MUELLER HOME 12-Cup Pink Coffee Maker | Borosilicate Carafe, Auto-Off, Reusable Filter, Anti-Drip, Keep-Warm Function

I bought this coffee maker after my previous one finally broke. I was specifically looking for a few key features which this coffee maker had. I wanted a coffee maker that had a mechanical On/Off switch, and I wanted a coffee maker that did NOT automatically shut off after a period of time. The reason I wanted these features is because I am slowly but surely turning my home into a “smart home” and I have been wanting to automate as many things as I can. Surprisingly at the time I was looking at this coffee maker I don’t believe there was a coffee maker with native Apple HomeKit compatibility. To my knowledge as of October, 2023 there still isn’t. That wasn’t a big deal, because I have a smart outlet that I plugged the coffee maker into. Now I can have the coffee maker turn on and start brewing coffee at whatever time I set up the automation for, so that when I finally get out of bed the coffee is already brewing. Yes, I could have done that with an automatic coffee maker that has a built-in timer, but this is great because I can program the outlet to turn on/off at various times or set up stipulations that someone has to be home in order for it work (preventing the coffee maker from doing its thing when we are away from home and forgot to turn off the auto feature on other coffee pots that we have had.) I also really appreciate the fact that it doesn’t auto shutoff after 2 or 4 hours. I know that is meant to be a safety feature, but with my smart home it is an unnecessary feature. I have an automation set up that when the last person leaves home it shuts the outlet off. Normally I don’t assume that the automation will work, but in case I forget it will take care of it for me. Another feature, and I am not sure if this was a deliberate feature or not, but I have noticed that when it is brewing, occasionally it will pause brewing for a short time (maybe 30-45 seconds??) and that is good, because it allows me to pick up the coffee pot when it is still brewing and pour myself a cup if I am too impatient to wait for it to finish. It DOES have “pause and pour” meaning that there is a check valve that shuts off the flow to the carafe so that the coffee doesn’t just continue to keep pouring out on to the burner, but with this pause there is typically ZERO drips. May sound like a little thing (and truthfully it is), but that little drip gets on to the burner and the water quickly evaporates leaving coffee residue which I would have to clean up later. If I wait until the brewing temporarily pauses on its own then I prevent even a single drip. Like I said it is a small thing, but it is just one more small little thing that makes me really like this coffee pot even more. It is so ironic in a day and age when things are getting more technical and more sophisticated that I would willingly choose a coffee pot that is as simple as it can possibly get. I have had coffee makers that were far more sophisticated, but in the end I want to be able to control the coffee maker via my smart home and not have the coffee maker control itself. Lastly, I wanted to mention that the coffee pot is very reasonably priced at just under $30. The fact that I got a good quality coffee maker that is exactly what I was looking for and it also was among the lowest price that Amazon had to offer is a win-win for me! I have zero regrets buying this coffee maker. Actually, that’s not true — I wish I would have bought it sooner! If you’re on the fence, go ahead and get it — it’s a beautifully simple coffee pot which is exactly what I was looking for!

We're very satisfied with the Mueller 12-Cup Drip Coffee Maker. A great value and brews a consistent cup of piping-hot coffee. No frills, but provides all you need to produce a delicious cup (or carafe's worth) coffee. I grind whole bean, Cuban coffee from Mayorga. 12-cup capacity, no leakage, no odor, space-saving, what more could a coffee snub want? Well played Mueller! Highly recommend! 5 Stars!!!!

great maker, Simple to use and does a great job

Works perfectly, brews great coffee. Even the scoop they provided with it is the perfect size for me. It has one problem that is minor for me, because I only make five cups, but may be catastrophic for someone making a full pot. The problem is that the cover of the basket area and water tank appears to lock while brewing, apparently so you don't burn yourself, but if you don't close the lid tightly, the machine will brewing the coffee with an open cover, and also the ball at the bottom of the basket doesn't go down far enough to allow the carafe cover to push the button on the basket, so the water just stays with the grounds in the basket. Intuitively, it seems the tank could overflow. Except for that it's worth the modest pricr.

Love it! Good, basic, simple, excellent coffee maker. Enjoy the colours, tho I had thought the pink was a tad deeper as it looked in the photo.

Great little coffee maker. I wanted a simple, no fuss full sized coffee maker without a big footprint and this one is perfect. Easy to clean, highly recommend.

This coffee pot was reasonably priced, arrived very quickly and seems to be working well. The only small downfall is the spout on the coffee pot; you do have to be careful and poor slow so the coffee does not rush out too quickly and spill.

It works great, although I ordered the wrong one on accident. But it does the job for now.

Great coffee maker! The colour is fantastic, and the machine works quite well. I definitely recommend this.

Don't buy! You will waste your money. Stopped working after 3 months.
