Then this is the coffee maker for you. It’s easy enough to use, a bottom-of-the-line model with no bells and whistles, but with 4 annoying flaws.
The worst is that the coffee never comes out hot — it’s at an easy-to- drink heat that’s not hot enough for me. Second, the heating plate doesn’t keep the coffee hot enough. Third, there’s no automatic shutoff, a nuisance. Fourth, the carafe drips a lot when it’s poured at any but the slowest rate.

The Worst!
This is absolutely the worst coffee maker I have ever used. If you like really weak coffe, then it might be ok.

simple and clean
I am not a huge coffee drinker, and was essentially looking for a basic coffee maker to have mostly for guests. I like the clean, white look - and it’s very easy to clean.

Alas, Mr. Coffee, you are causing much strife in my household. At this very moment, my wife is saying “I hate you.” We had one of your ancestors, and loved it, right up until the carafe broke. So, we bought you. Where to start….
1) There is a single lid, hinged in back, that lifts up and back. This lid covers both the grinds and the fresh water tank. So, after brewing, if you lift the lid, crud drips back into the fresh water tank. This is ok if you enjoy cleaning the *entire* maker every day.
2) Even if you don’t lift the lid immediately, some grounds still get thrown into the fresh water tank.
3) The maker itself is bulkier than the older models.
I guess that Mr. Coffee had to reduce costs somehow to keep their basic model under twenty dollars.
Bottom line. Don’t waste your money on this guy. Dimaggio he ain’t.

Not ready for prime time…
We had a long happy history with Mr Coffee until this one. The basket containing the coffee filter is easily removable for cleaning, but it is held by a container which is not…

I bought this as a replacement for a 12-y-o tried-and-true Mr. Coffee coffee maker. It is terrible: the design is such that the grounds easily back up into the water reservoir; the reservoir is impossible to clean; the carafe leaks so much there might as well be holes in it; and the venting holes in the back of the water reservoir are placed in such a way that nine times out of ten, as you are filling up the reservoir, you will splash water out the back of the coffee maker. We’ve spilled so much coffee and water underneath the coffee maker in the three months that we’ve had it that we’ve ruined the counter it was sitting on.
Total waste of money. Save up and buy something better.
