10-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker, Insulated Thermal Carafe, Brew Strength Selection, Brew Now or Later, Stainless Steel

This was a replacement for a probably 15+ year old Mr. Coffee model BVMC-PSTX91-WM that my wife just loved. This model BVMC-DT102 coffee maker appears to be an updated version of our prior model. As far as we are concerned, this coffee maker is perfect in every way. Absolutely love the thermal stainless steel carafe which is a much better option than the el cheapo hotplate style makers with a glass carafe. No safety concerns or burnt coffee. With the press to pour lid you don’t have to contend with sloshing or spillage. Set it for delay brew and you can wake up to piping hot fresh coffee. The carafe keeps the coffee hot and fresh for hours. Simple to set and operate. No need to reset the delay brew time – remembers the prior setting. Just fill the water reservoir, add filter and coffee, push the button and you are good to go (but remember to empty any remaining coffee in the carafe or you will wake up to a puddle on your countertop – don’t ask how I know this). The removable water reservoir and filter basket are also great features. Makes getting the machine ready for its next round a breeze. While it is too soon to comment on long term reliability, have had it in service for about a week now. Probably brewed 10 or 12 pots of coffee in that time. No problems or concerns to report – functions exactly as it should. Would buy another in a minute and, since it is the wife’s favorite, I may do so to have a spare on hand just in case they are ever discontinued. Wish I could give it 10 stars!!

I have had the normal range of cheap coffee makers, typically replaced when the glass carafe broke. Then I got a thermal maker from Black and Decker, which had numerous flaws (I wrote a less than flattering review of that one). So this time, I made the effort to read reviews. This one has lots and they are really, really helpful. Some are glowing, and some are not, so I appreciate and respect all of the views expressed, and don't discount anything negative people have said. My perspective is: moving from a low-end thermal maker that had all the issues this Mr. Coffee model claims to resolve, I have in the first few days of use been completely impressed. The water reservoir on the right is easily accessible, even in a relatively tight space to the side, since it lifts straight up. The basket on the right needs about 6" of clearance on the side to pull out. (So under a cabinet might not be a great place for it). Both are easily filled. Markings on the water reservoir are clear and legible. Several people have complained about the water cover, but it seems simple and fine to me; just resting on top. I live in an area with excellent tap water, so have not used the supplied water filter. Normal paper basket filters work fine for me; I don't make a full pot (usually 6 "cups"), but no sign of overflowing as reported by others, even with coffee ground rather finely. (My previous cheaper maker would often overflow and was a pain to fill and hard to read) The coffee is hot. Perfectly hot. I like that I can rinse and empty the carafe with a swish of warm water, but even when it was cold the coffee was hot. The coffee stays hot in the carafe as promised, for hours. (My previous maker neither of these were true, even before the gasket seal fell out) Note that there is no heating element to keep the coffee warm, only to boil the water during the phase of making coffee. I looked at several Bunn models; they all had heaters to keep water near brewing temperature, which seems wasteful and unnecessary to me. As advertised, the coffee from this model brews very quickly. The coffee tastes great. This was a total surprise for me. I love a great cup of coffee, and have tried many different makers, methods, beans, grinds and so on over the years, but never was able to get something I loved at home without jumping through hoops. This model has made me a few really exceptionally good pots of coffee, without me doing anything special. I think this is because the water is hot and distributed over the grounds in the filter basket evenly. Several people remarked that coffee was a little weaker; I had a different experience: same grind and amount of coffee/water as my old maker and I get much richer and more flavorful coffee. This is really what is making me smile. The carafe seats nicely into the space for it. It feels solid and "locked in". (previous maker would often overflow if carafe was not seated just perfectly. Others have said this can happen with this model, but it seems far less likely to me.) Carafe pours cleanly and at a normal rate as far as I can see. Others have said it's slow because it's a vacuum seal, and perhaps that's true, but it's not remarkable slow to my eye. Front panel controls are nice looking and seem well constructed, as do other parts. It doesn't feel cheap. We'll see -- I have been so sorely disappointed in so many products made these days, even high-end name brands. We bought a toaster fro Krups and the lettering wore off the knobs in a matter of months. Really? As I mentioned in my review of my old Black and Decker coffee maker, the plastic button pad peeled up and I had to stick it down again. Really? So fingers crossed, but both design and construction seem solid and durable. After a few days, this seems like a very well made, thoughtfully designed product that does a simple job very well.

Wow! I completely worn out my old Mr. Coffee machine! It was corroded at the bottom corners & leaking. Corroded somewhere at the bottom of the machine in the middle & leaking! The thermal carafe was leaking where the top plastic part mets the carafe. I’ve had several Mr. Coffee’s. What I love is after brewing I unplug the machine. The coffee stays warm well into the late afternoon. The best coffee maker!

Works good, I'm satisfied overall and would buy again. Carafe keeps coffee pretty hot without heat. Has cool features in the electronics like.. how long since brewed, beeps when brewing is done. Brews pretty fast. However there are a few minor annoyances or things to note. Carafe pour hole is small, therefore it pours a little slow (as noted in other reviews), unless you just removed the lid to pour. Hot steam comes from the top rear edge while coffee is brewing which slightly steam-melted the paint on my low cabinet bottoms. The water filter disc is a good feature, but it's more of an annoyance since it needs replacing every few months, and gets in the way when cleaning the basket. Again, overall I like this coffee maker and would buy it again.

Bought this 5 years ago. ($79.00 in 2017). Best coffee maker I have ever owned. I can still brew a full pot in the evening and it remains piping hot in the morning and since it has not been on a burner overnight, the flavor is still great. Full pot stays hot (not warm......hot) for 10+ hours. A half pot stays hot for 4+ hours. A quarter pot stays hot for 1-2hours. The removable water reservoir is great. I can't imagine going back to the days of having to pour water into a built in reservoir. Everything still works after an estimated 3,000 pots of coffee made over 5 years. The flimsy lid to the reservoir broke when it fell to the ground in 2018. Black duct tape fixed it and it has been good since. The rubber seal around the coffe pot lid wore out after a few years. I substituted with an elastic band and it works fine. I have never used the timer feature. The only technical flaw is that the counter used to indicate when you should run a cleaning cycle resets if you unplug the unit, I just run a cleaining cycle once a month instead.

到着も思ったより早くて、すぐに使えた事と、説明書の日本語記載はなかったですけど、ボタンをイジれば簡単に分かりました☆ デザインもかっこ良くて大変気に入りました☆

Tengo 4 meses de uso y hasta ahora es una excelente cafetera. Llegó en perfecto estado a casa, requiere filtros de papel yo uso uno de plastico de Mr. Coffee y le quedó muy bien. Cumple con su principal función de mantener el café caliente sin que se re-queme, es de bonito diseño (las visitas la aman) respecto a los comentarios que "se derrama" eso sucede cuando no la utilizan adecuadamente ya nos paso una ocasión y fue porque la persona que la cargó puso café y agua demás. Hasta ahora una muy buena adquisición.

Lo unico que no me gusta mucho es que el cafe sale muy lento de la jarra. De ahi en más (que es en realidad algo no muy importante para mi) todo esta perfecto. El cafe dura caliente +4 horas y al no tener una resistencia que lo mantenga caliente (si no una jarra termica) ahorras energía y el café no se quema

Excelente!
