Customer Reviews

Mr. Coffee without the carafe!
Terry

Coffee is one of my four main food groups, so I am always pleased to try a new twist on coffee brewing. The Mr. Coffee Power Serve is a carafe-less coffee brewing system with a convenient, delayed brewing feature, a pause and serve feature, and cup-at-a-time dispensing.You notice immediately upon unpacking that there is no carafe! The coffee is brewed directly into a reservoir, and you dispense your coffee directly into your cup or mug by pressing it against a pedal in the front. You can brew up to 12 cups at a time, and it takes 10 minutes to brew a full 12 cups.The reservoir is designed to be used as a pitcher from which to pour the fresh water, but since it is a square shape, I found it to be a little awkward. I use a water pitcher instead. One very nice feature is that there are clearly marked "steps" in the back of the machine where you pour the water that makes it easy to add exactly the right amount. This is a big improvement over the hard-to-read marks on the side of most brewers.There is a digital clock on the front that allows you to prepare your coffee maker before you go to bed, set a morning brew time, and wake up to freshly brewed coffee. Additionally, there is a brew now button, which lights up while the coffee is brewing. A loud beep that signals when the brewing cycle is done. On the front and on both sides of this coffee maker, there are clear panels which let you see how much coffee is left in the reservoir.The brewing basket comes out easily for cleaning and for adding your filter and coffee. It uses round, basket-type filters rather than the cone shaped ones, but sadly there are none included in the box so be sure and buy some if you order this Mr. Coffee.Read more ›

Quite Dissatisfied - unfortunately
Clifford J. Phillips

This coffeemaker was bought to replace another carafe-less coffeemaker from 'Cuisinart', which gave up the ghost. Coffee, is a must in our family - 1x/day-weekdays and 2x/day-weekends, not counting friends visiting or family coming over.In the past I have had 3+ Mr. Coffee units and been fairly well pleased so I thought this one would be a decent unit. Boy was I surprised.The Good:1) I liked the speed at which it brewed - very nice and fast2) The layout of controls is simple and uncomplicated3) The coffee tasted as it should - no odd tastes that we could determine4) The water fill area is nicely wide - compared to others that I have used5) The ease of cleaning - IMOThe Bad:1A) Purchase Date: 7/13/20111B) Date of First use: 7/14/20111C) Stopped working date: 8/21/20111D) Length of product life: 5 & 1/2 weeks - (39 days total)[TOTALLY unacceptable]2) The inability of setting the length of time for the auto shutoff - my Cuisinart had a 2/3/4 hour setting choice before it shutoff3) As some have indicated - sputtering/spitting when getting the last amount of coffee4) The inability to easily determine how much coffee is left in the reservoir5) The stiffness of the dispensing lever arm - It would push to unit backwards and away from me, so I usually had to hold on to the top when dispensing.6) The stiffness of the top cover lid, as it would not stay up & open when trying to fill the unit; it kept swinging shut so I would hold it with my hand..This is not a product I can recommend. I will be contacting Mr. Coffee and see how well their customer service is, but the product still does not impress me.Read more ›

Great customer service
peace

The coffee maker that I received made coffee but the dispenser did not work. I contacted Mr Coffee's customer service and they sent me a new machine without any hassles. I always appreciate a company with good customer service. The new machine works well.This coffee maker is rather bulky. It takes up about the same amount of counter space as my old coffee maker: Cuisinart 12-Cup Brew Central Coffeemaker, but the Mr Coffee is larger on top and this adds a lot of bulk. The other thing I don't like about this coffee maker is that the reservoir is plastic. If you drink the coffee right away it's not a big problem, but if you let the coffee sit for a while it tends to get a plastic flavor. I prefer coffee makers with glass carafes.

DON'T buy this machine
Bruce B. Hardy

Previously had a similar coffee maker from another manufacturer, so I had a good basis for comparison. Comparing the two, the Mr. Coffee is a POORLY designed machine and came in a REALLY DISTANT second. First, to make a fresh pot of coffee, there are three components which must be cleaned rather than only two. Second, the "squarish" shape of the dispenser makes pouring water into the machine VERY difficult ....and the dark tint of the of the dispenser makes it difficult to see how much water or coffee is in the dispenser. Third and worse, the machine uses an air pump to create pressure in the dispenser to force the coffee to be dispensed .... rather than having the coffee on top of the machine which would permit gravity dispensing. As a result, after about 4 cups have been dispensed, it takes an excessive amount of time for the air pump (which is noisy)to build up sufficient pressure to force the coffee to be dispensed.At this point, I'd love to get my money back (didn't buy it from Amazon), but instead, I'll give it to Goodwill and hope they'll forgive me. Then I'll buy a less "sophisticated" machine.
