Mr. Coffee VBX23 12 cup coffeemaker

Mr. Coffee VBX23
12-Cup Coffee Maker, Black


I purchased this unit because it was pleasing to the eye. Upon opening it, I loved it! Now, I dread making Coffee in the morning. The decanter spills every time you attempt to pour water into the machine or pour your coffee. It is very unbearable to open the entire machine every morning to brew. Clean up is relatively easy because of the huge top opening.

The delay brew is very convenient, if you remember to set the unit up the night before. Brewing: Be sure if you want 6 cups of coffee you fill the machine up to 8 cups, for some reason evaporation is incredible in this unit, if you want to start a mini rainstorm in your Kitchen, this is the Coffee Maker to buy!

I am trying to find good things to say but it is hard, The coffee tastes Great! I contacted Mr. Coffee and told them about the spillage problem to no avail. They suggested that I pour slower. Well thanks! Maybe I should use a straw and drink straight from the Coffee Pot, no spills at all viola, Problem solved!

Seriously, If you want to keep your Kitchen Clean and avoid a lot of spills and headaches, put out an extra $50.00 dollars for a better unit, The price was right on this one, but I would love to get some of my time back cleaning up the impossible messes that this one causes. I know have a hankering for a cup of WaWa Spill Free straight from the store Coffee. Be Back Soon!

I have the same coffee maker and I had the same disappointment until I discovered that if you open the lid of the decanter a little when you are pouring, the water or coffee it won't spill.

My sister gave this coffee maker to me after my Braun died. I immediately noticed the HIGH temp. NOT GOOD, if your A.M. brew sits on that hot plate for awhile. I usually put coffee in a thermal carafe after brewing.

Overall a decent coffee maker. Easy to clean, easy to use. I'm not a morning person, so I really like the programmable brewing feature. I can set it when I'm actually awake and enjoy a fresh cup of coffee when I crawl out of bed. The two hour automatic shut off is a very nice feature for those of us who may not always think to check it on the way out. My only complaint: The heater is set high. So coffee can often burn after a fairly short time (45 minutes). Other machines I've owned kept a lower heating temp, but it kept the coffee from burning as badly.
