Mr. Coffee 10-Cup Optimal Brew Thermal Coffee Maker with Delay Brew and Auto Shut-Off, BVMC-PSTX95

Doug: I purchased this coffee maker a couple of weeks ago to replace our previous one that started to leak onto our countertop. This unit seems to be well made and well designed. It makes a pot of coffee in a much shorter period of time than our previous unit and keeps the coffee hotter in the pot. The only drawback we have found is it is a little slow when your pour coffee from the pot as it has only a small opening to let the coffee out. Overall, I would give it an "A" rating.

EPS & SMAS: Update 9/2023: we are still quite happy with this coffeemaker. It brews excellent coffee (altho that may have as much to do with our careful calculations as to the grounds/water ratio). The delay feature is wonderful. It keeps the coffee quite warm in the carafe for about 60-90 minutes and then it’s still warm for a while but might need a microwave visit.

We bought this coffeemaker in late April/early May 2020, replacing an older model Mr Coffee (with thermal carafe) that was leaking out the bottom after several years of daily use. We read through the reviews here and elsewhere and decided that this machine was still our best bet. And so far, it's been great, but we did make one change: we removed the water filter that hangs over the coffee grounds during brewing. With it in place, the coffee tastes TERRIBLE (and was not very strong - I think the filter really impacts how the water hits the grounds). Since then - morning after morning of lovely, strong, hot coffee, timed to brew about 15 minutes before we wake. Stays warm and fresh-tasting for 2 hours and then the machine beeps and turns off. That's all we wanted and so far this machine delivers. We will update this...

Vladimir: Excelente producto. Es muy rápida y el uso de la jarra térmica es excelente. Se nota mucho la diferencia de una jarra de este tipo a las otras que están calentando (quemando) el café todo el tiempo.

En mi opinión la jarra es lo mejor que tiene esta cafetera.

JorchJorch: Una excelente cafetera de uso diario con desempeño excepcional, observa la primer foto: es la cafetera que tuve 7 años !! La segunda foto es la NUEVA cafetera que adquirí con la certeza que durará al menos por 7 años a partir de hoy. La jarra de acero conserva la temperatura y por lo tanto el sabor y el aroma durante 2 horas.

Kury: Es una MUY buena cafetera... fácil de usar. El único problema que encuentro es que (como muchas cafeteras nuevas) se tiene que estar gastando en filtros especiales de la cafetera... en el caso de esta tiene dos filtros propios de la cafetera, uno se debe cambiar cada mes y el otro sí dura poco más pero de cualquier forma hay que estar comprando esos filtros...
También me gustaría que fuese de mayor capacidad...
En los pros puedo decir que es SUPER fácil de usar, es rápida, el café es bueno y la jarra térmica en donde se guarda el café es MUY buena... a veces hacemos café por la mañana (7:00am) y a medio día que salimos a comer el café sigue calientito … son como 5-6 hrs!!!

Lolita Lira: El pedido llegó antes de la fecha prevista. La cafetera es excelente , hace el café muy rápido y es fácil de manejar. El único problema es que al principio el café sabe un poco raro por el olor del plástico, pero después de un corto tiempo ya no se presenta el olor del plástico y el café tiene un sabor delicioso

Martin KollmanMartin Kollman: I read a lot of good and bad about this coffee pot and after a week of trying it, I have landed on the good...... for the time being. It makes a full pot of "HOT" coffee in 7 minutes and has been very consistent in the quality and my office mates have deemed it a winner. I do like the water container for filling, but they should have put a handle on it or something to make it easier to get out of the machine. The designers should have also put the lid for the water container on a hinge, as you just pop it off and have to lay it somewhere. (Minor)

The carafe is super sturdy and keeps the coffee hot for at least two hours and then it drops significantly after that, but I feel if you are trying to drink 3-4 hr old coffee, any household coffee pot would be cooling down by then. I do like the "sealed" design of the carafe and it keep air from affecting the flavor, plus makes it easy to transport around the office.

My real hang up is the coffee grounds basket design. It isn't with the water filter, as giving it a little rinse prior to installing got all the loose charcoal powder and allowed the water to flow freely into the basket area, so that has been a non-issue. The...

Spencer NarwhalSpencer Narwhal: >>> SUMMARY <<<
I am sometimes a picky, critical person. I research products carefully before I purchase. I love this coffee machine/pot, and would certainly recommend it to my friends or family. It reliably and easily makes good coffee, and it does it for a decent price. I will probably buy this pot or a very similar pot to replace it some day. Coming from me, that’s a pretty strong endorsement.

I have thoroughly reviewed many aspects of the machine below.

>>> MACHINE DESCRIPTION <<<
This Mr. Coffee is a reasonably good looking coffee machine, combining stainless steel with black and clear plastic. The machine (with carafe in its nesting place) is about 14.5” high X 9.5” wide X 11” deep. The space required to use it [without moving it] is larger though, because of the carafe, reservoir, and filter/grounds basket. The carafe handle sticks out about 2” beyond the base (making the full depth from back of machine to front of carafe handle about 13”); to remove the water reservoir and the coffee basket, one needs about 8” of extra space — I have an 18” wide space on my counter between the paper tower dispenser...
