Excellent value!

I've been using this Mr. Coffee machine (model ISX43) for a couple of weeks and am very happy with it. The controls are very accessible and easy to use. The coffee is hot enough immediately after brewing and the machine is easy to cleanup. It comes with a water filter which I guess could be useful if your water has particulate matter in it, but for me it's unnecessary. The machine is fairly tall and the top is hinged at the back and flips up, so you need a quite a lot of room above to open it. Also, the opening in the top to pour in the water is fairly small - I have to use the carafe and pour carefully to avoid spilling. The controls include a clock and timer for delayed brewing, a regular and strong brew setting (I can't really tell the difference) and a cleaning cycle which I haven't tried yet. The clock is so bright you could use it for a night light. There's also a temperature control for the hot plate (which turns off automatically after two hours). Last, I'm a fan of chrome and black appliances and find this unit quite stylish.Edit: I've had this machine for almost four years now and I'm surprised at the many negative reviews. It seems there are quality control issues as I've not had any problems with the machine. I've needed to replace the carafe a couple of times - the lip & handle are glued to the top of the glass which deteriorates over time and starts to leak, but that's all. I have to wonder how often the overflow problems are caused by the carafe not being positioned properly? This model has the feature where you can remove the carafe before the pot has finished brewing to pour a cup - replacing the carafe properly allows the basket to resume dripping, but if it isn't positioned correctly the basket will overflow. The coffee has always been hot enough and I have the hotplate thermostat at the lowest setting. Someone said this pot doesn't brew 2-4 cups properly and that also hasn't been my experience. When I brew 2 cups I do use a little more coffee and I switch the brew setting to "strong" - the result is fine.

Good at first, but didn't last

I agree with the two above reviews as far as they go, but I've had mine for a year now, and it now makes the weakest coffee on earth. At first, running it through the cleaning cycle solved the problem, but now nothing helps. I use twice the amount of coffee I used to use to get the same result. That's an expensive cup of coffee!!! I also run it through the cleaning cycle once a week (I only make coffee once a day, so that's excessive.) Not to mention the hassle of having to clean it so often. It takes an hour to run through the clean cycle, and then you have to make a full pot of hot water twice to clean the vinegar/cleaning solution out of the coffee maker. I just cleaned it yet again, made coffee, and it tastes like muddy water.

I've had and used this coffeemaker daily for about 4 years. I also received a stainless steel carafe version of it, but that's another story... I gave that one away. Anyway, this one has the glass carafe. All in all, it's been pretty good, but as it ages, there are several issues developing.Pros:- Makes a pretty good cup of coffee- Is programmable, and fairly convenient to do so- Has an adjustable warming plate settingCons:- Not easy to tell if basket is properly seated, resulting in overflow and MESS- Mine has controls with very small black lettering on red background; VERY hard to read- Does not always pour well
