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:

Looks great but it takes at least 15 mins. to brew and does not stay hot long enough. Plastic smell still there even after cleaning twice with vinegar. Very disappointed in this machine because it was purchased on CR's Best Buy recommendation, sorry to say. I use one of the best fresh ground coffees and it does not taste the same as it did with my other machine.

How long have you owned it:

A month or less

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

I actually love this coffee maker. We brew at least two pots a day and it can be set to brew good, strong coffee. The problem is that it has begun leaking from the FEET! I can tighten them sometimes but this is starting not to work all the time. And they are not accessible from the inside. Very disappointed!

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Comment:

This is a fine coffeemaker and deserving of CR's high rating except in one regard. The spring on the brew basket allowing the carafe to be taken out while brewing has failed and Mr. Coffee doesn't provide a replacement basket for this model. The hole and spring are offset rather than centered as with many other models. Replacement baskets are available for other models but apparently not this one.

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
