12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Review

Mr. Coffee Grind-and-Brew GBX23 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker
Mr. Coffee Grind-and-Brew GBX23 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker
The Mr. Coffee Grind and Brew coffeemaker is a 12 cup programmable coffeemaker. Has a removable grinding chamber whic makes it easy to clean. You have the option of using fresh whole beans or pre-ground coffee. Unit comes with a brew-strength selector for adjusting the strength of the coffee to your particular taste buds. A convenient brew and pause function for those of you who cannot wait for the coffee to finish brewing. To provide a high degree of safety you have a 2 hour automatic shut-off.

Unit comes with dual water windows and hides your cord with the cord storage compartment. Both the grinding chamber and the filter basket are removable for easy cleaning in your dishwasher or for hand washing. This coffeemaker measures 12 inches x 9 inches x 13 inches and has a one year limited warranty.


PROS:

  • Brew strength adjusts
  • Built in grinder
  • Removable grinding chamber
  • Removable filter basket
  • Automatic shut-off


    CONS:

  • Coffee has a metallic taste
  • Difficult to clean
  • Needs cleaning after every use of the grinder
  • About 50% of grounds are dry after brewing
  • Grinder capacity is too small
  • Grinder is very noisy
  • Makes weak coffee
  • Cannot adjust the coarseness of the grind

    Summary:
    This coffeemaker is a combination grinder and brewer. It is programmable, you can adjust the brew strength, and it has an automatic shut-off feature for safety. However, there are several negatives. The unit has to be cleaned every time you use the grinder. The grinding chamber isn't large enough to hold enough beans for brewing a strong 12 cups of coffee. Tends to make weak coffee even on the strongest setting.
