Recently have baught this Mr. Coffee 12-cup Switch Coffee Maker. Like it very much. I've had rather tight budget, but despite low price the coffemaker seems to be just what I need. It's simple, no special features. But it works good, and I have nice coffee every morning.

I recently had to get this coffee pot because we had a BUNN for 23 yrs and woke up one morning and the BUNN finally had to be laid to rest..lol..The Mr. Coffee is a good coffee pot..the cons of it are the amount of time it takes to brew a pot of coffee..the carafe leaks when you pour a cup of coffee...

The Mr Coffee 12 cup switch coffee maker is quiet and easy to use.  It makes good coffee.  We set the coffee maker up at night so it is easy to switch on in the morning.  It is easy to clean up and we have yet to have a bad cup of coffee

We've enjoyed this coffee maker. While it is certainly not high end, and therefore does not have the positive attributes and durability of the fancy ones - it works for the price. If you need a decent coffee maker, but this one.

Very simple, basic coffee maker, since my retirement I don't keep a fixed schedule so no need for programable feature.  I will replace it with another one just like it - I seldom get more than 2 years from a coffee maker.

I really like this coffee maker because it is really quick.  I regret not getting the programable model but still love the maker.  It is stylish and doesn't take a lot of room on my cabinet.  The 12-cup holding reservior is clear and easy to see how much water is being held.  Hint: if you are brewing tea bags like I like to do a lot, put the bags in the pot to steep- the filter well holds very little water at a time.  Overall, a good buy!

Great Coffee Maker

Just an on/off switch...simple, easy to use, and makes great coffee.

not even worth its cost

Cheap and easy and no frills thought it would be great - less to break. I was wrong - have had it less than 6 months and already I need a new one. Makes coffee slower than a dead turtle and doesn't stop making when you withdraw the pot. Don't waste your money.

Great.... darn good coffee.

And you can't beat the price. I haven't had a problem with it, makes good hot coffee... easy to use, dosen't take up much counter space for a 12 cup. I am pleased with it.

coffee tastes really good

this may be a basic coffee maker, however the coffee tastes very good. i had an expensive Cuisinart prior to this one. For the money, i was suprised at how fast it brewed and how flavorful the coffee tasted. would definatly recommend this coffee maker.

5 stars

Excellent no-frills coffee maker. I replaced a Braun which gave up after 4 years. This coffee maker is made of a more flexible plastic, is more difficult to fill with water, and the flat bottomed filters (I also purchased a permanent filter) seem less effecient than wedge shaped ones. That said, I'm very happy with this coffee maker and was pleasantly surprised to find it at Kmart after much shopping around. Surperior value for a 12-cup coffee maker.

Easily cracks

The pot isn't very durable and can have leaks easily.

Low Cost Coffee Maker

Great, low cost coffee maker. Makes up to 12 cups of coffee so enough for 2-3 people. Not high end, but perfect if you're looking for something inexpensive.
