Mr. Coffee - Compact 4-Cup Drip Coffee Maker

I’ve been using the Mr. Coffee-ish 4-cup maker that was in use by my mother and stepfather in their business while I was in college, decades ago. As it has only one moving part (the on/off switch), it will last forever.

I used to have this one. Replaced it with a 4 cup Mr coffee when it died. No problems in 10 years.

It's pretty easy to clean a 4-cup Mr. Coffee. You probably would need to replace it after 5 years but you'd be paying $4 per year.

Old school drip coffee makers are dead simple. I thrifted an old Mr. Coffee from the 80s, and it still works great.

I've used the same standard Mr coffee with a reusable filter for like 11 years. It does technically have a schedule function

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.

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.

Yup , Walmart Mr Coffee cheapo for 12+ years. Recently retired for newer model just due to age/options. Still only paid $40 for new

A coffeemaker is not a BIFL gadget. I use a $19.99 Mr coffee with just an on off switch. They last 4 years or so. That’s 5 bucks a year for a coffee maker. A mechanical outlet timer turns it on in the morning. Worth it.

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