Mr. Coffee Hot & Cold Brew Coffee Maker & Tea Brewer

Absolutely love this coffee maker! There is a noticeable difference in the quality of this coffee and a standard drip maker or a Keurig, even when using just our everyday coffee (we like Community Coffee dark roast). There are just two of us in the house and it's nice to be able to make a small pot in the morning (enough for us to both have two cups) and I love that it's easy to make an excellent single cup that is so much better than a Keurig. I have also used it for hot tea (I did adjust for their recommended amount the second time) and I'm looking forward to making cold brew next Summer.1 thing I will note is that the buttons around the dial are extremely sensitive and it's easy to accidentally touch one while you are adjusting time or brew settings. I read another review talking about setting a delay brew and that's what came to mind is that it would be very easy to hit descale accidentally. I would recommend setting the delay time before putting the grounds in. (I have ours start the same time every morning so once the time is set you just have to hit delay brew, it remembers the time).

I'm returning my second Perfect Brew this week. On the first one, the plunger did not work, so coffee and tea never released from the filter basket. The second one slowly leaks water all over the counter during and after the brew cycle. There seems to be a real quality control issue with these coffee makers.On the plus side, the coffee that does brew is so good that I considered keeping it with the leak, but decided the hassle and possible damage to my kitchen was not worth it.

This is a really cool coffee maker and don’t want to forget it also makes tea. I’m someone who likes to make a pot of coffee but at times still needs a single serve and this does both really well. I also really like that you don’t need pods, saving the environment 1 cup at a time! The scooper makes it easy to get the coffee right and the timer countdown is a nice touch. Would recommend!

I am a self-confessed coffee snob. I love to try whole beans from favorite small roasteries. Unfortunately, my Keurig just didn’t do those coffees justice, so I bought this one. There is much to like here. It’s easy to use and clean. I love that it makes hot or iced coffee and that it has different settings and a separate brew basket for tea. I love that it can make one to 8 cups. I love that it auto-senses which brew basket is inserted and offers programming options accordingly. I especially love that it brews a truly great cup of coffee. It does have a few limitations, however. The warming plate doesn’t come on unless you brew a full 8-cup carafe. That’s an issue on mornings when I only want a mug or two. I paid this price to avoid microwaving great coffee into over cooked coffee just to warm it up. I don’t love that the warming plate only stays on for 60 minutes. I do want an auto shut off safety feature but an hour isn’t long enough to finish a full carafe. Overall, though, I’m pleased with it. The great taste of fresh, well-brewed coffee more than makes up for a couple of small annoyances.

The Coffee Maker is pretty good overall. I like the ease of use an the coffee maker works well, BUT, the Coffee Maker after about 3-4 months started leaking out of the bottom when the reservoir is past half way full. I reached out to Mr. Coffee, They responded pretty quickly with the initial response, after that responses took about a week each time. Essentially I had to jump through hoops provide a bunch of pictures to prove it was still in warranty, and provide proof of purchase, not too bad. Then they responded yes it is in Warranty, please send us the unit. No replacement unit sent to me, just send them my unit, live without coffee or (get another coffee maker) for however long it takes them to do something. The last response from them to clarify that took 10 days. So overall Customer service does respond but does not seem to care about communicating quickly or about you having to make do while you wait for them to address the issues with their defective product.

Bought this because the reviews said it makes great coffee. I make 2 mugs of coffee at breakfast, using 700 mLs of water (about 1/2 carafe), which screws thing up because the coffeemaker is programmed to make only a full carafe. So I get a message to add more water which flashes the entire time. After about 2 minutes a timer start counting down then counting up, have no idea why, but the brewing process stops. At some point the process restarts. My first mug is Luke-warm, the second mug, about 15 minutes later is hot. I'm guessing the carafe warming unit doesn't turn on right away.There is one control, a large knob which does everything. Think of a steering wheel that when tilted left or right activates the turn signals and when tilted up or down turns on the parking lights or headlights. A bit tricky. I called customer service and they told me to make a full pot of coffee.

I love this coffee/tea maker! It makes great coffee, hot or cold, and the tea options are fantastic. Plus, instead of having my old bulky coffee maker and an electric hot water kettle taking up all that counter space - now I have this sleek beverage maker on my counter.

This coffeemaker makes the best, smoothest homemade coffee I have ever made. The unit is well constructed and engineered. I also like the thin design. This unit has certainly elevated my coffee drinking experience at home and am exceptionally pleased with it.
