The New Love of My Life...My New Mr.Coffee coffee maker



So it is no secret that I love coffee and now that I am 60 miles from the nearest Starbucks, making my own coffee is a necessity not an option. Before moving I did downgrade my coffee shop visits, so making my own coffee has always been something that I have done, but now I am really trying to do it well. I know that Mr. Coffee coffee makers don't sound like the best buy out there, but honestly I love this coffee maker. I have done many types of coffee makers in the past; the french press, the percolator, the cappuccino machine, etc.. but I needed something quick and pretty mindless for the early mornings. The vintage look and red color are what attracted me to this model and type in the beginning, but I had an old Mr. Coffee coffee maker that held up pretty well and made great coffee before, so I felt confident that this would probably be a good investment. I purchased it on E-bay, so after selling a few items of clothing that I had cleared from my closet during spring cleaning, I got it for almost nothing. I believe however, that it retails for about $125. Now I know it isn't a fancy espresso or cappuccino machine, but honestly I am not a barista and I just want a good cup of hot coffee ready for me when I need to crack my eyes open and this does it's job, and does it well. In conclusion, this coffee maker makes 12 cups of wonderful coffee (filtered and all) and the look of it is splendid, I could not be more pleased. More caffeine please.
