Mr. Coffee Stainless Steel 10 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker

After shopping for a coffee maker, I decided to try this model of Mr. Coffee. I really like the ease of filling the removable water tank. The first couple of pots of coffee had a "plastic" taste, but now the coffee tastes great. The carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours--there is no hot plate under the carafe. Clean up is a breeze.

This is the second Mr. Coffee 10-Cup Optimal Brew Thermal Coffee Maker that I have owned. The first one is still in service and working great. I purchased the new coffee maker for my recently built outside kitchen because the Optimal Brew Thermal Carafe keeps coffee HOT for a lot longer than other brands of coffee makers that I have owned. It cycles through a brewing in about 7 minutes and keeps my coffee hot in the thermal carafe for over 2 hours.....or would if my coffee lasted that long. Being a devout drinker of hot coffee, I go through several pots a day and this coffee maker system has held up through it all. If this second coffee maker holds up under my use as well as the first, I'll be even more thrilled with the system. I've encountered no leaks except one time when I didn't completely empty the carafe before brewing another cycle. All in all, I'd purchase an identical machine if the first one ever quits. Couldn't be more pleased with the product.
