Great little coffeemaker
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve had this coffeemaker for about four weeks now and so far, it works very well. The size is just right (I don’t have a big kitchen) and it brews the coffee quickly and the right amount for about two people. Love it so no complaints…yet.

If you like fiber in your coffee…..
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
….then choose the Mr. Coffee DRX23. This 12-cup coffeemaker had all the features I was looking for. It’s programmable so I wake up to a fresh pot every morning, complete with grounds INSIDE the carafe. There isn’t a permanent filter option with this model so you are left with only the paper filters which flop down on one side about 97% of the time. They are the correct size and shape for this machine to fit the flat-bottom basket so I can’t figure out what is causing the fold over. My husband also sets up the machine so it’s not limited to one user failure, it happens to him as well. I will be looking for another manufacturer’s machine as we prefer our fiber from other food sources.

I don’t drink coffee, but my guests said the coffee was good, and it was very easy and quick to make.

SMALL COFFEE MAKER
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
THIS IS A GREAT COFFEE MAKER IF YOU ONLY NEED 4 OR 5 CUPS OF COFFEE. YOU CAN ALSO SET IT TO AUTOMATICLY START IN THE AM. THE PAUSE FEATURE DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK, BUT I HAVE FOUND THAT THAT IS A PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE PAUSE FEATURED COFFEE MAKERS. I LIKE IT AND USE IT DAILY.

Simple success

Simple to use, very quick, and always brewing at the perfect temperature. Makes a good amount of coffee, one for waking up and one for the road.

Works well for our 1 drinker household
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
One coffee drinker in our household; someone who doesn’t like to wake up, start the coffee, then start the day. Said person would rather have coffee ready to go in the morning without any extra effort. For under 20 bucks, this coffee maker does that like a dream. Set it the night before, wake up to delicious coffee smells throughout the house! Yes, it loses time a little bit every week, but for the price, I didn’t expect too much. Resetting it is part of the coffee ritual.

For the price, I can’t find a better little coffee maker. The programmable timer works great, it can brew a small pot, and it gets plenty hot. Works!

Little thing is hugely great!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This tiny little coffee maker has great features for a tiny price. It is very small and doesn’t take up a lot of space. Very easy to clean. Makes great coffee. I love that you can set the timer and have the coffee made for you when you wake up. I also love that it has an automatic shut off, so no worring if you remembered to turn the thing off or not. Great maker for the price!

The perfect balance of form and function
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I like this coffee pot for several reasons; one, it is programmable, which means I can set it the night before and wake up to hot coffee; two, it is symmetrical, which means it does not favor right-handed people – the top flips back, so you can fill from both sides, and it has a water level window on both sides; and three, it has a cutoff switch so if the carafe is not in place exactly, you don’t end up with coffee all over the counter top – I almost found this out the hard way – but the coffee sat in the top of the unit til I dropped the carafe back into place. The digital readout is black LCD, not terribly bright, and unreadable in the dark ( I had one that was green glowing, which I thought was better ) but if the power does go out (briefly), it doesn’t lose time, which is a good feature for me. Simple, and effective.

Great product!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
My boyfriend and I live in an apt with a kitchen that has very little counter space. This tiny coffee maker is awesome for us. I use it to make hot water for tea and he uses it for coffee. It takes up virtually no space so I don’t mind it being on the counter all the time. I have had two of these so far. My boyfriend chipped the pot of the first one… When I looked into replacing the tiny pot (through the mr. coffee co directly) it turns out it costs only a couple bucks more to buy a whole new one (through amazon)! Rather than replace just the pot, I went ahead and ordered another- so here we are on #2 and I still don’t have a single complaint. I saw that some people complained about the clock running slow but I set all my clocks ahead a few minutes and have never noticed it fall behind. Honestly, you only get two cups outta a single brew with this machine, which is cool because I’d be worried about my bf’s health if he was drinking more than two cups in a sitting anyway. So if you live alone, have a small space or just like a couple of cups of joe in the am, then this is probably the coffee maker for you.
