Mr. Coffee 5 Cup Switch Coffee Maker Black: Small Drip Coffee Machine, Electric, Paper Filter, 25 oz Capacity

A: Agreed, poor safety design.

A: If you get it from the Bezos store, the switch is on the front. Same brand, same size, slightly different design and more expensive there, but I prefer the front switch.

A: Meanwhile, just place something reflective behind it to save yourself the trouble of turning the machine around.

A: Hello, thank you for your response. If you have a Mr. Coffee 5‑Cup Switch Coffee Maker BVMC‑PC05BL2-NP, it uses small basket‑style filters for 4–6 cups (or its included permanent nylon filter), not the larger 8–12 cup filters. So your 8–12 cup paper filters will very likely be too big; they won’t sit properly in the basket. For best results, you should use: #1 or #2 cone filters (depending on the basket shape) OR The Mr. Coffee 5-cup basket-style paper filters (specifically made for small coffee makers) If you have anymore questions, please reach out to us directly via our official Mr. Coffee website contact-us page, and we will be happy to assist you. Thank you and have a good day! Mr. Coffee Consumer Care

A: The 8 - 12 cup basket filters are too big & the 5 cup or junior sized basket filters fit this model. I own this coffee maker.

A: Having the same issue and have checked the basket and carafe position to make sure that’s not the problem.

A: Hello Daisy. Thank you for reaching out to Mr. Coffee. We are sorry to hear about your disappointment. For a possible fix, please check if the filter basket is inserted correctly and the carafe is properly placed on the warming plate. Also, try using standard coffee grounds and avoid overfilling the coffee basket. Lastly, make sure not to remove the carafe from the warming plate for more than 30 seconds while brewing. If this doesn't resolve your issue, we'd kindly request that you contact us directly so we can determine the best resolution. Have a good day! Mr. Coffee Consumer Care

A: A simple "No" Answers this question, instead of this novel-length soliloquy

A: Hello! Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with your Mr. Coffee® 5‑Cup Switch Coffee Maker. We understand how important consistent brewing performance is, and we’re glad you brought this to our attention. The spray arm on this model is designed to remain centered during brewing, so it’s normal for it not to sweep across the grounds the way some older units may have. That said, the majority of the grounds should still become evenly saturated as the brew cycle progresses. If you’re noticing that a large portion of the grounds stay dry until halfway through the cycle, a few quick checks may help: We can provide you with helpful Tips: 1. Ensure the filter basket is seated properly and fully closed, as even slight misalignment can affect water flow. 2. Use the recommended paper filter size to prevent bunching or blocking the spray pattern. 3. Avoid overfilling the filter with grounds, which can restrict water distribution. 4. After brewing, check whether the grounds look evenly saturated overall — some early dryness is normal, but they should be fully wet by the end of the cycle. If you continue to see uneven saturation or feel the brew quality is being affected, we’d be happy to take a closer look. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly via our official website, so our team can review your case and assist with the best possible resolution. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9 am -5 pm Eastern Time. Mr. Coffee Consumer Care Team
