Review on Enhance Your Morning Routine with the Mr. Coffee 12-Cup Stainless Steel Programmable Coffee Maker by Megan Ramirez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Looks good, intuitive controls/programming

Looks good, intuitive controls/programming, but hard to get a cup of coffee. This coffee maker has a "strong" setting that slows the flow of hot water to increase brewing time. Here's the thing, the water spout is just a single spout; Because of this, not all coffee is brewed. I use good quality whole bean coffee and grind it just before brewing, and I use a large amount of coffee. Despite this, the coffee machine struggles to make rich coffee. It comes with a water filter to distribute the water evenly, but after a few uses it clogs up a bit and the water seeps through the edge seam instead of flowing through the filter membrane, leading to, for lack of a better term. , point supply of water for grinding. This results in a weaker coffee because not all of the grounds are soaked. I had a previous generation Mr. Coffee Maker and the spout was a wide fan (like a shower head) and it made the best cup of coffee. Short and long is fine. It would be better if the hot water was spread over the grist or the flow out of the basket was slowed down to increase steeping time.
