Something people who don't drink a lot of coffee won't realize is that when you do the sneak a cup thing is that the second cup will be much weaker and sometimes watery.

For the heating plate, I would argue that a higher temperature is worse as it will “burn” the coffee more and you don’t need coffee to be that hot. You won’t be able to drink it until it has cooled to less than about 145F anyway, so I’d say the 12-cup Mr Coffee won the heating plate test.

I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.

With my Black and Decker model. Its very easy to set the clock and timer. Even though its very slow at brewing. It has a timer I can set the night before. So when I get up it will be hot and ready. Its held up nicely and has performed well over the years.

I've had the Cuisinart one for many years and I love it. I love this machine, and think it makes the best coffee when compared to previous brands I had tried. The 1-4 cup brewing option is good when you don't want to make a full pot because it adjusts the brew strength so you are getting just as good a cup as when you brew a full pot. I also like the variable shut off. The bells and whistles on this model are actually things I use, unlike most appliances, where I usually don't go for the extras. You are right about it maybe being a little more difficult to fill, like many coffee makers. The solution I have found is that I have those OXO Good Grip measuring cups that are silicone. I fill the large one with water, then you can kind of squeeze them when pouring, to make the spout as small as you need it to fill almost anything without spilling. I have never spilled when filling my coffeemaker this way. Plus I can pre-measure the water, that way when I fill, so I don't need to see how much I am filling.

I've owned several versions of the Mr Coffee, including both of the ones you reviewed and the programmable 12cup model. The 12 cup ones make a better cup than the smaller 5 cup every time. However, the size and price make it a huge value model for a secondary machine at the office etc.

I've had my B&D CM2036S thermal coffee maker for 10 years and it's still going strong! Love the fact it uses a thermal decanter to keep the coffee hot for up to 7 hours without the use of a hotplate, which always burns coffee the longer it sits on the burner.

I've been using my Cuisinart 12-cup coffee maker that has a built-in bean grinder, for over 4 years now and I still love it. I can just load the machine with beans the night before, set the timer and by the time I'm heading into the shower the next morning, the grinder kicks on & starts brewing. Exit the shower & I get fresh ground brewed coffee ready to go. I also like that the lid of the carafe comes off entirely so it's actually easier to clean the pot properly though some people may feel otherwise. Taste-wise, I find setting the brew strength to High and using a really dark, black blend of roasted beans that comes from Indonesia or Singapore, gives me the kind of caramel, buttery taste that I really enjoy. Plus it gives me a buzz that lasts me through the entire morning, second only to an espresso. If I drank an entire 12-cup pot of it, I'd probably be able to fly to work.

A "pro" in the Cuisinart column I can add is that the one I have was passed down to me from my mother who passed-away in 2009, so it's been in full swing for 13 years under my ownership, and still going strongly.

i had one of those small mr coffee machines, not the same model, but an older one and i was really happy with it. it was a good size for me since i live alone

I have a similar Cuisinart model to the one you reviewed - interestingly, mine has a very readable clock - and the one plus that it has over the others is that you can set the auto-shutoff up to 4 hours. (and, of course, it can be set to auto-start in the morning, etc) - yup, it was expensive, but it's solidly built and looks very nice on the counter.

I had the Cuisinart for something like 8 years before it started leaking somewhere inside and had to replace it with a similar model. I'm a fan of its features and the adjustable temp. I've used a mr coffee basic model while staying at an airbnb which gets the job done but I still like my cuisinart

I loved the sounds of the coffee makers the most! Thank you for this review! I have a Breville but it doesn't get hot enough.

Like your variety of coffee cups - I know people here in New Orleans that fill the grounds to the top. That coffee snarls as it 's poured. Good video. P.S. - my aunt Mona Rouen would put aluminum foil over the spout of her percolator after brewing so the air wouldn't get to the coffee and oxidize.

I am not a coffee drinker, but I have one for my family when they come to visit. About 10 years ago, I bought a Cuisinart coffee maker combo with a hot water dispenser. I only use the hot water dispenser. It's still working just fine and I replace the charcoal filters on a regular basis. I feel like some day this machine will fail and then I will want to get something like again, but I haven't seen anything like it on the market. Has anyone seen a hot water dispenser/coffee maker? I know I could just heat up water on the stove, this dispenser is so much handier and it's so fast. Thank you James for another video!!!

Always such a professional and so detailed!!! One of many reasons why I love this channel

i have the cheap mr. coffee, got it over ten years ago and it did come with a reusable basket, the thing about the reusable basket is i feel is a con cause you have to wash it out....which is probably why i still have it after all these years.....i use paper filters cause im to lazy to clean it and if your making the coffee before you go to work it sits there all day

Very very few very expensive drip machines approach proper brewing temp. If I want a hot properly brewed cup of coffee I use a French press. Even for my daily though drip is to cool for me so I use a percolator.

Just a note to anyone using drip coffee makers.. never use the heating plate or let the coffee sit on an active heating plate when its done - coffee burns - those plates DO burn the coffee, making your coffee vastly inferior. Do yourself a favor and either turn off the plate / machine when the coffee is done or remove the caraf from it. If you need to reheat the coffee later, use a microwave, it is much harder to burn coffee that way and will taste a LOT better.

I've had three coffee machines in the last two years. I bought a Hamilton Beach Flex Brew...slowest machine ever! Then got a Keurig...downfall with that one is the filter clogs and you have to buy new ones every couple months and the one cup at a time is a deal breaker.

The one major flaw with all these pots is that the grounds basket is NOT separate from the water reservoir. Which means there will be splashback of coffee and grounds into the water reservoir. Which gunks it up and over time makes your coffee taste nasty. They are really hard to clean as well cause the water reservoirs are very narrow. Always get a pot that separates the grounds basket from the water reservoir.

I switched to an AeroPress and a kettle two years ago, and I have never looked back. I also got a very nice burr grinder, a hand crank one, and between that and the AeroPress, I have made the best coffee I have ever made.

A timer and heating plate are features I used all the time. So I would set the timer and fill the machine the night before so I had hot coffee waiting for me in the morning. My partner loves coffee so if she was living with me I'd have to buy a coffee machine!

I like that the Cuisinart has a temperature setting. Maybe if they had that on the single serve version I wouldn't have switched it for a Keurig. I need it to stay hot after I add the creamer or it feels like I left it sitting too long.

I personally would go with the Cuisinart. If it truly has an adjustable auto off at 30 min, I would definitely pick it. I don't like my pot to be on any more than 30 min after the brew. I don't need a coffee maker yet, but will soon, and will definitely look at the Cuisinart along with similar options. Thanks for your review. I love this channel.

It may be more money but they last so in time you are saving a ton.

I'm quite happy with my Mr. Coffee programmable which was also about $30.00 USD. I don't find the cooler holding temperature of the Mr. Coffee to be a con.

Hey hit me me up 👆 I have something for you 👆 👆 👆

You're now the second KZreadr I'm subscribed to who has done a coffee related video today, a day where I happened to drink some coffee as well (I only drink it every few months, for just one or two days, though) 😂

We do have a Mr Coffee for brewing 8-10 cups of coffee. Used daily when I worked/commuted. Now, mostly use the Keurig. I make my lattes and such using Gevalias 2step frothing method. DH gets various coffee pods. Currently has a Guy Fiero container of mixed pods that he’s been using. No coffee after 10AM. Depending on weather and mood or f I’m sick, I’ll opt for no caffeine drinks, or decaf blends that I’ve heard has caffeine but in much lower dose. Some faves: Twinings English or other herbal tea mix and I also like the Alpine hot apple cider. Quick and easy peasy to make.

For many years I used simple Melitta manul system. Boil water on the stove, pour it over the grounds in a filter in the cone, wait until it finishes dripping, and you've got tastier coffee than any of these machines. Costs less, too. If the coffee in the carafe cools down ... that's why you have a microwave. During the pandemic I got interested in high end coffee - burr grinders, specialty beans, scales, the whole shebang. But ... I still use the same Melitta cone! It can do anything from pre-ground supermarket coffee to $$$$ beans and crazy technique.

Same, I went down the Weird Coffee Person rabbit hole and while I drink a lot more espresso now, when I do pourover it's still with my $1.50 Melitta knockoff I got at Daiso. Of course now it's with a grinder which cost hundreds of times as much.

Usually I'm amused at the products you review, which usually aren't for me (except the awesome dog videos!). This however is up my alley! Another solid review. Could you do some tea makers as well?

Yes I would like a tea review also.

Glad you made this cuz I need a new coffee pot the one I have was a original Amazon's choice but didn't see it on your list as you was on the site

Just some recommendations. Could you do a cooling blanket and foot rests made for use with desk/ desk chair

I have a Ninja coffee bar. I absolutely love it! It came with a reusable filter, but it is a mess to clean out. I use paper filters instead.

I absolutely detest coffee (tea is where it’s at), but I still watched this whole video just because it’s so entertaining to watch your reviews. Love your channel! Btw.. You never explained the new apartment. Is it in Vegas too?

I love coffee and the best maker is the Ninja! Hands down, the flavor of the coffee is superb! The model I have does both hot and cold brews plus brews different types of teas. Teas brew at different temperatures and the ninja adjusts to each type.

Would have liked to be a guest tester on this caffeine fueled adventure. Thanks for the great information!

I've got a Walmart mainstays brand. 5 cup almost identical to the 20 dollar Mr coffee. But it was only 10 bucks. No auto shut off. Reg. Filters. You can pour a cup while it's still brewing. Works great. Also have the 20 dollar mainstays k cup and it works great as well.

Also use the $10 Walmart machine and it does just great for my needs. Simple, fast, cheap, and the coffee it makes is good as far as I am concerned. It also makes just the right amount of coffee for me. I do not need to brew 8 or 12 cups and end up throwing most of it down the drain because it never got used. Four or five cups is perfect. If I don't end up drinking all of it, not a huge loss.

Woohoo,I think this is the first time I have a product that got reviewed. I have the Mr. Coffee 12 cup. The lid on mine works perfectly fine, not sure what that was all about. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I will occasionally make some. It's fine. I use it more for making tea, hot cocoa, cold/sinus relief drinks, and oatmeal. For those, it works fantastically. Cleaning is easy, too. I brew like half a pot of apple cider vinegar and then two full pots of cold water. Good as new. Negatives:. If you are very aggressive with removing and jamming back in the pot, you can bend or even knock off the plunger. There is always atleast 2 drips when removing the pot before finished.

We had the cusinart for a good 6-9 years now. My dad had it for years before he passed away in 2017 and my brother has had it since. It's always worked really well. I have the Mrs Tea since I hate coffee and love tea. I wish they'd bring that machine back. I love mine to bits and will be super upset if/when it dies.

Ive got an older version of that 5button programmable Black and Decker model. Its drip coffee, and programmable, on the cheap, and its hard to beat for the price.

Using the same coffee with the same filters it tastes the same whether it's in a 10.00 Walmart brand or a 70.00 name brand. I don't need a programmed auto drip with a clock

I'll never buy a coffee pot that doesn't have a programmable timer ever again. The smell of coffee brewing is the best alarm clock ever!

Pretty cool tests. I really wish you had thrown in a vintage Mr Coffee in there too for fun and to see if old is better than new!

We had the Cuisinart one. It lasted about 6 months. I ran a clean cycle and it didn’t survive the process. I ended up running to Walmart for cheap Mr Coffee. It lasted about a year and a half. We now have the Keurig Duo. Absolutely love it. Will never Buy another Mr Coffee or Cuisinart again.

My all time coffee maker is the B & D Thermal pot. If something went wrong with it there was an outlet very close to me and would replace an item for free. Best ever IMO!! Thanks for the reviews and your time. Anyone that is on YT knows about the scams. ☺☺

The Cuisinart has several other adjustments, like temp control of the water and how fast the water is sent through the grounds. These are fairly hidden, even secret, button combinations.

I actually own that Tekeya cold brew pitcher that you skipped. It's actually pretty decent but I prefer to just brew coffee with boiling water and allow it to steep in my French press then chill it the next day

You should try the Breville thermal carafe coffee maker. Has several settings to select from, brews fast, and the carafe keeps the coffee hot most of the day. I despise glass carafes with hot plates which start burning the coffee very quickly. If you're not a fast drinker, having a thermal carafe that really holds the temperature is a big deal.

I use a French press for my coffee addiction. So simple.

Perfect timing for this one; I am in the market for one but would like to possibly experiment beyond Mr. Coffee.

Love my BUNN. Simple and when it does break, parts are available to fix.

I just had to replace my Mr. Coffee after my parents had it for almost 20 years- it broke when in transit while moving (didn’t tape it shut or pack the glass part right 😅). Happily got another off of Amazon. I always start it and take the doggo for a walk- always nice to come back to a fresh cup to start the day. Nothing fancy, just coffee hahaha

My husband and I couldn't help noticing the number of scoops of coffee you used. No matter the coffee maker, we have never used that much coffee. You must like some serious strong brew! Whew!

My old Rival Maker (12 cups) has a pretty good heating plate for being old. It keeps a good temperature in the pot and if I leave it off for the night with coffee in the pot and turn it on in the morning, it doesn't really take too long to reheat the coffee, considering it is old. Even if the pot is at the 11 cups over night, it's not too bad of reheating time. If I were someone having a time limit (in a real hurry) for reheating the coffee on it, it wouldn't be a great amount of time for the reheat. But I don't have to worry about going somewhere so soon after waking up, etc, so for me the reheat time is alright on mine.

As far as temp goes, I'd rather be able to down my first morning coffee as opposed to having to wait a longer time for it to cool to a suitable temperature. Just my opinion though. To each their own.

I so love all your reviews, I’ve bought some of the items you review… thanks

I love ow much personality your coffee cups have ! 🥰

Can you do a review on the embermug 2? I am curious if it has changed enough to get over some of the cons you mentioned. Also it comes in a slightly bigger cup option.

After my last Keurig died, I went back to drip. I have the B&D and it's a great little machine. Even has a "strong" brew setting. Being programmable and waking up to a pot of coffee is really the best tho.

I've had that Cuisinart for years and years and years. It's built to last. Auto-shut off is great to avoid burnt coffee.

I used all three of the large, the Cuisinart stopped working just over a year. The others lasted much longer. We make several pots of coffee a day and thought more expensive meant it could stand up to our constant use. We loved it until it no longer worked. Replaced it with a BD, she's been going strong for almost 3 yrs.

Bunn is best.

I just bought the $10 Mainstay one from Walmart. Works pretty good for a little 5 cup pot. I've had a keurig but refilling the little cup got old and the pods are too expensive.

DLX1050B is my coffee maker and I absolutely love it. It works, makes good coffee quickly, and the timer is invaluable. One day I'll have a coffee maker that connects directly to my water line so I never have to fill the water again, but until then, this coffee maker is cheap and amazing.

This was a very informative review. If you just want a cup of coffee the 5 cup Mr. Coffee will do the job. I would buy the Cuisinart because it has more features and if I spread the cost over 10 years it is not expensive. Also the higher wattage will get closer to the optimum heat required to brew coffee. According to the National Coffee Association that temperature is between 195 to 205 degrees fahrenheit. Thanks for another presentation that quickly got to the point and a nice summary.

My choice is the Black and Decker Brew and go. Makes two cups in a travel mug. Brewed coffee àt 190 degrees F. I had two of them

Great timing. I'm looking for a coffee maker! Thanks

Review the Breville Barista Touch espresso machine!!! We bought one and it is delicious cappuccino everyday... and no, we aren't being paid to say that!

Another pros for the Cuisinart is that is has a long life. We have the same model which we purchased 7 years ago and have had no issues at all with it.
