Review on Mr Coffee® 10 Cup Space Saving Brewer by Rail Basri

Like so many other people All over the world I love my morning coffee. This coffee maker gives me the ability to brew a 10 cup (or less) stainless steel (SS) thermal vacuum flask with an unfiltered basket (I use paper filters). I can also make a 'To Go' mug or tall travel mug (my own) with a coffee pod or loose coffee. I love the options to choose what I want! Excellent! This manufacturer has many items that I hand wash before use (pic 1). The instructions recommend washing everything monthly, which will be a routine. Some of these parts could be dishwasher safe, but still I wish things were a little simpler. SS Carafe is well insulated. I brewed the pot this morning and the temperature of the coffee when brewed was 187 degrees, standard temperature. After drinking 2/3 of the pot over 90 minutes, the last pour was at 145 degrees (in the carafe, not in a cold cup). It was acceptable. The carafe pours without dripping, but a little slowly, ie the coffee nozzle is small. This machine does NOT have a heating plate to keep the coffee warm like traditional glass jug coffee makers do. I can remove the jug during brewing to pour myself a cup without coffee dripping. You can't do that with a travel mug. The brewing time for a full pot on high was about 7 minutes, almost as long as any coffee maker. The final burp and hiss was a little louder than my usual brewer, but let me know the pot is done. The guide includes an easy-to-understand quick start guide. Note that the brewer will automatically switch from the number of cups (4-6-8-10) to the number of ounces (6-8-10-12) depending on whether the pod holder is in the filter basket. I can't select "ounces" without the pod holder, so it comes to 12 ounces even without the pod. At least 4 cups must be collected for one cup. The "MIN" mark on the water tank is 10 oz as I measured it and is graduated in cups. Sounds more confusing than it really is. The water tank has the option to add a carbon water filter if I want with 1 included. I use Br*ta water so I haven't used it, and Seattle has great tap water. The transparent plastic container is removed for filling; easier to pour straight in. The lid is completely removable. It is best to slide the basket in when the jug is removed from the base. Otherwise difficult. I liked that I could use the K-cup pod or loose coffee in the included fine-mesh "filtered pod” OR my own refillable SS pod. Two additional coffee capsule holders are shown in Figure 5. Please note that the SS holder with S*mpliCup paper filter is NOT included, it's mine. Photo 6 shows a standard pre-packaged K-cup style coffee pod. Picture 7 with my large boy mug in use - plenty of room for it, 8 inches high and 2.75 inch base diameter. Excellent! I recommend this capsule Mr. Coffee Brand Pod + 10 Cup Brewer. It has many useful features. and makes good coffee. I hope you found the information and my review helpful.
