Mr. Coffee 12-Cup Switch Coffee Maker, White, CG12 4.1 5 74 85
Good Office Coffee Maker This coffee maker has only one button, ON/OFF. It has no other bells and whistles but does what it is supposed to do and that is make coffee. A great coffee maker if you don't want to spend a fortune but want something that get's the job done. 03/20/2009
This is the pot!! Halelujah!! So I'm sitting here holding my favorite coffee cup filled with freshly brewed coffee from my new pot. Yes, I've only owned it about an hour but I feel compelled to share my experience.I must admit that I read each review, both for and against this pot, before actually owning it. I was wary of the posts that said the countertops were covered with water after making a pot or that the pot was filled with grounds, etc., so I paid close attention to each complaint as I ran a full 12 cup pot of water through to test so that I could still return it if it didn't work.I put the water exactly at the 12 cup line and when it was done percolating, it was EXACTLY at the 12 cup line on the pot again. Very cool! My last pot lost a few cups in the translation which was very irritating. Not this one!I love the basket and how it is flat. I love the arm that swings over the basket when ready to brew and slides back out of place when ready to empty the grounds. I know I won't be seeing grounds escaping the filter any more! (I never did understand those cone shaped filters)I am perfectly happy with a pot that has no bells and whistles. I had a pot for years that could program the time to auto make a pot and never used it once so if you are like me, this will suit you just fine. I don't need it to auto turn off after 2 hours (a feature not on this machine) since I shut it down when the pot is done dripping. I can reheat the coffee in the microwave!Mmmm. I'm going to start buying decaf so I can drink coffee and brew all day long after the initial pot to wake me up.Thank you, Mr. Coffee!!! 10/27/2009
Mr. Coffee is dependable We're both retired and don't need the auto brew feature. Mr. Coffee product has always been our choice of coffee makers, for looks and dependability. This coffee maker is so reasonably priced we bought two of them to have on hand when our other one stops working. Grandnana2 06/09/2010
thumbs up I bought the inexpensive model of Mr. Coffee, 12 cup coffee maker. I've been very pleased with it. It is very easy to clean, the grounds basket removes very easily, too. It makes very good coffee, and it gets plenty hot! I've had no problems with leaking water, coffee grounds in the coffee, spillage when pouring, etc. that some others have mentioned. The only fault I find is that it does not have the automatic shut-off after 2 hrs feature --but that's a simple thing. I would give this coffee maker a big thumbs up! I recommend it. 01/11/2010
