Mr. Coffee 5-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker Black: Drip Coffee Machine, Electric, Dishwasher-Safe, Paper Filter, 25 oz Capacity

A: Actually this model does NOT come with a built in reusable nylon filter. I discovered this when I brought it home and relied on this answer instead of purchasing filters. You have to buy filters.

A: The Mr. Coffee consumer care answer is not accurate. This model does NOT come with a filter. You need to buy your own paper filters.

A: I just received my Mr. Coffee. Despite what the "Brand expert" wrote, this model DOES NOT COME with a reusable nylon filter. I have to go out tomorrow and find a box of 5-cup filters.

A: Hello. Thank you for reaching out to us. The Mr. Coffee 5-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker comes with a built-in reusable nylon filter, so you do not have to use paper filters unless you choose to. If you prefer using paper filters, you’ll want a small basket-style filter designed for 4-5 cup coffee makers. If you have any more questions, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Mr. Coffee® Consumer Care

A: You place the tea bags in the carafe. As the carafe fills with hot water, the tea bags steep in the water. The so-called 'Brand expert' just wants you to buy another machine.

A: Of course you can. They just profit off of you buying a specially designed for tea maker.

A: Hello! Thank you for your question. Please be advised that our Mr. Coffee® 5-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker is not designed to make tea. In this case, we may suggest checking on our Mr. Coffee Perfect Brew, Intelligent Coffee Maker, Cold Brew Maker & Tea Brewer.

A: Hello Shawn, Thank you for your inquiry regarding our 5-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker. The product uses small basket-style filters designed for 4–5 cup coffee makers. It is also compatible with the Mr. Coffee 5-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter which is sold separately. If you have more questions, please reach out to us via the "Contact Us" form on our official website.

A: Hello, thank you for your inquiry. A mesh filter from an older 4-cup Mr. Coffee maker may fit a 5-cup model, but compatibility depends on the specific model and brew basket design. If the filter fits securely, the lid closes properly, and water flows without obstruction, you may try using it. However, we cannot guarantee compatibility without the model numbers. Please contact us with the model numbers of both your old 4-cup coffee maker and your current Mr. Coffee brewer, and we'll be happy to verify compatibility. If you have any questions or need help, please reach out via LiveChat or the website contact form, and we're happy to assist. Thank you! Mr. Coffee Consumer Care

A: Hello, thank you for your inquiry. This specific model does not have a built-in “clean” indicator light or an automatic self-cleaning/descaling cycle, as some other Mr. Coffee models do. For this model, you’ll need to watch for signs yourself (like mineral buildup or slower brewing), or follow a regular deep-clean schedule ( monthly) with vinegar or a descaling solution, as recommended for most drip coffee makers.

A: Hello Van, Thank you for your inquiry about our 5-Cup Mini Brew Programmable Coffee Maker. This coffee maker is a basic drip coffee maker and does not feature a strong brew setting. However, it can still produce a strong, flavorful cup of coffee depending on how it’s used. The strength of the coffee is primarily controlled by the coffee-to-water ratio rather than the machine itself, so adjusting the amount of coffee grounds can help you achieve a bolder taste. If you have more questions, please reach out to us via the "Contact Us" form on our official website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am -5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Mr. Coffee Consumer Care.

A: Hello, Thank you for your inquiry about our 5-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker. The coffee maker has a low‑sheen surface, which helps reduce fingerprints and gives it a more matte appearance.

A: Hello, Thank you for reaching out and for your question. For the Mr. Coffee 5-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker Black, the warming plate is designed to keep coffee hot for up to about 2 hours by default for safety and quality reasons. Here are a few tips that may help keep your coffee warmer for longer: 1. Pre-warm the carafe with hot water before brewing. 2. Keep the lid closed on the carafe as much as possible. 3. Transfer coffee to a thermal insulated carafe or thermos after brewing to maintain heat longer. If you need any further assistance, please contact us via our official website, and we will be more than happy to assist you. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9 am -5 pm Eastern Time. Have a nice day!
