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

We switched from a Keurig to this after our hard water gummed it up. This has handled our hard water like a pro and gives us a good brew each time. Easy to schedule a brew or just brew on demand. It alsoalllws to take a cup of coffee out while brewing without making a mess. It just pauses the drip while the pot is off the burner. Keeps coffee warm after brewing for several hours too.

The Mr. Coffee Brew Now or Later Coffee Maker is a 12-cup drip coffee maker with a programmable timer and a “Brew Now” option. It also features an auto-pause function that lets you pour a cup of coffee mid-brew without interrupting the cycle, and a 4-hour automatic shutoff to prevent burnt coffee.

We have been Mr.Coffee fans for years, each one has lasted a long time as well, 8 to 10 years each. Easy to use and to clean

I ordered this coffee maker when I accidently broke my old Mr Coffee glass dispenser. I really wanted it to be just like my old one, I mean how many ways can you make a coffee maker?! Well this one has a lid that doesn't open from the front to the back to allow you to easily put the coffee filter and coffee into, it opens from the left to the right. Its completely in the way when you are trying to get the filter and coffer into it. It keeps closing while you are using it and is super annoying. I'm missing my old coffee maker. I would have sent this style back but didn't want to be without a coffee maker that long.. I'll suffer with it until it breaks (hoping thats sooner than later) an then try to find another model that is a better fit for me.

For years I purchased Mr. Coffee machines. They were reasonably priced, reliable, and I could always buy replacement carafes if one broke. I had my last machine for probably 8 years before the "delay" brew feature started to give out, and as I was moving anyway I figured I would just say goodbye to that machine and order a new one when I reached my new destination. This one looked more or less analogous in look and features to the last one, I ordered it and waited for it to arrive. When it finally did, I first thought the box was empty because it felt so light weight. I opened it to find it did indeed contain a machine, however. To my dismay, it was clear that it was nowhere near the quality of even a few years ago. The plastic walls of the coffee maker are paper thin, the glass carafe is paper thin, the metal plating/warmer is paper thin.....the whole thing is cheap and very, very light weight and flimsy and felt like it was made of styrofoam. When I plugged it in and tried to set the clock and timer, it lit up, fizzled, and died....it was defective, and I was not at all surprised. I sent it back and decided to go shop in-person at a local store to see if maybe I just made a bad selection, but sadly ALL the Mr. Coffee machines are this bad or worse; I had actually chosen a higher-end model and most of them are just basic "push the button" level now. It's sad to see a formerly reliable brand degrade so far. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this or any products from this brand anymore, and I've had to switch to another lesser well known manufacturer that hasn't jumped to the "as cheap as we can get away with" mode of production.

Mr. Coffee wrote the book on kitchen coffee makers, let's be honest! This new model features an LED display (easy to read across the room and in darkness) and my favorite feature is the brew timer. Love to wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee! I also love the top which opens sideways -- allowing easy pour access. This model has a compact footprint, is easy to clean, and brews a HOT cup of coffee every time. LOVE MY MR. COFFEE!
