You would think by now the Mr. Coffee folks would know how to make a coffee maker, but this one was apparently designed by people who have never brewed a cup of coffee in their lives.
If the carafe isn’t in just the right position, you wake up to a puddle of coffee on yourr counter and floor. Unfortunately, I cannot tell what the right position is–it just overflows randomly.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the clock display is right above the carafe. As the coffee brews, the steam infiltrates the clock and fills it full of condensation, making it very difficult to read. After a few months of this, the clock quits working altogether and you cannot set a delayed brew. You read correctly: this coffeemaker kills it’s own clock!
I will NEVER buy a Mr. Coffee product again.

After past experiences with Mr. Coffee products, I told myself I would never purchase another. I should have “stuck to my guns”. After using this coffeemaker for just over one month, it now leaks from the bottom each time it’s used…sitting in a pool of water. Checking out Mr Coffee’s FAQ…it seems that my only option is “send it in for service”. After only one month of use??? BEWARE!!!

I purchased this as a replacement for a Cuisinart Grind & Brew, fully knowing that I was heading back to pre-ground coffee territory, surprisingly this ended up not being an issue. What was disturbing was the build quality, and to some extent the design.
Flatly said, the build quality is poor. The carafe leaks every time your pour a cup of coffee, and the auto stopper consistently gets clogged.
The design is such that it has a double flapper for the water and coffee compartments. Water is difficult to pour into the correct compartment, and often gets into the coffee. When the water is heated and pumped into the coffee compartment correctly, it splashes coffee grinds onto the sides and then underneath the coffee filters clogging the stopper.
All in all, we are looking at the new Cuisinart Grind and Brew, at least the last Cuisinart lasted four years before we had any problems, the Mr. Coffee began problematic out of the box, and within the first four months began leaking.
