Mr. Coffee Today

Recently, the Mr. Coffee product development team altered how a drip coffee maker works with their new Optimal Brew. This coffee maker does not use the previously mentioned traditional method of routing the water over a heating coil under the warming plate that Marotta, Abel, and Schulze invented so long ago. Instead, a small flash boiling chamber flash heats the water to deliver the water to the beans within the ideal temperature range of 195-200 degrees F. Heating the water this way allows 10 cups to be brewed in generally less than eight minutes depending on the barometric pressure. Once brewed the coffee stays warm in a thermal carafe without requiring a heating plate which could potentially burn the coffee. This coffee maker engineered and designed by TEAMS Design USA and the Jarden team, won a Red Star Award in 2010 and an Appliance Magazine EID Award in 2011.

More recently, Mr. Coffee has licensed the Keurig K-cup technology to introduce a line of single serve hot beverage machines. Also recently introduced, the Mr. Coffee Cafe Latte brews coffee as well as whips in steamed milk in one step.

More than 600,000 coffeemakers, Chinese-made Mr. Coffee Single Cup Brewing System models, are being voluntarily recalled in the United States and Canada. A brewing malfunction can release steaming water and grounds. More than 61 injuries, including facial and hand burns, have been reported.
