As a person who had never been a real big coffee drinker I bought the Mr. Coffee DRX20 12-Cup Coffeemaker with good intentions. Well some of them came through for me and some of them did not. The first thing I need to explain is that while I am not a big coffee drinker my husband is.

Mr Coffee Maker 12 cup DRX20

I actually bought this machine for my husband before we got married. His more expensive unit had broken down and while I had wanted to be generous I thought I would make him proud if I bought a good quality product and still managed to save money. Well I this case we got what we paid for.

It is a good looking machine and it was affordable so I thought it would be a good product to purchase. I also thought the name Mr. Coffee would certainly only be attached to the best of coffee makers. The biggest problem with this machine is the fact that it leaks.

My husband is no slob but he is not exactly a neat freak either and I was not surprised the first few times that there was water on the counter around and under the coffee machine. However when it started to happen every time he made coffee, I started to fear that I would have to make coffee for him each morning.

I decided one morning after being tired of the mess on the counter, that I would make the coffee. I placed the coffee filter in the basket as it is indicated, tried to figure out how the top filter was supposed to go and got in place the right way.

Well not only did I get water on the counter behind the machine while filling the machine with water, I actually ended up making a much greater mess than my husband ever had.Before I knew it I was standing in brown water in the kitchen. The machine had made to regurgitate the water I had fed it and covered the counter, the kitchen floor, and my feet with dirty looking water.

Well so much for showing him how to make a pot of coffee without making a mess. I have determined that it is impossible to use this machine without making a mess.

Don’t get me wrong I do not think this machine is no good, I just think that it is not exactly the easiest thing to fill. I do have to admit that when it is not in use and the mess has been cleaned up it still looks good on the counter, which honestly is how I bought it in the first place, so it would look good in our kitchen. It also has an easy to use automatic cycle but that does not help the matter of trying to fill the machine up. My husband says the coffee is kept hot, and I have to say I have always been happy about the way it turns itself off, but I just wish it would be easier to fill.
