A disappointment from the start

Comment:
The 1-4 cup slow-brewing feature has never worked. Since I''m the only one who drinks coffee at our house, this is fairly important. I kept it anyway, as it's a pain to return & look for another coffeemaker. Now I find that the white number markings on the carafe are disappearing with each wash in the dishwasher. Am using the top rack, as recommended in the manual. At this rate, they will soon be gone & I'll have to guess at the right amount of water to put in. Am planning to return this & start looking for another one. Not a Black & Decker.

Comment:
Initially a good performer under a typical usage of 3 pots per day. Delay brew feature quit at the 6 month mark. Basic coffee maker function remained operable until it totally died at the 16 month mark. Two previous purchases of Mr Coffee products had very similar results. Due to this, I could not recommend any Mr Coffee coffeemaker product at this time.
How long have you owned it:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
No more Mr. Coffee's for me

Comment:
I have always owned Mr. Coffee coffee makers--I iwill never buy another one after this model. The carafes always flooded over from the spout, making a mess when you were trying to fill the reservoir or a coffee mug. This B&D carafe has a much cleaner spout, and we have never experienced this problem. The only thing that bothers us is the beep that it makes when it's done brewing.
