Review on Mr Coffee® 10 Cup Space Saving Brewer by Pavan Cormier

This item replaces a Better Homes & Garden (BHG) coffee maker with built-in coffee grinder (set can be used), reusable filter, stainless steel carafe and heating plate (no adaptability pod) . About $90 in 2013. A month ago I bought a stainless steel carafe and capsule model from Mr Coffee. The BHG grinder was getting pretty boring (2019) so I already had a separate bean grinder ♡ Includes reusable pad filter, pad holder, water tank, carbon cartridge holder, $1 activated carbon cartridge, purchased separately 1 gold basket reusable filter (max )$ must Buy carbon filters (monthly or in bulk)☆ Everything is dishwasher safe EXCEPT carafe and lid, carbon holder, water tank; Rinse in top rack only Brew basket, pod holder Benefits Great compact design for the jug and pod combo Easy to use and the coffee is HOT! 5 minutes full brew for 10 cups per carafe, 7 minutes for a strong carafe) Soft beep when finished Removable but easy to insert water tank (10 cup line, probably max 12 cups to clean the system) No carafe heating plate, for that but no burnt coffee taste; Carafe stays warm for a few hours The carafe lid has an easy push button (can hold the carafe 180° to empty it completely, no spills) and 30° easy eject by twisting Brew later = set time when to start brewing Separate hard brew option allows hot water to seep into coffee grounds to preserve flavor and intensity. Clear white LED display and reservoir light, but not bright in the dark (less than the new fridge light). These blades will dull over time anyway. The initial setup took about 3 attempts to trigger the water in the tank before self-cleaning could begin. Notes: I didn't get a chance to overflow the basket (12 tablespoons) or the pod (full) because I snapped them tight.
