Mr. Coffee - CM10

It makes really weak coffee. I had one for 5 years and switched to the OXO (suggested right below this). I was shocked at the quality difference.

It might be slightly better, but the thing that’ll make the highest difference is the quality of your beans and grinder. I wager I could get a good cup out of a $15 Mr. coffee with my setup.

American who visited family in Poland: why do y'all use that instant coffee stuff where you add a spoonful to a cup of hot water? It's like the worst way of having a coffee. At minimum do yourself a favor and get a Mr.Coffee or a French Press.

Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip... All Bloodhound Gang jokes aside, I got one before that song came out. I had a great cup out of it just now. The carafe broke back in the early 2000s due to my own gross negligence, and I got a replacement for the cost of shipping from them. After WW3 there's going to be cockroaches, twinkies, and these mr coffee tanks

Depends on your budget, really. I gave a multi-function Ninja one to the weddings I was invited to one year, every one of them got lots of thanks. I also have a Mr. Coffee plain-ass drip machine that cost $12 and has lasted longer than one of my used cars.

Pour over or French press. If you want an electric drip machine, Mr. Coffee is no frill and lasts for eons. A moka pot is the answer for stronger espresso drinks.

My grandfathers Mr. Coffee which was purchased in the early 70s was still brewing until he passed away in 2021. It now lives with my uncle and is continuing to brew coffee. It is older than every grandchild that my grandfather had. They only had to replace the pot because a cat knocked it down and it shattered in the kitchen when it was drying in the late 80s (I remember it happening because it was my cat). It was a CM-10 I think. That thing has made tens of thousands of cycles of coffee. Napkin math is that I remember my grandmother and grandfather brewing 2-4 pots a day (sometimes more if guests were over), and being that it was purchased new in what had to be 1973 I will say 3 pots on average per day. I will then go ahead and say 50 years from 73 to 23, just because I know it's been used a little less now with my uncle. This CM-10 must have brewed at least 52-55,000 pots of coffee. And it still works.

Okay maybe it wasn't a CM-10. It was whatever the one Joe DiMaggio was on, because my grandma kept the box and when I was little I thought DiMaggio was a coffee guy, but later learned about his baseball career lmao. My grandpa teased me a long time about that because I guess he thought it was funny the way I called him "Joe Coffee" and couldn't say "DiMaggio" right.

They're a bit pricier now, but I figure any Mr. Coffee made in the 70s-80s would last. They have some New Old Stock on ebay.

samesies! i love my Mr Coffee drip brewer

So will my $40 Mr. Coffee I've been using for over 15 years.

Keurig devices are prone to gunky buildup in the water holder, so I consider them a health hazard. They are not great for a low maintenance situation like (anyone's) Abnb. Give me a basic Mr. Coffee any day: easy to use and eat to clean, even for the laziest of guests.
