Got this 8/10/2020 and was  so pleased.  The 2 hour cutoff suits my needs better, and the carafe does not spill when I pour.  I actually use this for tea, not coffee.  However, after a while I noticed it sometimes cut off way before the 2 hour, and sometimes even while brewing..  Very frustrating. Never had this happen with a coffee/tea maker before. Otherwise it is a great Mr Coffee.
