This is Mr. Coffee’s plainest 12-cup drip machine: a glass carafe, a removable basket filter, and one convenience feature — auto-pause, so you can steal a cup before the pot finishes. There is no clock, no delay brew, and no strength selector.
One feature, and it’s the whole pitch
Auto-pause is the machine’s entire value proposition beyond basic brewing: pull the carafe mid-cycle and the flow stops instead of dripping onto the hot plate, so you can pour a cup and put it back. Reseller listings describe the rest of the machine in equally plain terms — a lift-out basket filter for filling and cleaning, an on/off indicator light, a dual water window so you can see fill level from either side, and cord storage for tidying the counter. There’s no programmable clock anywhere in the feature list, and no brew-strength control.
The specs come with a caveat
Mr. Coffee’s own site doesn’t carry a dedicated page for this specific model, so the numbers below come from a reseller listing rather than the manufacturer directly: 900W draw, dimensions of roughly 12.56in high, 11.76in wide and 8.43in deep, a weight of 3.6lb, and a 26in cord. Treat these as reseller-reported rather than manufacturer-confirmed, and double-check against your specific listing before buying if exact measurements matter for where it will sit.
What “simplest possible” actually means
A full-size pot with no timer means you turn it on when you want coffee, not the night before. For some kitchens that’s a downgrade from a programmable machine. For others — an office break room, a household that drinks coffee at irregular hours, anyone who has never once used the delay-brew feature on a fancier machine — it removes a menu of settings nobody was using anyway. The tradeoff is real in both directions, and the machine doesn’t try to hide which one it made.
Before you buy
- Confirm the wattage and dimensions with your seller before ordering — the figures here are reseller-reported, not from Mr. Coffee’s own site.
- Don’t buy this expecting a programmable clock or delay brew; neither exists on this model.
- Check whether the basket filter takes standard paper cone or basket filters, since the listings we found don’t specify a size.
- If brew strength control matters to you, look at Mr. Coffee’s programmable line instead — this model has none.
