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!
