4 out of 5 stars Mr. Coffee Winner   March 15, 2008
Doc Bill (Princeville, Hawaii)
This unit is strong, intuitive and makes darned good coffee. Thia is a vast improvement over the previous model as the buttons can be operated by normal folks. Brew interruption, a disaster in the older model, is well functioning and the pot extracts easily for quick pours.


4 out of 5 stars Better than the $70 Krups it replaced!   February 14, 2008
Truth Seeker (Grand Rapids, MI)

Huh--I don't get these lukewarm reviews?

I had a Braun that lasted years--was the best machine I'd ever had. Unfortunately, it is no longer made so I replaced it with a Krups that I paid $70 for. After 6 months, I just got irritated with all its idiosyncracies. Here's how I compare this Mr. Coffee with that Krups...

1. I love the simplicity of the Mr. Coffee. You can figure out how to program it and run it by intuition alone. After 6 months with the Krups, I had to get the manual out everytime I needed to re-set it. And, yes, I am quite tech-savvy.

2. I love the simplicity of the Mr. Coffee (yes, I'm repeating that). No irritating "bells and whistles". I like that it does not beep, loud and irritatingly, when the coffee is done, like the Krups did.

3. I like that it does not beep and turn off if there is no water in the tank, like the Krups did. This actually means the Mr. Coffee allows you to re-warm a leftover pot of coffee, if you are crude enough to do so (I am!). Believe it or not, the Krups would not allow you to do this.

4. I like that the Mr. Coffee carafe is much thicker glass than the Krups. I also like that the handle is not just "glued on" like the Krups is.

5. I've never had the filter fall over and get grounds in the carafe. The Krups did this about half the time, due to having to swing the basket closed which would catch the top of the filter.

6. I like that there is a huge target for pouring water in the tank. The Krups almost required one to be a contortionist.

7. I like the huge, well-sealed, water level markings on both sides of the tank. The Krups had a little tube on one side that always got air bubbles and leaked on the counter.

8. Speaking of leaking, the tank in the Mr. Coffee has not. The Krups would leak a little onto the counter about once a week.

9. Perhaps there has been a design adjustment, but my Mr. Coffee carafe does not leak when pouring. The Krups did EVERY time.

10. I like that you can see the display all the time. The Krups backlight would only stay on for a minute or so after pressing one of the buttons.

11. I will say this--the Krups made hotter coffee. To be honest, it was a bit too hot for me. This Mr. Coffee does not make the coffee as hot but it is sufficient for my wife and me. It's hot enough that, without comparing to the Krups, one probably wouldn't even notice.

In ending, I don't know what the longevity will be--I haven't had a Mr. Coffee brand in decades. But for $27, even a year will be fine compared to (too many of) the alternatives.




2 out of 5 stars Poor Design   January 2, 2008
Lady Gwynn (WI United States)
My husband bought me this coffee maker for Christmas. I won't take it back, but there are a few design flaws that are hard to overlook. First, the top is an "all in one unit." That means I have to move the whole unit away from the cabinets to fill with water. Unless you have about 22" plus space between the counter and the upper cabinet, this is very cumbersome. Also, as the first reviewer wrote, there is heavy condensation on said top. Lastly, it is unbelievable how much coffee spills over from the poorly designed pot. A deeper, more defined pouring spout is needed. All I can say is this coffee maker is poor to middling and the designers should try their products in a real working kitchen with real coffee. Oh by the way, the coffee tastes like regular coffee.


2 out of 5 stars Needs new carafe design   September 30, 2007
R. Picton (Irmo, SC)
I had the old Mr. Coffee coffeemaker for 10 years and loved it, but it died last year, so I bought this new model as a replacement. As other reviewers have mentioned, the carafe spills consistently when you are pouring coffee in your cup. It is not a big deal - just annoying because you will always have to wipe your counter after pouring your coffee. This is a case where Mr. Coffee should have left the original design in place, but I suppose this new model is cheaper for them to manufacture. I have noticed that the coffee filter occasionally folds over at the edge, causing the grounds to get in with your cofee, but this is not very common. If you make sure your filter is pushed out around the edges, it will decrease the chances of that issue. Overall, I am not impressed with this coffeemaker, but it gets the job done.


2 out of 5 stars Review of DRX23 Mr. Coffee   March 4, 2007
Carol S. (Florida)

I am not talking behind Mr. Coffee's back- I wrote and told them what I am saying here. Lousy design of decanter and machine. The decanter does not pour well- even being slow and careful, the water or coffee runs out all over. The well area where you pour the water into- the condensation runs into the well when you lift the lid to make new coffee- ick. Do not buy this- I won't again, and I'm a Mr. Coffee brand person.
