Mr. Coffee 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Review

- Hi Guys, today I’m reviewing the Mr. Coffee BVMC-SJX33GT 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker. LINK to Mr. Coffee 12-cup Coffeemaker: amzn.to/1LitReg
LINK to Permanent Filter: amzn.to/2akGhZt It measures 13 inches tall, 7.5 inches wide and 9 inches deep. The unit comes with a glass carafe, removable filter basket, water filtration disk, holder and instruction manual. You can use paper filters or buy a permanent filter separately. It comes in chrome and this red. It looks beautiful and modern.
The glass carafe hold a maximum of 12 cups. This is the water window, you can see how much water is in the reservoir. This is the on/off indicator light. This button is for delay brew, you can set it up to 24 hours ahead to brew coffee. There’s a freshness timer that tells you how long your coffee has been sitting in the pot. The brew strength selector lets you customize your cup of coffee. There is auto-pause so you can pull out the carafe even while the coffee is brewing and not have it drip everywhere. The unit shuts off automatically after 2 hours in case you forget to turn it off. The basket comes out for easy cleaning. The carbon based filter is supposed to remove up to 97% of chlorine from your water. I use filtered water so I don’t need to use this filter, it’s up to you whether you want to use this or not. Cord storage in the back.
If you want a thermal carafe to keep coffee hot longer, buy it separately, it is compatible with this unit.
Before using, clean machine first - do not use the filter. Run equal parts vinegar and water through the machine. I used 1 cup vinegar and 1 cup water. Then I ran 2 pots of water one at a time. Let’s make coffee. 3 beeps when coffee is ready.The coffee is weak using the regular or strong brew strength.
Right now this unit is about $30. You’re getting a lot of features and a 12-cup size coffeemaker for that price. The Mr. Coffee makes hot coffee. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it because it makes weak coffee. I hope you found this review helpful. Please subscribe for more reviews and I’ll see you next time :) - Навчання та стиль
Use more coffee. I have a Mr Coffee machine and I love it! Would recommend to anybody.
Thats what i was thinking!! Haha
Yes I agree like why take this you tubers side? One scoop of sugar like she must eat the coffee grounds for breakfast. She’s so darn particular I hope no one listens to her reviews because there just another opinion among millions.
Then what’s the point of buying the machine if it’s going to cost you to waste more money by adding more coffee into it? I have a regular mr coffee with the switch and have no problems with weak coffee. I feel that simpler is better
Where you pour the water?
Thanks for the review. One thing I noticed on this particular machine is that the showerhead is pretty small. Ideally you want a coffeemaker with larger showerhead because the more surface area of the ground coffee the hot water comes in contact with initially - it makes for a stronger, more flavorful pot of coffee.
I have this coffeeemaker & I love it! It brews the coffee to perfection.
Nice review. One of my friends has this coffee maker and I've had a decent cup of coffee from it a few times. The trick for a stronger cup of coffee is to use the strong setting and use 6-8 scoops with the 1/8 cup (29.5 ml) coffee measure for a full 12 cup pot. She and I both grind our beans fresh & like strong coffee. Most of the drip pots I've used seem to make a little weaker coffee than other methods, but are probably more convenient.
Anyway, good review of how it actually works. Keep up the good reviews. Thank you.
Hi Bill, glad you enjoyed the review :)
Thank You for the Pro-Tip, I just received one for Christmas. It really did look a bit weak following it's Own Instructions lol!!! I put 8.5 Spoonfuls into a 10 cup batch...Hopefully I didn't overdo it😅😅...
I have this coffee maker, it's very reliable and very good to use.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Drake :)
bestkitchenreviews i thank you now i know how to make coffee
+bestkitchenreviews you wanna try some strong coffee? add this and your coffee will be strong www.bonescoffee.com/products/bones-coffee-companys-high-voltage-2x-caffeine?variant=25257763265&gclid=CL_O1deuk9MCFZKCswodb_cJ2Q
I would have agreed with you, except that mine stopped brewing 2 days ago. It turns on, but it won't brew. What a waste!
Have you had the coffee grounds over flow into the reservoir cause the spring wasnt pushed right?
I just received this someone gave it to me nothing wrong with it it came in the chrome one you said I did the vinegar Ritz and with two extra rinces afterwards made a fresh pot this morning and it works great I love this coffee maker I decided I like the strong brew it tasted wonderful
The strength of the coffee in a drip machine is based solely on the coffee to water ratio, not necessarily the machine Mine is great and the coffee is always strong. The NCA ( National Coffee Association) recommends 2 Tablespoons per every 6oz. Sounds like a lot but most coffee shops use this ratio. You can do 2 TBLS per 8oz if the former is too strong.
Ha! I would just add one more spoon of coffee grounds!
Well I love mine. My husband and I use ours twice a day. And we use the strong brew in the morning and the normal in the evenings. This is a great coffee pot.
Love the Hawaii mug!
try black silk from folgers for a smooth refined strong coffee flavor,the regular mr coffee pot does a great job brewing this type of coffee,and at a great price for folks who drink a lot of coffee.
I drink 4 cups a day I live coffee and Bustelo coffee is the truth. That coffee is strong in any machine. I love my Mr coffee maker ....
Sams club has an excellent deal on black silk for anyone that’s a member
That's a really attractive machine, I'm glad I chose it over the black round one
Thank you for a great review. I appreciated the explanation of the thermal option.
+911no Hi, you're welcome! Glad you liked the review :)
This is a great coffee pot. I have used mine for years. Maybe you need more coffee.
Thanks for sharing this video, very helpful... I especially love the idea of cleaning the machine with vinegar, it's so brilliant... As soon as I opened the box, the first thing came to my mind was how to clean this machine! I really appreciate the intelligence here... Im enjoying this cleaning process now💃Btw i know a lot of women using vinegar in their dishwashers instead of cancer causing detergents... Hope this will be helpful too... 🙏🏻💞🙌
Hi Rose, glad you found the video helpful! Please subscribe if you haven't already :)
Very informative and detailed. Learned a lot!
Glad you liked it 😀
Such an honest review. Thank you.
Best honest review, thank you
Thanks, Amy 😀
Maybe use more coffee?
That means you spend more money on coffee.
+TJB3NC - The coffee she's using, Lavazza Ground House Blend Coffee - 10 ounce, costs about $11/can on the low side. So, unless she's willing to brew chicory root coffee, she's not going to use any more than necessary. Usually, I just use Yuban low grade arabica bean coffee and kill off the ick with CoffeeMate.
That's exactly what she needs to do. People misunderstand that strong switch, that has more to do with a more "burned in" taste. You can't make stronger what doesn't exist, you need more coffee. The "strong" just "cooks" what you have a bit more.
@@clemsonbloke Thank God you understand
Stronger setting does work. For people that don’t understand, it simply pours the water out very slowly. Making the water have longer contact with coffee
Thanks for the info. We are fans of coffee.
this is therapeutic
I love this coffee pot
You are ruthless!!
Thanks for the review. I just bought this unit last night from Walmart after doing online pricing research in order to buy local rather than order online and wait X-days. The ceiling was $50 to replace an old GE unit that kicked the bucket after 30+ years.
I haven't opened the coffee maker box yet because I've been doing some additional research. Consumer Reports doesn't give very high marks to anything in the under-$100 category. CR does recommend the Cuisinart Perfect Temp DCC-2800 model with the KitchenAid KCM1202OB being next in line. Although, if you read the reviews on the manufacturer websites, Amazon, and elsewhere, it seems even these relatively well rated coffee makers have issues for some people. Worst case scenario, I'll just keep making coffee by bringing water up under a boil and using tongs to steep a big tea ball infuser filled with coffee wrapped in a paper filter.
Double interesting that you've been having problems with this model if that's what you meant. I've been using this Mr. Coffee maker model since May 2016 and I haven't had any problems with it. The one ding I think CR or someone else had against it is that it doesn't brew coffee at the optimal temp, which is supposed to be 195-F. Based on my analog meat thermometer test, it brews the coffee around 180-F. Even so, the coffee has been fine and it's not like I'm a connoisseur brewing Starbucks. Yuban is low tier arabica or just false advertising, but with some CoffeeMate to kill the ick and preserve the caffeine, it's all I can justifiably afford at the moment.
Btw, keep your receipt and write your bottom box info in the manual in case you ever have to call Mr. Coffee about a problem that requires a fix or swap. The unit is warrantied against defects for 1 year. Although, if you buy it at Walmart, they offer a 2 year warranty backup/extension for $3.
The Walmart extended warranty covers the same things and a few others not covered by Mr. Coffee in the 1st and 2nd year. So, even though most extended warranties are a waste of money per Consumer Reports, to get a 1 year warranty extended to 2 years for $3 seemed worthwhile to me. Since some people got a lemon, or were just fishing for a new one for family and friends by complaint on the Mr. Coffee model forums, $3 seemed like a no brainer.
I have had mine for years and make mine full pot with a heaping 1/3 cup of coffee. and is great. Changing the amount of grounds/water is the key factor.
That's a good idea ahead of it's time. I've been using a 2 Tbs scoop to put 8 Tbs of coffee in the paper filter. I need to see how much that amount is in cups.
I have the Mr.coffee and it works pretty good...
Thanks for sharing 😀
Thanks for this information. My niece moved out of town and let me have hers and I had no idea how to work it
Have this exact Mr. Coffer maker. It is really nice.
Just made my first pot. Went from a ninja (it sucked, went through 2 so far) coffee is a little weak in comparison but not bad. Hopefully this one works better in the long run as I drink coffee all day long every day!
I got the one that costs about 140$ and it taste so good! We got it on sale for 70$
What’s a scoop tho, tablespoon? Or how many cups per water.
can you just add more grains to not be weak?
Not everyone is gifted to understand this lol
yes to make it strong I add 4 cups of water to the 4 cups measurements of the glass like she did and add 6 coffee scoops and its strong and perfect.
So in other words, if you don't like your coffee too strong, then this is the perfect coffee maker. I think would be a better and fair statement instead. Thanks for the review.
Nicely explained.
+Pratiksha Mukhia Thanks :)
I do like that the "strong" & "regular" lights turn off when brewing is done. I have a Krups coffee maker and if you are out of earshot when the brewing buzzer goes off and come back in to check -- there are no indicator lights. Too bad about the weak coffee tho...
does strong setting make the coffee hotter it isn't hot enough for me?
How to set the timer for coffee in the morning SJ Series
Thank you so much! You just helped me save $30 =)
Thank u . I missed u putting in the water filter. I saw u put in the paper filter
beth bullock she said she uses filtered water so she doesn’t use the water filter
Are you sure it’s not the coffee you buy cause I use bostelo coffee in every coffee maker I buy and it taste the same to me
Mr. Coffee is great - maybe try adding more coffee... - one (1) question - why do u stir - counter clockwise -? - I have the same model - it’s great 👍
I have this. Love it but is getting slower and slower. Not clogged. Does the heating element weaken over time?
I have this coffee maker and I always have coffee grounds in my coffee. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong ?
We have one of these at my work, and the delay won't go off. It comes on when the unit is turned on, but it wont brew. How do I get the delay to turn off?
my two green and one blue light are on, but it's not pumping the water up nor is the plate heating. did I do something wrong?
Great video. Very professional but I think it’s time to upgrade my coffee maker
do we put water according to how much we want to brew? or we can adjust how much coffee we want?
My grandma has the same exact coffee maker except it is not as fancy it does not make weak coffee it does not have a brew strength selector it has two separate buttons for turning it on and off and it does not beep
Thank you so much
The filter goes on top of the basket, there is even a counter on it so you can change it every month.
i bought mine two months ago and i started using it everyday for about a month and it stopped brewing
how does one use the water filter disk? and whats the red dial on it for?
I would try using more coffee
She said "this some WEAK coffee" 😂😂 Great video!
for the fort one must put water, for the second round?
I'm here because my coworker decided to buy a coffee pot for work instead of a Keurig.
How do you set the clock and delayed brew time?
And mine has No light on the clock
I just bought this coffee maker today and I love it why waste money in buying something you don't like but ok
Love love my new Keurig. But...I keep forgetting to push the brew button!! lol
Honestly, I can't find any coffee maker that's even half as good as a Bunn Coffee Maker! Don't in under 3 minutes and it's the best tasting coffee I've ever had! Just too bad they cost over $100 and that's for the cheaper Bunn coffee maker.. although they do last a long time! I've became very spoiled with my Bunn that my Mother In Law bought us.. only thing is.. can't replace it! =(
+B. Bundy Hi, thanks for sharing 😀 The Bunns are well made!
I enjoy your review's they are very helpful , could you review the Ninja coffee bar I would like to see what you think about it.
+ALMA RIVERA Hi Alma, Glad you enjoy the reviews. Yes, the Ninja coffee bar review is coming soon :)
bestkitchenreviews my Mr coffee has an auto clean feature where a red light flashes, how do I active the cleaning cycle. HELP!
I live with my mother who has this same machine which we use. I don't like it. It brews weak coffee and you can't turn it back on once you turn off the machine. If you do, it just starts brewing again. Once brewed, I have to wait about 10 minutes because the coffee is too hot to drink unless you add water or cream. I drink my coffee black.
Actually the coffee strength was okay for me, I didnt notice it being weak, nothing that more grinds wouldnt cover.
Why it makes week coffee no matter if you use the regular or strong setting
I really wanted to see how the filter is used?
+beth bullock Hi Beth, I put the filter basket in at 2:16. The permanent filter or paper filter sits inside the filter basket. Hope that helps. Please subscribe if you haven't already :)
I end up with grounds in my coffee pot..
How do I make it not shut off after 2 hr
I have a black and decker select a size easy dial coffee and it doesn't work after 2 days.
Thank you, I appreciate your view... However, you left out the most important Review... The exact temperature of when the coffee is made between 195 to 205 degrees... What happened???
I have had this thing for years, just took it out of the box due to Covid-19. 😩
Thanks for the video. Is there such a thing as a water pump? What moves the water through the coffee maker to the brew basket?
The water boils and turns to steam which then rises, cools enough to condense back into liquid, and then drips over the coffee. No pump required.
Had to come back to this video because last time it was leaking every where 😂
I bought mine before finding this review. I found my coffee very weak. I set the timer button and on the third day when I added more coffee because it was too weak it overflowed.
You add more coffee grounds and if you added more water with your pot still filled with coffee then yes it would over flow.
According to America's Test Kitchen they say the "strong" setting only makes your coffee bitter. Why not add more Coffee? I use dark roast because i love strong strong coffee :)
Ok how to activate the time for morning coffee?
Does it have a high altitude mode?
After 1 min my machine beeped go off. I need to reset the machine. Can you tell me
i'm no expert but can't you just use more coffee?????
That would require logic, silly.
It means you pay more money on a basis
She’s using pricy coffee so she’s tryna conserve
Either hand make your coffee with a press, or chemex. If not, and your looking to make a larger amount, use more coffee grounds.
How can it MAKE weak coffee? It is only hot water going over coffee grinds.Only the amount of coffee to water ratio will determine if weak or strong.
Couple mistakes in your process...1...coffee water ratio...may need more to make it stronger...2...try a paper filter...i have this same model and i love it 😁😁😁...makes strong coffee just the way i like it
It didnt even last a year . the heating element died . then it started leaking water from under the element plate. It was nice for about 8 mo. My Fiance Jada , bought it for me just before she died!😰😭 It was her last gift to me. Now i dont have that anymore! Thanks MR. COFFEE, POOR QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP. NO Q/A at factory anymore obviously BECAUSE this is the 3rd coffee pot by Mr. Coffee in 10 yrs that has done the very same thing right after buying it!! I wasted 40.00 for one pot then 60.00 for a replacement. A 20.00 coffee pot made by a competitor a basic modle for 12 cups lasted 7 yrs like im use to. Thanks for all the bad memorys Mr. Coffee.
Maybe you could have shown where you poured the water
I just purchased this unit because I go thru coffee makers like hot French fries sitting on a car seat! One thing I do not like is there is NO back-light for the clock, and I could care less how long the coffee has been sitting (fresh brew timer - this feature is stupid). For that matter, why isn't there a 'Start may car engine because I am about to leave the house' button? When I go to buy another one, it won't be a Mr. Coffee.
what's the brew basket? do you need it ? idk how to use it :( do I put in the paper filter inside the brew basket or do I take the basket out with the water filter and just use the paper ?
She demonstrated all that in the video.
Cleaned it with water and worked fine, tried to make my first cup of coffee and it wont work! What the heck?!?!?!
I went to Ollie's to get the red Mr coffee
Mine drips if I take the glass out 🥺 and it didn’t come with a filter 😭 I’ve only had it for a couple of months . Time to get a new one. Or is this a newer version 🧐?
candykizz3z68 mines didn’t come with it either hummmm🤔
I literally just bought one today and it didn't come with the filter either
Thank you, coming from a teenager who's dad asked her to make coffe 🥲💗
😀
There should be a disclaimer NOT to open the water reservoir during/after brewing: that steam is scalding hot: hot enough to raise blisters on your hand. This means that you can not brew more than a single pot at a time: for multiple pots the machine has to cool off to save yourself some burns.
How do u unclog one?
Love the review but I was hoping you would have went over changing from glass to thermal. My coffee maker is stuck on thermal and I can't get it off.... Like I don't even know what button to press...or if there even is one... I've scoured the internet on how to change it to make it where it doesn't automatically set to thermal and I just keep on coming back to your video. And I watched your video multiple times and you definitely don't go over that so....
i specifically wanted to see how the water filter went in. maybe i missed it. :(
Carolyn Beamen everything I wanted to see how to do, they didn't show in this video 😑
I know. I hate it when that happens!
me too
Carolyn Beamen i want to buy one . Is it good or no .
Wich coffee maker is better
Me too
The first day it worked now it goes to carp after a day and another. So me and my mom r taking it back.to Walmart.
I bought this coffee maker for about $45 from Amazon and got a little over a year's use and then it quit, lights up and all the buttons work, but doesn't brew. I bought it for the color since I have a blender and toaster in the same tone of red. I purchased this after my other red Mr. Coffee Maker stopped working in a little over a year, also. Each time, I brought out my cheap 19.99 Mr. Coffee Maker to replace them. I watched some videos on UA-cam but don't think I can repair them so I'm sticking with my cheapie and when it breaks, I'll just buy another cheap one.
I had the same experience, $45 at Target, lasted a year and now lights up, but nothing happens. Took it apart and found the element is open electrically as shown on an ohm meter. Certainly seems to be a common problem, too bad the quality is so low on products anymore....gotta get too much cash back to stockholders or owners I suppose. Sigh. I really would rather pay twice as much and get something that lasts instead of going through a total of about five coffee makers in about the same number of years.....throwing things away, going back up to the store, fuel, packaging, waste, shipping the product from China, trucking it across the country from port, etc etc. What a waste, build it right once!!!!
The exact same thing happened to mine two days ago. It lights up, but it won't brew. Meanwhile, the $9.99 coffeemaker is working just fine. I will never again buy another Mr. Coffee product again!
How many Watts does it take to run the coffee maker please. I need this information because I am buying a Power Inverter.
+Richard Oakes Hi Richard, I'm not sure but similar models are 900 - 1000 watts.
Any help with finding a coffee maker with similar features as this one but brews better tasting coffee?
+Marcos Martinez Hi Marcos, the Black & Decker 12 cup made a decent cup of coffee and is around the same price, here is the link - amzn.to/1MXfXRm. If you want a very good cup of coffee but pay more, get the Cuisinart 12-cup - here is the link amzn.to/1STRyOB You can view reviews of both coffee makers on my channel. Hope that helps :)
+bestkitchenreviews Exactly what I was looking for Thanks!
Great, you're welcome!
We’ve had ours for 1 1/2 months and now it turns it’s self on and off and won’t stop so this coffee maker has a problem with its electronic programmer.
Add 4x to 10 x times the coffee. I'll bet It will be like espresso.
I just want to know where the water filter goes
Hi Barbara, the filter should be put in it's holder and sits on top of the basket. Hope that helps! Please subscribe if you haven't already :)
thank you
:)
@@wiznup I watched entire video and I didn't see her demonstrate where to put filter she showed it and said she doesn't need it but didn't show where it goes, I know where it goes but js
@@jesnrbrt4evr11 oops you're right, I was thinking about the filter basket. I'll delete my comment.
where to put water?
I use one more teaspoon than the recipe calls for.
