Comment:
A best buy rating from Consumer Reports is the GOLD STANDARD for me when making purchases of any kind. I choose my Car, TV, cell phone, and countless other items based on positive reviews from CR. I have never been disappointed until now. Several shoppers have stated that the MR COFFEE rated above does not brew coffee hot enough, and it Does not stay hot. This is true even with the optional thermal decanter. Whats worse is the ergonomics of this device. If not perfectly placed the carraige will cause a mess through spillage.The carrage is not centered over the pot. I have had many drip coffee makers over the years and have never remotely experienced this. Let's face it folks, were not talking Rocket Science here.A good drip coffee maker should be easy to use and make reasonably good coffee. Not at all the case here. CR. NEEDS TO REEVALUATE THIS ITEM

Comment:
Purchased this coffee maker because our Cuisinart with thermal carafe does not make coffee hot enough (averaging about 165 degrees). Selected this model because of the Consumer Reports recommendation/rating. Brewed the first pot and checked the temp - 170 degrees. Used it for a couple of weeks to see if anything would change, of course it did not. Boxed it up and sent it back. If you want coffee to brew at the optimal temperature (195-200 degrees), this is not the unit you want.
How long have you owned it:

Comment:
It might be under warranty, but I don't think I want another one. We woke up to a kitchen with coffee everywhere except where it was suppose to be. The little PLASTIC part that controls the coffee water going into the carafe broke and the filter basket doesn't hold 12 cups of coffee. Hence, coffee and coffee grounds on the counter, down the cabinets, down the dishwasher, running across the floor...well, you get the picture. This little PLASTIC part controls the whole operation and the carafe pushes it in as one places the carafe into the coffeemaker. If it breaks, and it did, the above will occur everytime. It is not a repairable part. I brought out our old camping percolator and it works just fine. So much for Consumers Reports Best Buys!
