Review on ☕ Optimal Brew Thermal System Coffee Maker by Mr. Coffee - 10 Cup Capacity by Sarala Cannon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bought a second one while we last!

Again, people who don't know how to use a coffee pot have problems. Don't hit the tank on the ground and it won't break. Don't fill the filter with so much coffee that the water overflows and makes a mess. Do not brew coffee without emptying the coffee pot and making sure it is centered and fully inserted into the coffee maker. I've had this maker for six years now and I know the only way to get in trouble with it is to do something stupid. The coffee maker will make excellent coffee if you use the right coffee and in the right amount. Use a dark roast if you don't like a lot of caffeine. Start with just 1/4 cup of coffee, see if it's strong enough, and if not, add another tablespoon (without overloading it). As I said mine is six years old and still works great and makes the best coffee we can buy or make with other pots. We have a Keurig that we love, but the best coffee comes out of this kettle. Yes, I bought another one because it's the best bench we've ever had and I know I won't be without this model again when he rolls the dice. I saw a photo of the stupid owner complaining that it was overcrowded and there was enough coffee in the basket for five or six coffee pots. And trust me You can make stronger coffee with less, not more. If you have enough coffee to get water flowing over and around the filter, you're not making coffee, you're making weak coffee. If you can't hold onto the container, use a separate measuring cup or other container to fill in place. And if you can't figure out how to use the pot, understand that it's your fault. Run a few bottomless pans if you want to see if it leaks. If not, "do you think you're doing something wrong?"

Pros
  • Best in their niche
