So far this coffee maker has worked very well for the price I paid. I was looking for a programmable coffee maker to have coffee ready for me in the morning. It has an easy to use program to set the time - very similar to setting an alarm. The coffee has been good. As far as I know there's no filter or anything that "purifies" the water. The one downside I have experienced is that when the carafe is removed while it is still brewing there are usually some drops of coffee that come down. If you wait until it is completely finished brewing this isn't a problem.
This is a very good product, it is very easy to program, and it also is very easy to clean, it has pause and serve so you can get a cup of coffee while it is still brewing, which is a very nice feature to have.
I like that the clock on it is easy to see, I have had some coffee pots that are progammable and you couldn't even read the time and would get all foggy, this is bright and easy to see.
We had this coffee pot and our housed burned. I had to get another one just like the one we had. It is very good. It says that you can get coffee out while it is still dripping and it will not be stronger, but it is. I suggest to program it so that the coffee will be done by the time you get up in the morning. Nothing better in the morning than waking to the smell of fresh brewed coffee!
My husband and I bought one of Mr. Coffee 12 cup programmable coffeemaker. It has all of the features we were looking for in a coffee
pot. So much so we got another in the event that one breaks or gets broken. We will have a backup.
I like this coffee maker. I don't really have any complaints. Though for some reason my filters always bend over and a few of the grounds get through - I am going to try different filters to see if they make a difference.
