I purchased the Mr. Coffee JWX27 to replace an old, old programmable Mr. Coffee coffeemaker. I picked the JWX27 because it has stainless steel trim, the appearance of which I like, but it doesn't have a thermal carafe that a lot of the stainless brewers have and I don't want, and it is reasonably priced. My old brewer wasn't anything fancy to look at, but it started up in the morning on its own and it made good coffee. This new model has several "improvements" that actually take away from the simple, useful appliance the old one was.First, the water filter. This is a piece of filtering material in a frame that lays on top of the brew basket. You have to pivot the water head away from over the brew basket and pick up the filter gadget to get to the basket to put your coffee in it. I plan to throw this junky thing away. It's a messy, annoying contraption that is just getting on the way of setting up the coffeemaker and I have some serious doubts about its effectiveness since it looks like it's made of paper. Additionally, if you're trying to brew a second pot quickly after the first, it's hot!Speaking of the brew basket, rather than sitting in a separate assembly that pivots in and out over the carafe, to get to the basket on the JWX27, you have to flip open lid of the brewing machine. Once you get the water filter out of the way, there are some little loops to pull the basket out by, but it's not as neat as past designs that had a handle on the side to lift out the basket for dumping used filters/coffee grounds.On the positive side, the clock and start timer are easy to set and are easy to understand how to brew immediately or brew at a programmed time. I have no need for the timer that can tell me how long the brewed coffee has been sitting, but it doesn't make itself annoying in any way, so no problem with it. The heating element turns itself off after two hours, which is peace of mind for when you are sitting at your desk at work wondering "did I turn off the coffeepot?" and worrying that you'll burn the house down.The "pause 'n serve" function is still there for when you can't wait for a pot to finish up before getting that first cup of coffee into your cup but if I could figure out how to remove or disable the irritating beeper that goes off when the brew cycle is done, I'd totally do it. I live in a small house and when my coffee is ready at 5:00 AM, the rest of my family doesn't need to be woken up by Mr. Coffee obnoxiously announcing himself!The JWX27 has a feature to switch between "regular" and "strong" brewing, and set on "strong", the resulting coffee (when I brew my usual 4 cups rather than a full pot) I get a nice strong "wake you up in the morning" brew.In conclusion, my overall impression is that the Mr. Coffee JWX27 has a host of features that actually take away from the utility and ease of use that the basic no-frills Mr. Coffee design has but in spite of the unnecessary (from my perspective) annoyances, it makes a decent pot of coffee for a reasonable price.

I don't actually drink coffee, but I gave this coffeemaker to my parents for Christmas -- and I took a long time to choose one at that time. Dad wanted a glass carafe which he could fit his hand into (in case it needed a scrub), an auto shutoff, and a timer feature so the brew would be ready for him upon waking. And he didn't want ten million controls which he would never use. It's gotten daily use since then (in addition to a few cups of coffee every morning, the carafe and basket have been put through the dishwasher every two or three days, and the cleaning cycle is used just about every day) and we've never had a problem. I didn't even know it came with a special filter, as the other reviewer noted, but Dad wouldn't have used it anyway -- he was old school. Mom and Dad always said the coffee tasted perfect. I am buying one now myself to have on hand for when Mom visits.

The coffee maker makes a good hot, enjoyable cup of coffee. I am certainly no coffee connoisseur, but am very satisfied with the coffee. Unfortunately, the machine has several serious design flaws. I would NOT purchase this machine again because:-Cleaning is much more difficult and time consuming than my old Sunbeam machine. On my old Sunbeam, the entire basket ensemble was removable and easily washable in the sink. On my new Mr. Coffee machine the basket itself is removable, but it sits inside the main reservoir of the machine, and coffee and grinds splashes up inside there, so on a daily basis, after removing and washing the basket I also need to wipe out the interior of the machine. Also, the water reservoir is right next to the basket with minimal division, so coffee and grinds splashes into the area around the basket and water reservoir as it is being brewed! Not a very smart design.-The clock is not backlit or in color (it has small black numbers on a gray background, while my old Sunbeam had large red numbers on a black background) so it is impossible to read from a distance, and can be difficult to read close up depending on the angle and room lighting.-Water reservoir cover is hinged on the left, making it difficult for lefties, such as myself, to pour the water in. (I need to use a weird wrist motion to pour from the rear of the machine, as it is unfathomable to me to use my right hand for this.) My old Sunbeam machine was hinged on the rear, which made a lot more sense.-The removable basket to hold the disposable filter is black plastic. I specifically purchased a white machine (even though most of my kitchen appliances are black) because I wanted to be able to see when it was dirty. The entire machine is white, except for this one part which of course gets the most dirty (I guess they don't want you to be able to see this).-The mid-brew delay to allow for you to sneak a cup of coffee while the pot is still brewing does not work - it makes a big mess (on my old Sunbeam this feature worked great). Additionally, every time I remove/replace the carafe some water or coffee must leak as liquid hits the warmer and sizzles for a bit.On the positive side:-While pouring coffee the carafe does not leak for me at all.-The coffee stays HOT in the carafe for the entire warming period (2 hours I think). Much hotter than my old machine.-Very easy and clear to set and program.To sum up, while the resulting cup of coffee is very good, the flaws in design and difficulty cleaning make it a poor coffee brewing experience. I would NOT purchase this machine again or recommend it to anyone, as I'm sure there are machines out there without these seemingly simple to correct flaws.
