Mueller Ultra Coffee Maker, Programmable 12-Cup Machine, Multiple Brew Strength, Keep Warm

Among all coffee makers under $50, it was the only one. The price was 00 dollars and the rating was five stars. Those ratings are not clear from where they came. The taste of cheap plastic in every cup of coffee after a month of daily use and multiple cleanings with vinegar, soap and water has dissipated. There is a 'strong brew' button, which makes it a little better, but not by All - even non-English speakers There are some picky coffee drinkers and hotel guests who complain about This one will be put on the shelf for emergencies and we've invested in a stovetop coffee maker made of stainless steel. You might want to take another look at another economical coffee maker option unless you prefer the taste and smell of plastic. In all ways, this product disappoints. It appears impressive on the counter but fails to deliver on all counts. You can't get good coffee no matter what brand or grind you use as long as it's too hot and bad tasting. I am sorry for the money I wasted.

It is pretty disappointing to share that 5 hours after receiving this Mueller coffee maker, the entire experience with it is awful. Initially attracted to the appearance and Austrian engineering, as well as the price, I am quite disappointed. First of all, I was supposed to receive it the day after it shipped I thought I would have it in a few days . . . That's not right! 1) it shipped after a week, then it took a week in shipping (yes, I know, riots, etc all very good reasons why delivery The first indication I got was that. While I can understand that you get what you pay for, it was almost shocking to see the cheap, flimsy plastic that is comparable to one of those cheap, poorly made 2 inch cardboard boxes. There is a coffee maker in the motel room. I believes I was deceived by the stainless steel appearance of the picture, and also by my own naive disillusion that all things Austrian must be well made. However, this mueller coffee pot is uncomfortable to use. Defining the worst part of the story, I would like to mention that the Mr. A coffee mug I owned previously for the same price is made of a much more sturdy plastic that does not smell I have to admit that there is a major letdown After spending 5 hours trying so hard to make this burning plastic smell disappear, I have run water on this mueller coffee maker, ran vinegar, poured vinegar down the sink and am going to try again later. There is no escape from it. I still stand. The smell problem has not been solved despite over a dozen runs. I briefly, mistakenly, thought that I had solved In no way will I ever drink coffee from this pot, nor would I ever serve it to guests or loved ones, as it smells horribly of toxic, melted plastic as it is overwhelmingly, dishearteningly loud. There are many valuable lessons to be The fact that it is Austrian does not guarantee that it is made with superior engineering and components. Review products before purchasing (I didn't, unfortunately, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this review. Usually, what you get for what you pay for is of equal quality, but sometimes items of equal price don't deliver equal value (hands down, Mr. The product that is better is coffee). In order to avoid replacing an item I think is broken, research troubleshooting methods (I learned this from trying to resolve the mueller thing that flushed my Mr. Coffee and vinegar cleaned it--it was the clog, not the broken part that needed to be repaired! ) , you won't lose time and money if anyone refrains from wasting yours As a result of reading this very honest review, I saved time and money, it was a hassle and even annoyance, and the only positive came out of this. The whole experience was disappointing, since I thought I was on to something cool and hip with this European brand that had quality products at a student budget price. Several products from their line look smart and attractive in the picture, and I was already going to dig out more from their line after seeing their prices were friendly. I am shocked and alarmed by the fact that such cheap plastic is allowed in the manufacture of food and beverage preparation A further observation I noticed was that out of all the negative reviews, bad reviews had generic, carbon copied AI "call us and we'll make it right" responses, not even a genuine note of apology from Mueller's representatives. I mean, why would I want to replace it, unless it is of better quality? And do they even have better quality? As I had been promised a milk frothier as a patronage gift and thought a good review would be an easy way to say thank you, I incorrectly wrote a positive review of this mueller coffee maker before opening the box. As I wrote the review, I had high hopes of finding a delightful new coffee maker brand, and I genuinely expected that the espresso maker would be an ideal new purchase. I feel like a fool for passing up on such a great opportunity. In the future, when purchasing goods of unfamiliar brands or styles, it is good to consider how attractive the photo appears in comparison to the reality of the product. There was definitely a lot to learn from this The idea of increasing the price of mueller's plastic would seem like a no-brainer if mueller raised their plastic a few notches. They would be doing their brand and reputation a great service by taking this step. To be honest, I think that this company has the potential to become a popular favorite if they use a durable plastic that doesn't stink like a chemical plant all the time. In any case, some good design work would be compromised if they did not.

A customer who has purchased nearly a thousand items from Amazon but has never left a review But I feel the need to present a warning to the rest of you I CAN THINK OF ONLY ONE pot that tastes like burned, toxic plastic. Black plastic parts emit a chemical smell as they heat up, which infects the coffee as well. During the course of three days, I rinsed all the parts in the sink, ran water four times through it, and brewed several cups of tea. The smell of burnt plastic is still wafting from my mug and the machine. It is a- A quaffable beverage. Perhaps it is best to rely on your tongue if the taste is that toxic. Coffee is being contaminated by chemicals, but no one knows what they are. Last night, I had to go out and buy McDonald's coffee, and I will do it again today while I wait for my Mr. Coffee to arrive. That was a pretty big oversight on the design team's part. Those who gave this or more than one star must be deficient in tastebuds and lack the ability to (Unless, of course, I just happened to receive a defective item from the one assembly line where a giant load of toxic waste was dumped into the plastic mix and they just kept churning.

One of the most amazing features of the coffee maker is how compact and small it is compared to my previous one it looks and feels so nice and gives me more counter space, and space is always a welcome thing. I do believe that this machine is much easier to clean, and to reassemble than my old one, which had so many things you had to pay attention to after cleaning, and got so very very annoying. I find that this mueller machine is a very well designed product.

The first pot of brewed tea was fine, the second, the third, and the fourth were fine, too. This is not the case. Overflowing water and grinds constantly end up in the pot because the drainage is not fast enough. Coffee filters are too deep, so water does not pick up the flavor from the coffee and the coffee grinds become a brick, which has to be dug out to wash and or to In the past I haven't had a great experience with this brand's pod coffee machine, but because of the price, I thought I'd take it a second time.
