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

Man I love this coffee maker. It's not just better than a regular coffee maker, it's fundamentally better. 1: Thermography keeps the coffee warm for about an hour and a half without a burner. My wife and I wake up at different times and this is a game changer for us. We both drink hot coffee that tastes the same. In the last two hours it starts to cool down and get slightly warm. 2: This coffee maker brews hot. This is good because it brings out the best flavors in the beans wherever possible. A big old red Folgers can tastes better out of this machine than the finest grains out of my last Mr. Coffee. There's a lot of steam coming out the back though. While my previous coffee maker was under a cabinet, I had to find a new home for this one so the paint wouldn't drip right off the walls. 3: There is a separate water tank. That means you don't spill a bit of your last batch through the machine every time you brew. That's good.4: God, that thing looks cool. Beautifully symmetrical polished stainless steel against jet black elements. The buttons glow bright white when pressed, and the coffee maker now has a sensual pulse when pressed. If you have the right kitchen for it, this is a serious aesthetic addition. That's what I don't like. Minor issue: the basket is designed not to lay flat when you pull it out, so you'll have to balance it while you pour in the new soil. I felt slightly uncomfortable. Large Beef: When the brewing process is complete, that frighteningly loud beep will shut off. It's like a smoke detector. Or maybe a city nuclear alert. It's awful and annoying. AND YOU CANNOT TURN IT OFF. If you're simmering a pot for a family member who you think won't get up when the pot is done cooking, think again. You will wake up scared that the house will burn down or that the world will end. It is so loud. It's so bad, in fact, that if you scour the internet you'll find manuals on how to disassemble the machine down to its circuitry and pull the damn horn out of there. In any case, the coffee is great.
