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.

Coffee Doesn't Stay Hot
Best Uses
Comment:
We bought this product because it was rated a CR Best Buy. The only problem is that it does not brew or keep the coffee hot! We actually had to use our microwave to get the coffee hot.<br /><br />I wrote to Mr. Coffee about the issue. Their response was to bring it back to where we purchased it as soon as possible and select a preferred replacement or exchange. I took their advice. I returned it and purchased a different brand! We now do not have to microwave our coffee!<br /><br />I would also like to suggest to CR that one of their test criteria should be how hot the coffee stays once it is brewed. <br /><br />I would not recommend this product to a friend.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
