Works great
I love this coffee maker. I haven’t had any issues with it at all. It’s easy to use because of how simply the display is. I love that it’s easy to clean too.
Drip Coffee Lovers!!
I am a big fan of having an entire pot of coffee in the morning. This one can be used easily, I prep it the night before and it is ready to go at the time I choose. I wake up to the fresh smell of coffeee.

Program Mainstay coffeemaker and go.
Bought the Mainstay programmable coffeemaker for our work we had to program our coffee so it would be ready for us to have our own good made coffee from home.
Great coffee maker
This is a great coffeemaker for Max of 12 cups. You can program when you want your coffee to be ready. Just not good when you loose power.
Gets the job done
I found the design quite user-friendly: the water reservoir is easy to fill, the carafe pours well, and cleanup is simple. For the price, it delivers good value. There are a couple of trade-offs: the materials are basic, so it doesn’t have the premium feel of high-end models, and the “boldness” option isn’t as refined as specialty brewers. Also, if you’re partial to ultra-precise temperature control or advanced features (like built-in grinders or WiFi timing), this isn’t going to match that. Overall, for everyday use, morning routines, or shared environments, it’s dependable and gets the job done.

Og coffee machine
Simple to use, old school drip coffee that tastes good every time. In a pinch, this no fuss machine works great. I have it as a back up and never have any issues with it.
Great coffee maker
I love this simple easy to use programmable coffee maker. I had a Keurig but switched back to this coffee maker because I like how hot it keeps my coffee while in the 12 cup glass pot. My other coffee maker 12 cup pot never kept my coffee hot. This coffee maker is super easy to program and brews a delicious 12 cups of coffee.

Does the job
I bought this in a pinch, when my mom came to my house and NEEDED her coffee. For the price, it did everything I wanted to. Nothing special, really simple, and easy to use. The coffeemaker feels a little flimsy, but not to the point you're worried about it breaking. Does the job for people that want some coffee, not for people that have high needs when it comes to their coffee.
