About - Mr. Coffee JWX27
The Mr. Coffee JWX27 is part of the coffeemaker test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, drip coffeemaker models like the JWX27 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:

I really like this coffee brewer. The price was [$] and I'm thinking of buying a second one to take on vacations. Easy to use and has two brew settings, plus a timer. The only down side that I have found is that when you pull out the carafe while it's still brewing it tends to leak a few drops onto the hot plate. That may be my own fault as I have found that if I pull the carafe out slow enough, it doesn't drip.

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
