Thank You Mr. Coffee

I think my first introduction to Mr. Coffee, was in the movie Spaceballs. It stood next to Mr. Radar, and it received a lot of attention from Dark Helmet. After growing older, and having more responsibilities that have led to considerably less sleep, I needed to buy a coffee maker for my kitchen. Like most people, I work maddening hours, and have a dirtball boss who's always looking over my shoulder. I have a mortgage to pay, along with food for my 2.5 kids and 1.3 dogs. So after much research and shopping around, I decided to buy this Mr. Coffee machine.

There are plenty of coffee makers to choose from, with lots of different options. Its almost like buying a car, and I didn't want to get stuck with a Daihatsu Rocky. I also didn't want to spend a fortune for a kitchen appliance, even though some of these coffee makers can retrieve the newspaper and tranquilize the dog at the same time. This machine at $49.99 seemed to offer everything I wanted, as there are plenty of neat features. There is a clock /Fresh Brew Timer display, programmable timer for delayed brewing, Pause and Serve,Warming Plate Temperature Selector, as well as a Brew Strength Button. In addition to all of these features, it has a nuclear green display that gives the kitchen an eerie Three Mile Island glow. I like this, as it is futuristic.

This is a large coffee machine, so make sure your cabinets are high enough for it to go under. The glass carafe will handle up to twelve cups of Java, and I like the quality of it. Its not flimsy in any regard, and the machine itself appears to have built by the folks at Mr. Goodwrench. It is very easy to use, and the clock and programmable delay are a breeze to set up. This is the main reason I bought it, as I can have it make coffee at my designated time everyday. This also helps with its rather long brew times.
