About - Mr. Coffee BVMC-SJX33GT

The Mr. Coffee BVMC-SJX33GT is part of the coffeemaker test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, drip coffeemaker models like the BVMC-SJX33GT are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.


Brew performance:
The ability to reach 195° to 205° F for five or six minutes, the industry standard for optimal brewing.

Convenience:
Reflects ease of filling the reservoir, placing the filter, gauging the amount of coffee remaining, and cleaning up. It also reflects how clear we judged the controls.

Carafe handling:
Covers handle comfort, tendency to drip while pouring, balance of a full carafe, and how easy it was to empty the last liquid. Models with no score here brew into single-serve cups or are brew-and-dispense models. The latter hold the coffee in a tank; you fill your cup by pressing it against the dispenser lever.

Comment:
The machine is extremely LOUD and takes surprisingly long time to brew one pot of coffee.<br /><br />With the automatic two hour shut off, it is not a quick reheat if you drink coffee all day.There is no reheat button.<br /><br />The machine is large but you can not reach into it to clean it. The pot is larger and easy to clean.<br /> <br />The area where you pour in the water is nice and spacious so you do not have splasing or spilling water.<br /><br />The fill marker on the side is large enough to be easily seen.<br /><br />The clock is extremely difficult to see and almost impossible to read because it is not an LED clock.
