this was worth every penny.

I love love love it and I can't live without it.

This is the 3rd coffee grinder I have gone through in the past year since I started grinding my own coffee beans. With the first 2 grinders the motors failed, both within a very short period of time. Up to this point My Mr Coffee grinder has worked very well. It is a lot quieter then the other two and it seems I get a better grind. It must be because this grinder offers 3 different settings for grinding. I get a more consistent grind with this grinder especially in the morning when I've forgotten tho grind my coffee beans he night before. Not real impressed with the Chamber maid cleaning system, although I get less waste, for me that is not a big issue. I think I have had this grinder for about 5 months without any break downs. I still need more time to say this product is absolutely superior over the other two,it certainly was less expensive of the three grinders. I also think that the white and black one should have been offered for the same price.

I have 2 different models of the Mr. Coffee Iced Tea Maker, with different style pitchers, and have problems with both styles of pitchers cracking, even though I don't put them thru the dishwasher. When my second pitcher cracked, I wrote to Mr. Coffee and they sent me 2 new ones for free! After those 2 cracked as well, I figured they would not send me new ones for free again, so I found a new way to brew my tea to be easier on the pitcher.

I don't put any ice in the pitcher at the beginning of the brew process. I like sweet tea, so I put my cup of sugar in the bottom of the pitcher, then the brewing process dumps hot tea in the pitcher, dissolving the sugar. When the brewing process is done, then I slowly add the ice to fill up to the top of the pitcher, then stir. No new cracks since I've been doing this (for over a year).

Also, if you have to live with a cracked pitcher, I have found if you put clear packing tape on the outside of the pitcher where it cracked, it does not leak as much, if at all, while brewing, then you can pour the brewed tea into another container for storage in the fridge if you are concerned it will leak.

If you saw what is collected on the top of these filters, you might stop drinking my well water. Great price for the wear and tear it saves on my coffee maker.

I bought this to replace a Krups espresso/coffee maker combo, and I should have listened to the other bad reviews. You get what you pay for. I have other Mr. Coffee products that I really like, but this is not one. Coffee is too slow to brew, tastes bad, and is awkward to set up in the first place. The components don't fit together well - I have to force the carafe into place. It's very cheap, and I wish I had forked over the dough and gotten a better machine.

Having purchased a Mr. Coffee 4-cup coffeemaker, I wasn't looking forward to buying packs of disposable filters. (My local grocery store doesn't even carry that small size!) I also don't like the waste of single-use filters. So, I was pleased to find this permanent filter. I've been using it for several months now, and my coffee always comes out just fine. The filter is easy to clean and, other than washing it after each use, there is no maintenance involved. Using this filter over time, you'll make up the cost of buying disposable ones, and you'll have that much less to toss in the garbage each time you brew a cuppa joe.

Mr. Coffee has always been a dependable brand for me and these filters are no different. They fit perfectly in my four cup brewer (yes, Mr. Coffee) and work as well as any filter I've used.

It works as advertised! Although to be honest, other than the fact that the mesh is metallic and stiffer, I can't really tell any difference in performance between this and the white one that is included in the FTX41 and FTX49.

Definitely better than a paper filter though.

This is the second replacement pot we had to buy for this pot. It is so expensive, and if you don't treat it right, it'll shatter. DO NOT leave the maker on with less than half an inch of coffee in the pot for any lenghth of time, as this will weaken the integrity of the pot. Saying that, this is the correct pot and I still would have bought it.

I have a new love in my life. It's "Mr. Coffee NLX5 4- Cup Coffeemaker". When I wake up in the morning,the aroma hits me immediately.He's already there,waiting with 4 cups(actually 2 mugs) of fresh brewed coffee for me. I can program him to any time I want that first pick-me-up, of the morning. And if I happen to wake up a little early and catch Mr. Coffee in the middle of brewing, and I have to have it right away, I am able to pour myself a cup and he'll stop brewing midstream, so none drips onto the warming plate. Ahhhhh! He then returns to the brewing process, so I can have seconds. No waiting!

Mr. Coffee has some other great features that attracted me immediately to him. The filter basket(use basket type for 4-cup) lifts out for neater emptying of used grounds. If I ignore him he'll shut himself off automatically.(it says an hour for auto shut-off here, but my guy goes for 2 hours before turning off). No worry about leaving the coffee to burn away and ruin my decanter.The timer used for presetting my pot of coffee, also makes a nice little kitchen clock. The power cord has a little storage compartment so it stays up and off the counter. I also notice one other nice little feature. If the decanter is not sitting exactly right, the coffee will not drip, again not allowing the warmer plate to get wet or ruined! I also always know whether Mr. Coffee is turned on(or off) as there is an indicator light too.

Mr. Coffee works great every time.My relationship with Mr. Coffee NLX5 has lasted nearly 3 years now. He never complains. He's easy. Easy to use, easy to love and has never let me down. Mr. Coffee is also attractive and comes with a great instruction booklet on the care and feeding. He's juuust right! Perfect for a single!
I love you Mr. Coffee!...Laurie
