Product Description
Brew a Delicious Cup of Coffee
Good taste is no longer optional, it’s required. The new Optimal Brew thermal coffeemaker from Mr. Coffee will brew faster and hotter than your average coffeemaker. These two elements combine to provide the fullest, richest flavor extraction and making a better cup of coffee.
Sleek and Easy to Use
The stainless steel vacuum insulated carafe will help keep coffee hot for hours on your counter top or at your table. A removable water reservoir will allow you to fill the water in your coffeemaker without cooling down the coffee carafe or having to move your coffeemaker from under the counter.
No More Cold Coffee
The Mr. Coffee Optimal Brew Coffeemaker was manufactured to solve the most common complaint from thermal coffeemaker users, that being cold coffee. Step one was to use a heater that could brew the coffee hotter than what is traditionally used in coffeemakers. Step two was adding a removable water reservoir. This was designed to avoid having people using the carafe to fill the water tank which caused the carafe to cool down. Step three was to deliver the coffee to the carafe with minimal air contact time.
Better Tasting Coffee
Two key elements are needed to extract a better cup of coffee: hotter temperature and faster brew time. The Optimal Brew coffeemaker brews 10 cups in less than 8 minutes - faster than competitive coffeemakers tested. This allows for optimal extraction of flavor from the coffee grounds during the brew process. The flavor extraction of the coffee grounds is amplified by the fact that the water is hotter than other coffeemakers. After using this coffeemaker your taste buds will thank you.
New Features
The Optimal Brew Coffeemaker delivers some innovative features aimed at making your life easier. These features were implemented into the design to make the coffeemaker function better and easier.
Removable water reservoir: Bring the water reservoir directly to the sink for filling up and avoid having to pour into the top of your coffeemaker. Don’t cool down your carafe with cold water because that will only lead to cold coffee.
Side loading filter basket: Removing the coffee filter drawer from the side will give you access to the coffeemaker without having to slide it out from under your cabinets. It also compliments the design by eliminating the need for a lid on your coffeemaker.
Higher power heater: The best way to brew coffee faster and hotter. The heater is not required to be under the coffeemaker which allows for a nice carafe platform instead of the bulky bottom you accustomed to.
Internet Posted Reviews...
#1...Ok so i read all the negative and positive reviews trying to figure out what was the deal with this coffee maker. Here is the thing i have found, people who really hate this coffee maker just don't understand what it is or how to use it right. This is a fine buy, perhaps the only buy if you want a Thermal Coffee maker that really works.
ok so first we need to understand this is a THERMAL coffee maker. Why does that matter? 1) You won't burn down you house because you forgot to turn it off. 2) you will never have burnt thick muddy coffee. 3) it saves a ton of money on energy. 4) you can take your coffee pot with you to your table, desk, or backyard, and it will stay hot right beside you just as if it was still being heated.
It is key to understand that the whole point of this coffee maker is that it is thermal which means when it is made it is dumped into a coffee pot that is really a big thermos and that is how it stays hot. This means it stays hot really long without heating, burning, and thickening. It also means your first cup of coffee will be blistering hot and each on after a little less. But big deal, i made a pot of coffee this morning when i got up at 7am it is now 12:39pm and i am drinking my last cup and it is still hot (just not blistering hot).
Common Complaints: Does it leak? Sure it does when you don't follow directions, or clean it right. Is it poorly designed? - Well there are things i would have done different but that is the case about anything. It works and works very well. It brews incredibly fast (a full pot in 5 minutes or under) and it brews blistering hot (the first cup is too hot for me often). Does it pour slowly? Well duh? of course it does, it is in an air tight thermos that is designed not to let cold air is to cool your coffee pot! Hello? What don't people get about that? Ironically, the same people who complain about temperature are the same people who say it pours to slowly. Sigh. Hey i don't care how big your mug is we are still talking seconds or pouring time not minutes, you won't die waiting, and your coffee will not be burnt or cold!
Real issues: It is true the fist 5 to 6 pots of coffee have a weird taste. There are a couple reasons for that and ways to fix it. One the pot needs to be washed after manufacturing. I advise you to save yourself the stress and go ahead and run 5-7 cycles of plain water though it before you brew coffee to make sure there is no strange first brew taste. And other reason the taste and even coffee strength can be off is it filters your water. And the filter indeed leaves a slight taste, and slows down the brew (thus the strength). If your not use to filtered water you will taste it more. I recommend you presoak your filter, to get the filter taste out (yes that will slightly decrease the strength of the filter but give you a better coffee). Or if you already use filtered water (as i do) or just don't care if it is filtered, just pull the filter out, you will get a better cup of coffee. While i i have experimented i am still using mine with the presoak. it is more of a personal issue. Also to prevent leaking wash with water and a mild dish soap and don't be overly rough with filling tank.
Lastly, i have done the research this is the best and only real choice for a thermal home coffee machine without getting into huge dollars. There are others, but they perform worse. This is a good coffee machine, you just have to understand it is not an old burner system (which for some of us is a good thing). It is cutting edge in this price range, but you need to sync with it and seek to learn what gets you the best coffee from it.
Buy. Enjoy. Have fun.
#2...I bought this coffee maker as a gift for Christmas--before I read the reviews. Once I read them, Mr. Coffee already wrapped in silver gift paper, I considered taking it back. I didn't. I kept it, and it was definitely the right decision.
Mr. Coffee was unwrapped on Christmas Eve so that the coffee could be timed and ready for Christmas Morning. I noted to the gift recipient that this gift might suck. I also noted that all the reviews were split fifty-fifty between "best thing ever" and "worthless crap I shouldn't have bothered with." My gift of Mr. Coffee-brewed morning coffee was an accompaniment to a new newspaper subscription, so I knew, at least, that if I was cleaning an inaugural coffee flood Christmas Morning, the gift recipient was entertained with news for long enough that I could whip out the French Press and present the "old way" coffee with my announcement that Mr. Coffee did indeed suck, just like half of the reviews stated.
It's been five days of use now, and here's the deal. I suspected that user error was responsible for most of the "this is crap!" responses. And I think my experience can confirm that. Here are the key things that you are probably concerned with based on other feedback:
1. Will it explode and flood my counter, floor, rug, basement, or face? NO. There are three things that will cause a flood. One is not seating the water container correctly. Just like a humidifier, the water tank has to sit in the reservoir so that it makes a seal. If you put the tank in crooked, it doesn't seat properly. Then you get flood. If you put it straight in, no problem. Perfectly sealed water reservoir. The second is not emptying the carafe. If you poured new coffee into a full coffee mug, you'd get a flood. Same idea. Pretty simple. The third, which seems to be the most frustrating is the cracked carafe. Remember, this holds coffee at NEARLY BOILING for multiple hours in a vacuum. The inside of this thing is hot. And when you add a shift in temperature, even though it's metal, it still reacts. Since it's a manufactured component piece, temperature shock will stress the joints. I would guess that anyone who has rinsed the carafe before letting it completely cool might run into this problem. Not stressing the carafe out has kept mine working tip top.
2. Will my coffee be weak and lukewarm? NO. I have no thoughts on this except it's just not true. Somehow, perhaps it's the pressure, it seems to brew stronger with less. And the temperature, while I haven't taken a thermometer to it, is hot enough that adding cold milk doesn't make any less of hot beverage. Additionally, I'm not joking when I say that the thermal vacuum-sealed carafe keeps the coffee hotter than hot for over two hours. The machine recipient is the slow kind of coffee drinker. One that typically has a cold half-cup after some leisurely sipping. Not having to brew more coffee to keep it fresh and warm over the course of the day, or reheat in the microwave is really a treat. We went out and shoveled the cars and sidewalk the other day while the coffee sat snug in its carafe. Just like a fresh pot--hot and tasty, HOURS later.
3. Does it take eighty hours to pour a cup? NO. It's a slow pour. THE CARAFE IS VACUUM SEALED! It would defeat its heat-keeping magic if the top just opened up and poured like a milk carton. The top to the carafe is two inches thick to make sure that it stays sealed. Patience. The slow pour is there for a reason! The ONLY little thing about this: there may still be some left when you get to the bottom. But surprise! Open the top! It's just as hot and delicious as the rest!
Basically, treat this machine as the sophisticated multi-part machine that it is, and it will do just fine. It's not the slam-the-carafe-into-the-hot-plate, don't-worry-about-the-dripping-it-doesn't-stain, type of machine. The water has its own tank. The filter purifies the water in a separate addition to the filter basket. The brewing mechanism makes a seal above the carafe, and the carafe stays sealed with perfectly hot coffee far longer than any other drinking container I've seen.
So, do reconsider the major complaints posted in these reviews. If you need to keep coffee hot a long time, this is certainly the way to go. Oh yeah, and the timer works just fine. Additionally, I've always wondered who writes these things when they're lengthy. I've never had a product go so wrong that I wanted to save everyone else from repeating my frustration. But now I've written one, and for this one, I know, I was prepared to have bought something crappy because I didn't do my research. But then realized that a little time with the directions, and a little respect for what I had purchased and everything would be just fine. Unless I come back and amend this in a few days when I've thrown it out the window and put my name in the "Yes, it IS crap!" category, I would recommend this machine highly if it has the qualities that you're looking for. Don't go hating on the Mr. Coffee BVMC-PSTX91. Just understand it. And then enjoy the coffee you can brew together.
