Very nice for the price
I paid about $30 for this coffeemaker and couldn't be much happier. I've had terrible luck with more expensive Mr. Coffee makers having mechanical issues and having a poorly designed carafe that spills every time you pour, so I was delighted to pay less for this Oster and have NONE of those issues. It looks quite nice on the counter, has a reusable filter that works great and has been going issue-free for months. The only thing that would make this 5 star (for the price) would be if the programming feature was improved. Currently, you hold down a button to set current or delay brew time. It only cycles forward, so if you want to set delay brew ten minutes earlier, you have to hold that button as is cycles through 23 hours, and 50 minutes.
A good basic no frills coffee maker
So I read a lot of reviews before I bought a new coffeemaker. We loved our old one and hated to get rid of it but a part broke that couldn't be fixed. This one does look attractive. I don't like that I have to pull it out from under the counter top to fill it with water. So far I like the carafe, it seems to pour without spilling. Pouring the water into the receptacle in the back is tricky with the last bit of water, it tends to get into the grounds part and leak down onto the heating element. Its most annoying feature: you can't turn the warming plate back on to keep coffee warm. There is no way to keep the coffee warm without running a new cycle of coffee. And the clock can't be set going backwards so you have to push the button down over and over for each minute, and if its 12 hours off, it takes forever to set it. Annoying. The time delay brew feature is nice. The permanent filter has been easy to clean. It is a pretty noisy machine when it brews but I don't mind that at all. Its...
Love this coffee maker
I agree with the last review, it's a great pot for the money-$35. It looks classy on the counter next to my stainless steel range, has nice blue display lights. I haven't used the delay brew feature. We also like the 'strong brew' feature. And most importantly- it does not dribble when filling or pouring. We love it and would buy it again.
