Mr. Coffee10-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker, Insulated Thermal Carafe, Brew Strength Selection, Brew Now or Later, Stainless Steel

This was a replacement for a probably 15+ year old Mr. Coffee model BVMC-PSTX91-WM that my wife just loved. This model BVMC-DT102 coffee maker appears to be an updated version of our prior model.As far as we are concerned, this coffee maker is perfect in every way. Absolutely love the thermal stainless steel carafe which is a much better option than the el cheapo hotplate style makers with a glass carafe. No safety concerns or burnt coffee. With the press to pour lid you don’t have to contend with sloshing or spillage.Set it for delay brew and you can wake up to piping hot fresh coffee. The carafe keeps the coffee hot and fresh for hours.Simple to set and operate. No need to reset the delay brew time – remembers the prior setting. Just fill the water reservoir, add filter and coffee, push the button and you are good to go (but remember to empty any remaining coffee in the carafe or you will wake up to a puddle on your countertop – don’t ask how I know this).The removable water reservoir and filter basket are also great features. Makes getting the machine ready for its next round a breeze.While it is too soon to comment on long term reliability, have had it in service for about a week now. Probably brewed 10 or 12 pots of coffee in that time. No problems or concerns to report – functions exactly as it should.Would buy another in a minute and, since it is the wife’s favorite, I may do so to have a spare on hand just in case they are ever discontinued.Wish I could give it 10 stars!!

I'm super impressed with the thoughtful design of this coffee maker. First and foremost, the coffee tastes great! The carafe keeps the coffee warm for hours and fits neatly in the unit. It's easy enough to add water to the reservoir when it's attached to the coffee maker, but the added feature of being removable for filling straight from the tap is great. The removable filter basket is nicely designed with easy-to-replace water filter discs and month selector so you know when it's time to replace it. You can use standard paper filters (as I prefer to do) or optional reusable filters. The speed of brewing is exceptional. I had previously used Bunn coffee makers for several decades simply for the speed of brewing, but am much happier with this product which is very nearly as fast and doesn't need to use electricity to keep a reservoir of water hot at all times. Even when using the "strong" option (which brews the coffee more slowly) the speed is very good. The "brew later" function is very useful and easy to set. The fact that there is no hotplate or heated reservoir also makes it safer and more energy efficient. Not to mention that it also looks great and not cheaply made like so many others. Even the cord storage in the back of the unit is very thoughtful so the excess can be easily kept out of sight. The only thing I would mention as not ideal is the slow rate of pour from the carafe, but I need to learn more patience anyway! I've only had this product for about six weeks, but it seems like it will last a long time as it appears to be high quality in every way.

This is my second machine and I think it's the best coffee maker ever .I do not take out the water container to fill it up I just fill it where it is on my first one the seal got bad from constant in and out placing it back on ..it started to leak.Called the company and they won't give u the round seal part. I also use tape to keep the container still ...I learned from the first oneThe first one just stopped working so we're on our second.I do like the insulated caref. Keeps coffee warm for sure.Just clean when u can makes it last longer.The beep I got a few times was this small white thing that floats in the water fill container when u put water in and it was stuff down a few times ...but it's been fine as long as it floats when u fill it . Overall good coffee maker

I love the style and ease of use. I drink coffee strong and black and this keeps coffee warm without burning it for possibly half the day. Our coffee doesn't last that long so I'm guessing.This was a replacement for the same model. I would have given 5☆ if the basket drawer did not stick. It is a minor irritation to have to fight with this first thing in the morning. While the clock has never worked that's not been an issue save for not being able to use delay brew. The previous ones worked great and I will be replacing this with the same model as these coffee makers work great and are durable. Our hard water means the average lifespan is about three years. These last twice as long. They are with the exception of the carafe easy to clean. Narrow opening makes cleaning difficult. The coffee is strong and tastes great.☆I did not contact or request a replacement. As it's a two hour drive one way I decided to keep it. It's quite possible the seller would have replaced it.
