Tired of lining up on queue every morning at Dunkin Donuts for your daily serving of fresh brewed coffee? Then it’s high time you get your own coffee maker. The Mr. Coffee DRX5 4-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker is a pretty basic and inexpensive choice.

With the recent global economic crisis, there’s more reason for you to invest in your own coffee maker instead of buying coffee elsewhere. The Mr. Coffee DRX5 4-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker is a practical choice. It retails for $20-$25 and comes with the basic features a coffee maker needs to have.

Mr. Coffee DRX5 4-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker comes with a  pause and serve feature that allows you to get coffee even if the machine has not finished brewing. This is feature is ideal for people who cannot wait to have their coffee or those who want their coffee to be a little bit warmer.

This unit is also ideal for small sized kitchen counters as it is light and space saving. To keep your counter top neatly organized, this model also comes with a cord storage. This will ensure you get to plug your coffee maker instead of  the toaster or the microwave or you’ll be surprised the next morning that your coffee is not yet ready.

The delay brew feature lets you set up your brew 24 hours in advance. So if you will be waking up the same time the next day, make sure you program your Mr. Coffee DRX5 4-Cup for your fresh brew next morning.

It is well liked as well for its wide water level window. No need to duck your head closer to check if there’s still enough water. The water level is visible at a distance given the size of the window.

On the other hand, this may not be a good choice if you are always in a hurry. If you were unable to set it to brew the next day, you may find yourself lining up on queue again to get your coffee because it takes a longer time to brew compared to its other contemporaries.

The carafe drips however way you pour your coffee, which may not be that much of a big deal. Nonetheless, you still have to wipe off the coffee drippings and that translates to additional paper towel consumption. Unfortunately, the timer has to be reset as it may go off once in a while.
