Mr. Coffee - 5-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker

I have a small (5 cup capacity, in reality 1.5 16 oz tumbler) Mr. Coffee with a timer. I set my coffee up at night and it starts brewing at the same time my feet hit the floor (or the dog and cat make sure I get up to feed them). It’s just enough to sip while I get ready and last me through my morning drive to wherever. I buy flavored coffee from a roaster and an 8 oz bag that lasts three to four weeks costs about the same as two medium Starbucks (vente? Grande?). Since I brew it at home, I’m also buying fewer breakfast pastries and sandwiches (now I toast my own bagels or throw together an egg and cheese sandwich). It really has made a difference.

I have a 5 cup all plastic Mr.Coffe I've used for 11 years without issue and it's still working like new. I finally said screw it and bought a Mochamaster just because I wanted one lol.

For 2026, stick with reliable drip machines like the Cuisinart PerfecTemp or Mr. Coffee programmable models. They're easy to clean, consistent, and cheap to maintain 👌

Nope. Pour over is a great way to make a single cup of coffee. I use a Chemex and a Kone. At the end of the day, it is just another way to expose ground up scorched coffee seeds to hot water. A lot of the machines have a minimum volume they can brew. M6 Bunn is 20 oz. For instance. But there are machines that have small batch settings (I believe the Precision does) and there are small machines like my son's Mr. Coffee 5-cup that will make a single cup. The only drawback to pour over is that you have to attend it for 3 minutes or so to do the pours where a machine is fire and forget. Keep in mind that you have to take this sub with a grain of salt. People here are really into the deep specifics and precision, which is fine, and often required with light roasts, but for the rest of us, just grab a V60, a Chemex or whatever dump your ground coffee in, fire up some hot water, do a bloom to soak the grounds, then maybe 3 more pours and coffee. Then, if you're me, dump in a bunch of sweetener and creamer. Excellent.

Commenting on Drip coffee makers are garbage....yup I also have a Mr Coffee, 5 cup, $10, the heating plate has partially broken but it makes coffee still and I’m hoping for at least another two years out of it. If the bottom plate survives two years I think it’ll survive forever.

The only thing to worry about the Mr coffee maker is that the hot plate gets way too hot after brewing and will burn your coffee. Turn it off the moment its done brewing and if it gets cold just microwave it

I have a 5 cup Mr. Coffee and it makes coffee just fine! I wanted to spend the least and i don’t regret it!

5 cup Mr coffee machine. Supercheap, Walmart akwasy has them and it's reliable, easy to maintain. It's small so it could go anywhere you want in your home. Anything else is rather large and consumes too much space in most apartment kitchens or pantries

this looks great. i might actually buy one. ive been useing a 5cup mr coffee for 15-18 years but this could be a nice upgrade

am I the only one with a 15 yr old $30 Mr Coffee ?? My parents have one thats now close to 30 yrs old.

it could the thing where it WAS made better, but now its garbage. its the 5 of 6 cup one i have and my parents have the 12??? idk its huge.
