This coffeemaker is ideal for a certain type of coffee aficionado who must have a morning cup of coffee every day, but who doesn't have gourmet tastes and is more interested in reliable coffeemaker function. I have owned an espresso maker and coffeemakers made by Krups, Faberware and Mr. Coffee, and this is the machine I have come back to most often. I did go through a phase of grinding fresh coffee every day and using unbleached cone filters exclusively, but I didn't notice enough of a difference to make the extra work worth it. Since then, my morning routine has been to use commercial ground coffee in either a basket or cone filter brewed fresh every morning, immediately followed by plain hot water for a 20 oz. mug of decaf tea to load up on fluids early in the day. I use the coffeemaker for 2 or sometimes even 3 more mugs of decaf tea later in the day because I get thirsty more often than hungry. With this much daily use, I've been pretty hard on coffeemakers, and I prefer to buy durable and reliable brands like Mr. Coffee rather than complicated and expensive machines that would wear out sooner.
The 4-cup size of this machine is perfect for a single person who brews several cups of coffee a day. It's also an ideal water heater for tea, instant soup and oatmeal when boiled water is too hot and inconvenient. I've never thrown out one of these coffeemakers because it wasn't working; the reason was almost always because the hotplate is chipped and corroded, which happens with all models I've owned. I've never used a programmable coffeemaker because I don't want coffee to be brewed automatically when I sleep late.
If your tastes are more towards fancy espresso drinks and exotic coffees, you'll probably find fault with this machine. But if your tastes are plain and you are more concerned with reliability than special features, this is a machine with solid performance that you can trust.

Great little coffee maker!!! Replaced my Keurig!
I love this little coffee maker. Believe it or not, this one replaced my Keurig which worked only when it wanted to! I use it in our camper, so for anyone who is trying to save space, or has an RV, this one is absolutely perfect!! It is small, so it will only make 4 cups of coffee at a time. The coffee maker keeps the coffee warm. Great value for the money!!!
