Mr. Coffee TF4
4-Cup Switch Coffeemaker

I bought this coffeemaker from Walgreens for 12.99 on sale. I bought it in August 2008, and I have used it every since then. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, as I don't drink a lot of coffee, the 4 cup carafe is just perfect for me. One thing I wish it did have, as I don't think it does, is a automatic shutoff that other coffeemakers have.

I know though that this would probably bring the price up, so I have learned to deal with that aspect. The maker is very easy to set up for brewing, and it does also have a pause and serve feature, although this device makes it a little harder to put the carafe in right. I would actually not have it, as it does not take 4-5 minutes to brew anyway, and its just something else that can go bad on it.

The basket is easy to put in the coffee, and a visible water level vial lets you know exactly how much to put in. I also like the fact the carafe is small, making it very easy to clean in the sink. I had a larger, programmable Mr. Coffee, but I broke the carafe twice, so this one is a lot easier to clean.

As far as the best maker I have ever had, I would have to say this one, for it covers all I need in a maker, from being easy to clean, to making just the amount I need.

The other one I had in which I broke the carafes, it was not very easy to find a replacement, as there are a lot of different types, and I wanted to get the right one because that one was a Christmas gift, and it also had a pause and serve, although I ended up breaking it off because I woke up one morning and apparently I had not put the carafe in right, and coffee was all over the counter.
