Mr. Coffee® 5-Cup Mini Brew Switch Coffee Maker, Black

So glad I hit the buy button!
For a long time I’ve searched for Mr. Coffee’s 4 cup coffee maker but all I’ve found here and on eBay is one that’s not used. That one is at a ridiculous price when you add in a highway-robbery price for delivery. What would show up in my searches on Amazon was this 5 cup version. I had resisted buying it for about a year, but finally ordered it a few nights ago — then promptly cancelled the order because some reviews made me think I wouldn’t like it. Fast-forward to last night shortly before midnight. I decided to give this maker a chance to prove it was worth buying, so I hit the buy button. It was here, waiting for me when I woke up today.I love it. The design differences between this model and the 4 cup one were things I thought I would hate, but I don’t. Really, I have only one quibble. The filters don’t fit nicely in the filter holder, but that doesn’t affect how they perform. Over time I may be disappointed if the pot’s lid gets coffee stains on it. Cleaning this 5 cup model is easier than the 4 cup one is. That’s because my hand fits more easily in the pot for drying it, thanks to the bigger size. I also like the finish on this model. It’s mostly a matte white which will go with the matte white toaster oven I’ll be receiving tomorrow.I also like the on/off switch that is on both models. I use an Echo smart plug that I can turn on via my voice as soon as I wake up: “Alexa, turn on coffee.” The switch is always in the on position but the plug is off until I tell Alexa to turn on the coffee. When the maker is on, I appreciate the fact there is not automatic shut off after a certain length of time, like there is with other coffee makers. When having two mugs of coffee, I often don’t get around to drinking the second mug till an hour or more later. I want it to be hot when I’m ready for it. Reheating coffee in the microwave is not the same as having the pot on the heat. There’s a scientific reason for this.Now about the coffee: it tastes great with both models. I think it takes the 5 cup model longer to make the coffee but it’s really not an issue. I will never brew 5 cups. Most often, I will use the 2-cup setting with 3 scoops of coffee. I like it strong. Someone needs to let Mr. Coffee know they are lousy at measuring cup sizes. My mug (which looks bigger in the photo than it actually is) holds 11 ounces. The 2 cup setting delivers a little less than 11 ounces. I think Mr. Coffee uses the usual cup size other coffee makers do: just 6 ounces per cup (not the expected 8 ounces for those of us who use a regular measuring cup for our cooking needs). But the 2 cup setting gives me less than 12 ounces. It’s closer to 10.5 ounces. I doubt I’ll ever use more than the 4 cup setting which will give me two mugs of coffee.The pot is easier to pour from versus the 4 cup version. Getting the last little bit out of the 4 cup version is difficult, but super easy with the 5 cup version.It’s obvious I love this 5 cup model. I hope Mr. Coffee won’t stop making it in the future like they did with the 4 cup version. When I need a new coffee maker, I want this model to be here, ready and waiting for me to hit the buy button again.UPDATE: After using the coffee maker for a while I noticed the lid on the pot has a faint stain that I can’t wash off. I expect it to get worse over time so I ordered the black version so I could use the black pot in my white coffee maker (see photo). I know it’ll get stained too, but I won’t be able to see it. Totally worth it. I’m adding two photos to show how it looks if you want to avoid the coffee stains. You can just use the black pot or you can adapt the white pot to accomplish the same thing. Just remove the just the white lid and snap the black lid into the white pot. Photos show what I mean, I hope. This white pot/black lid is what I’m happiest with.

Good for a simple cup of coffee. Bad for wondering where you went wrong in life.
Simple, easy, basic. What more can you ask for? Does what you need it too. Fill with water, add a paper filter and some coffee, close the lid and wait a few minutes. No fancy programming buttons or displays. A plug, and an ON/OFF switch. Why can’t the rest of life be this easy? Good quality for the price, coffee tastes like coffee, and a good size for a lonely, single guy, contemplating life choices each morning, as he stares out into the world, wondering how to stop the impending march of time.

Morning Magic
Living up to the reputation of their name, this small Mr. Coffee is simple and quick. I cannot believe how easy it is and it holds about 5 cups although I mostly brew 2 – 3 cups. It doesn’t take up much counter space, so I leave it out all the time.The water heats up really fast and it’s just the right temperature to pass over the coffee grounds once and extract all the flavor. A great addition to any space-challenged kitchen area.

Could have been better
Power switch bad location wrong type. You really have to watch handling it the switch turns on very easily and is very quiet . A lot of times I don’t think that the unit is on while I pour water into it. Then you can hear the noise from the steam even when there’s hardly any water in it it’s very hot. Then you have to wait for it to cool down a little bit before it starts spitting at you to pour more water in it. Otherwise it makes a good cup of coffee.

The latest update of my 5 star review I wrote 2 months ago is unfortunately down to 0 if I could give a zero star because the coffee maker just stopped working on the day when the so called return window closed! So basically the machine lasted for 2 months. On top of that a customer service agent on Amazon lied to me that I will receive a refund in 24 hours but I got no email stating that the refund was made so I wasted my time and money with the machine and the customer service agent. Avoid this seller!*******************************It is super simple, easy to operate reusable filter coffee maker that turned to be my best purchase! It makes up to 4 cups of coffee for less than 2 minutes and you just wash the filter under a rinsing water and ready you are for your next tasty cup of coffee! The only disadvantage is that the seller doesn’t say you need to buy the reusable filter separately which was a bad aurptice for me expecting the filter to be included in my coffee maker purchase. This caused me to have my coffee maker unusable for 3 weeks at home while I was waiting for the filter to come by another seller. Once you have them joined, you can enjoy your coffee time.

Its terrific and if you are careful and rinse the grounds out of the filter paper one can last 4 days, its got a hole for the coffee to drip through on the side of the filter holder which is weird.When loaded I turn in on for 10 seconds then turn off the machine for 3/4 minutes to make the coffee swell otherwise the water comes out too fast rather than a slow drip.Its makes good coffee.
