have the second plug prong code. The prong on the machine I purchased is blank. Awesome. Well, fortunately the submit button didn't kick me back to an additional issue, but the page that showed up indicated I couldn't see the page I was sent to since I wasn't logged in. I guess I can't see the confirmation page or can't see what? Where is the submit form supposed to take me? Hmmm. I'll check my email for a confirmation. NOPE. Is my warranty form received or not? Snail mail is better than this hack of a submission. Maybe it's designed that way. Who knows. Either way, they should be sending me money for my time dealing with this nonsense. Now, I have a new warranty case number for the issue of not being able to submit my original warranty case. Fun. Definitely buy this coffee maker if you like to spend your free time trying to sort out a terrible product.

Mr Coffee is my favorite brand coffee maker. This one does not disappoint. My favorite part about this maker is that you can schedule for the coffee to start brewing at a scheduled time. I do appreciate waking up to a hot pot of coffee already made.

Buy this coffee pot all the time when it breaks down, I drink ALOTTTTT OF COFFEE!!! About every 3-5 years I need a new one! Hot coffee, 12 cup, great value.

I like a one button on off no nonsense coffee maker. Not difficult to clean. Vinegar and water every month or so
