I bought this coffee maker today, but the box had been opened before and resealed, and I don't find the manual inside. There is any way to find a manual online for this model? Also I'm wondering if is coming with a permanent filter like:"Coffee GTF2-1 Basket-style Gold Tone Permanent Filter", or it has only that plastic bin for paper filters!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I thought you were joking. It seemed too simple. But it worked!!!! I woke up this morning to the buzzer on my coffee pot telling me it was ready!!!

Where can I find the owners manual for this product? Mine manual was missing, and I cannot find it on the Mr. Coffee website.

Perfect...thanks for the answer..I have struggled for one week by hitting all the buttons!!!!!!! You cannot find the answer on the Mr. Coffee website.

only paper filters, no permanent filter included other than a pseudo-large-coin shaped 'chlorine filter' that I don't use.

Yes - standard "delay brew" setting works pretty well. Even maintained its time and settings through a brief power bump recently when nothing else did, so I guess kudos for that.

I don't think there is a way to turn the warmer on after the two hours. I've been removing the carafe and running 2 cups (the minimum for a carafe) into a small pot and discarding this water. This "resets" the clock and I just put my carafe of coffee back on the warmer. Yes, fresh coffee is indeed better, but in certain circumstances its nice to be able to have the warmer on for an extended period of time.

The "timer" is not for tracking time. Your means of control is the amount of beans you place in the hopper. If there is "time" left on the timer you let it run out (you can shift the hopper "dial" so that the grinder stops while the timer runs down. If the timer runs out and there are beans still in the hopper, you reset the timer for your best guess at finishing the grinding. For a 12-cup drip, start with 2/3 of a cup of whole coffee beans which will yield about the same amount of grounds. The next time adjust the amount of beans based on your taste prefernce - more beans for a stronger coffee, less for a milder coffee. If you want to keep a voulme of beans in the hopper (I dont recommend this as the hopper is not air tight which is best for storing whole beans) you will have to experiment with what setting to use on the timer as it is not calibrated for "time" ie seconds, or minutes, etc.

Just hold the start button down for about 4-5 seconds - that will clear the brew time and will then show the time of day ! Hope this helps you....

First step is to set the clock to the proper time of day (make sure am/pm is correct). With left thumb, press and hold "Program" button. When the clock starts flashing, set the desired start time for brewing using your right hand and the hour and minute buttons. Release programming button. To activate auto start, press program button once, green light will display. When auto time arrives, green light will go out, blue light (right) will illuminate, and coffee maker will start.

Good question...The only way I know how is to manually turn it off then turn it right back on. Each time you do the 2 hours will start over. That way you can keep the coffee hot as long as you want to. Hope this answers your question.

No coffee roaster is really as simple as pressing a button. We have owned several and you always have to watch color and listen for first and second crack depending on how dark you like your coffee. If you do not understand the terms in that last sentence then some online reading is in order. I find with the Behmor that roasting times vary based on type of beans, batch size of course and vary substantially between summer and winter roasting. The good news is that once you master roasting you will be drinking some of the best coffee you have ever had!

The carafe did not show up yet. I expect it today (12-1-08). I will repost again based on its arrival. My wife and I shopped for a new pot just in case this does not work and WOW, there is a lot of moving parts on the other models. Mr. Coffee was rated by consumers as a good buy but the people who have bought and used the unit said it is a terrible design. Cuisinart has way to many cheap feeling plastic parts. The newer Melitta unit was also rated low. I sure hope my older Melitta holds out for a while.

It helps if you turn on the system 5 or 10 minutes before running the first cup. If I'm going to add cream, I put the cream in the cup, microwave 15 seconds then run my coffee.

Just got mine yesterday. Agree with weighing the coffee. I use 40g of French Roast for a liter of french press. Setting the timer to 6 and using the next to last setting, it ground the beans in about half that time. Turning the bean hopper to the no-grind position, the timer zipped right down to zero without running for the remaining time.

Yes, I set it every evening for 5:00 a.m. the next morning for my husband and he has coffee waiting for him when he gets up at 5:15! A blue dot lights up on the panel so you know the auto is set, and you can check the set time with a push of a button! Works perfectly every time!

The only solution to this problem that I can think of is that you may have another setting on at the same time. For example, if you've set the auto brew to brew at a specific time in the future, and you've pushed that button, telling it to brew at that future time, it won't brew if you press the brew button. You must cancel the other command for it to obey the brew command. Hope this helps. I really like this coffee maker. I've had it for about a year now and I haven't had any problems.

No this is not the norm. It seems like your settings were too high or your timing clock needs to be adjusted down to less time for that particular batch. I burned beans in the beginning because I had my machine set on high, which was the factory setting, and the beans cooked too fast. I now leave my machine on medium and adjust the timer according to what I am roasting, and never had that problem again. And all my roasts are just right according to my taste.

1. Make sure clock has been set to correct time of day. 2. Press PRoGRAM (PRoG) button; the AUTo light will flash several times. 3. digital clock displays 12:00 or previous preset delayed brewing start time. Note: If setting is not changed before AUTo light stops flashing, the clock will revert to the correct time of day. You must press the PRoG button again and re-enter your desired brew time. 4. To change time, press HoUR button until desired correct hour appears on display. Repeat with MINUTe (MIN) button within 5 seconds. 5. Press AUTo button to activate delayed brewing. AUTo indicator light will illuminate on digital display screen. 6. To check preset delayed brew time, press PRoG button and display will show time selected for delayed brewing to begin. Press AUTo button to return to delayed Brewing cycle. 7. To cancel AUTo brew, press oN/oFF button to brew coffee, or press oN

The little black levers (first row) around the entire time dial get pushed down for the time you want the timer to be "on". I usually set the time to the current time (turn the dial) and then push down the black "levers" starting with one or two before the current time (this allows the unit to start up once it is plugged in). It's difficult to push just one lever down at a time so push a few down and then pull back those you don't want. Hope that helps

They both brew at the same time. There is no timer or delay function. I found it most useful if you want to brew two types of coffee (ex. regular and decaf). Note: do not fill it with water the night before, it will leak out over night. Other than that, I loved it.
