One of the primary reasons (and uses) for this coffee pot has been the brew later feature. It allows me to prepare my coffee for brew in the morning and gets me up. My time display has been disappearing over the past few months and now it is impossible to tell what time it reads. I have not even had this pot for 2 years and the issue started happening shortly after one year. It’s kind of silly to have to purchase a new pot just because the time display doesn’t work but since this is something I use regularly, I feel disappointed to say I may have to. I can’t say with certainty that it will be another Mr. Coffee pot.
