If I want to wake up to a hot cup of coffee, can I set this coffeemaker the night before and it will brew at, say 6 AM?

Yes - but unless Mr. Coffee has improved its quality control, this coffee maker is likely to leak and subsequently quit completely. See the reviews on Amazon. (The most recent review mentioning leakage was a month ago, so I suspect it continues to be an unreliable product.) Mine leaked a little from the very beginning, but not enough to be unusable. However it stopped completely after a year.

The coffee maker can be pre-programmed to turn on at a specified time. It has the ability to be set to stay on for 1,2,3, or 4 hours and can be set to regular or bold strength.

I set up the water the night before, then put coffee into it in the AM. (I am a coffee snob that has to have fresh ground beans!) this is the best coffee maker!!! Ready in less than ten minutes for a full pot.

Setting the time was easy, be sure the brew sett time is not what you're trying to set, I initially made that mistake. Like my old daddy use to say, if you don't get the first time read the instructions. Goodluck.

Yes, you can I have used it that way. all you have to do is turn it off after it brews...don't add ice so once the automatic blend cycle starts it's only coffee. Hope that helps.

When you first plug it in, set the time of day using the hour and minute buttons. To program, push the program button and set the coffee maker for the time you want it to start. Make sure you don't set it up for PM instead of AM. When the pot is programmed, the button will be lit. If you are using ground coffee, you will also need to push the "grind off" button. If using whole beans you only need to push the program button until lit. The time will remain programmed unless you change it, so if you want coffee the same time every morning you only need to push the program button the night before.

When 'on', all Keurig coffee-makers maintain hot water in the internal reservoir (not the whole tank). This commercial version is programmable, so it can be turned on and off at preset times (your choice), and set to turn off automatically a set time after the last cup was brewed. We find ours to work well and seems as energy efficient as most similar alternatives.

Absolutely. I usually never brew overnight but definitely use hot hot nearly boiling water to brew.

Yes it does! And it's pretty easy to set up, too. Taken from the "Use and Care Guide:""While holding PROGRAM button, press HOUR and MINUTE buttons until desired brewing time is reached. Once desired brewing time has been reached, release PROGRAM and current time is displayed. Press (and release) PROGRAM again to activate automatic brew."

I agree that the coffee is not really hot enough. The solution is to heat the pot with hot tap water or even a hot spot before starting the coffee. However, this doesn't work if you put the coffee together the night before and want to simply push start in the morning. Than being said, slightly cooler coffee beats old and burnt any day.

No. Each night you set it (one button push if you're keeping the same time) to go off the next morning or whenever. If you don't want it to go off on Saturday morning, just don't push that button the night before.

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.

I have never done this, but I assume that it will brew it just like it would water. If this happens, I would suggest cleaning the machine thoroughly. Just fill up the back with a couple ounces of white vinegar and a couple ounces of water and brew it again. That should take care of any build up that happens because of the coffee being brewed in the back. It will make your room smell like you spilled a jug of vinegar in it, but that goes away quickly. I have used this method for every coffee maker I have ever owned, whenever they get clogged or dirty, so I know it's safe and effective.

I just got one for Christmas and I would say no you cannot set it to auto brew in AM (at least the directions did not mention it and I cant seem to figure it out if it does), what you can do is set the machine to turn on at a specific time so its ready to brew, you still have to put the K coffee in the brewer and press the button to brew. The point being it only takes like a minute to make a cup, most coffee machines with timers make an entire 10 cup or so pot of coffee that will take much longer to brew

The coffee maker does not beep after it's brewed the coffee. It just sits there and waits for you to drink what the timer activated. But I'd suggest not setting the time to brew the coffee an hour before you're going to get up or it will be cool by the time you do plan to drink it!
