Part of my life blood in the mornings, especially before starting my work day, is coffee. One of the most difficult things to do is to find that perfect coffee maker or the best coffee maker for you. In the past I have always used an individual cup coffee maker. Although that is fine when it is just me, I like to have more morning coffee available when family and friends come over. Also, is it just me or does the amount of coffee go up with the amount of kids you have? I have always been a one cup of coffee person, now multiple is required. I also like to enjoy decaf in the evenings to wind down after a long day.
The problem I had is that I have not actually had a coffee maker that brews more than one cup since I was first married. The real truth? The only coffee maker we had that brewed a full pot of coffee was a free gift at a bank for opening up an account. How sad is that?
I parted with it many years ago because it was just not working for me well anymore. After so long being used daily, it was time to let go of that coffee pot. At the time, I also had coffee available in the break room at work, so that’s where I usually would go for coffee. Now, my break room is the kitchen, and I need an unlimited amount of coffee available.
This past week, I picked up this Mr. Coffee® Optimal Brew 10-Cup Coffee maker at Walmart along with Millstone® coffee.
I was immediately won over by the stainless steel carafe and the water filtration system. This was the first time I have seen these in something other than glass in regards to the carafe. I actually really love that they are not glass, the stainless steel does not get hot like glass would on the outside.
Now, the best feature? The timer! I have never been able to set my coffee to brew for me at the exact time I want it brewed. At night before bed, I set it to go off at exactly the time I’ll walk in the door from taking the kids to school. Then, I enjoy my coffee while I start working for the day.
Perfection!
After I brewed a few cups, I realized there is a Pause n’ Serve Feature which means you can pause the brewing to pour a cup of coffee then continue it to finish up brewing.
I served up my first cup of coffee with Millstone® Chocolate Velvet coffee, it actually made our entire house smell like chocolate. It made me want to eat my house, that sounds weird though…but it did.
The coffee has a wonderful rich and velvety taste, it was smooth and perfect for my morning cup of coffee.
This just gets better because guess what? I am GIVING AWAY one of these Mr. Coffee® Optimal Brew 10-Cup Coffee Makers and Millstone® Chocolate Velvet Coffee Packages! Exciting, right?
Are you ready to win? Enter now!
Good Luck!

Comments & Reviews
I’d love the timer! I hate stumbling into the kitchen bleary eyed and having to try to set up my coffeepot.
I need this 🙂 as a mom of an almost one year old I feel like I’m running on fumes most days. We currently don’t have a coffee maker, and I get overwhelmed looking at them. Way to many options for something so simple. The timer would also be wonderful. She usually gets me up at 5am, and having a coffee ready would be awesome.
I really love that the coffee maker makes a full pot of coffee instead of just a single cup!!
I would love this coffee maker because our single cup Keurig doesn’t quite keep up with my husband’s high demand for coffee, especially during his week off!
I so need this for my guy! While I dont drink coffee, it would certainly help me out in the morning to already have the coffee made and ready to go for him!
I would love this! I love a good coffee maker and ours is on the way out sadly 🙁 I’ve never seen this one before!
I would love to win this!!!! it’s perfect for that single cup for on the go. Coffee doesn’t last long in our house, but this is perfect for one to brew their cup and go off to work and then the other can get up brew their cup and head out the door, since we leave the house about 2 hours apart. no more cold coffee or having to reheat if too much was made!
Looks fantastic, I’m an appliance junkie lol.
This coffee maker sounds AWESOME! I would love to be able to give this to my coffee loving MIL for Mother’s Day!
I would love to win this coffee maker! I use a single cup coffee maker during the week, but use a multi-cup coffee maker on the weekend when the hubby and I are both home in the mornings 🙂
I need a new coffee maker and this one looks sweet!
I like the water filtration feature
Great giveaway!!
I’ve been through so many coffeemakers on the quest for the perfect one. I’d love to try this one out!
I would love to have this coffee maker. It looks really awesome.
We would love to wake up to a pot of coffee in the mornings!
This would be perfect in our house. We have a cup with breakfast then one in our travel mugs. Thanks for the giveaway. The timer is a great feature. The one on our coffee pot never seems to work.
We have had ours for a LONG time, we need one with a timer! That coffee sounds amazing!
I haven’t seen one of these–but I LOVE coffee and look forward to trying it!
I’m ready to upgrade from my single-serve coffee maker. This looks perfect!
I love the idea of this coffee pot! I have always been a heavy coffee drinker…I don’t know why I have never considered buying a coffee pot with a sealed, stainless steal carafe. I would LOVE to win this! 😉 My husband leaves far earlier than me in the morning and brews the coffee at 5am. By the time my daughter and I wake at 7am the coffee is cold. This would be fantastic!
I would love that kind of carafe and coffee maker, plus the filter is a great extra too

I could really use a new coffeemaker, and I really like the stainless carafe.
I like the stainless steel carafe, would be perfect for my days home with my 3 children!!! i need lots of coffee
I would love the pause feature. That would be fantastic as I work from home and sometimes in a rush and with the steel carafe will the keep the coffee warmer and at temperature so when I take my breaks I will have fresh coffee and my husband can grab some on his way out the door as well without having to wait.
I’ve been wanting a new coffee pot and this looks so fun! Coffee is necessary every morning for me. Such happiness it brings! 😉
I Love Coffee And Need To Upgrade My Coffee Maker, This Looks Perfect!
This Coffee Maker looks amazing! The Chocolate Velvet is calling my name!
Looks like a very interesting coffee pot! I drink at least a pot of coffee a day, and the last several years have went through just about every pot you can think of. The pause feature didn’t work well on any of them, so that feature sounds fantastic all by itself! I can only imagine how much warmer the coffee stays with the thermal carafe too!
I am a coffee addict and we have such an old tired machine. We need a new one!!
My moms coffee maker makes this awful noise and she refuses to buy a new one. I would love to win this for her.
Thanks!
My old coffee maker stopped working a week ago, I could definitely use a new one.
My coffee maker broke and I really need my coffee in the mornings!!!
Have a one cup machine that we use daily but need something for when we have company. Love good coffee but I am now restricting myself to decaf.
I love the look of this coffee maker. It is sleek and different. Thanks for the chance to enter.
I love the sleek design and I have heard great things about the model. Also, LOVE a good cup of coffee – makes everything just that much better!
Because my coffee maker is terrible!
I’d love to win! I love Mr. Coffee,they make great coffeemakers at great prices! Also,Millstone is one of my favorite coffees! I grind the whole beans myself for a great cup of coffee! 🙂
Beautiful kitchen appliance. Would love to display it in my kitchen.
I want to win because I need a new coffee maker
I need a new coffee maker bad………..
I’d like to win it for my daughter – hers is terrible.
Would love to win this, I also need something for when it’s more than just me needing coffee.
I have never had a coffee pot! I am just starting to drink coffee.
This would be perfect for my family! We need a new coffee maker!
Is love the timer for the mornings!
I have been wanting an actual coffee maker, but budgeting for the family makes it difficult to justify buying a new one when our Keurig works fine. Now that my daughter is almost 2 and I watch a nearly one year old everyday, I definitely need more than one cup of coffee 🙂
It looks like a great coffee maker! I hate cooking too btw.
Would love to have a new coffee pot. The one’s I buy never work correctly and I am always returning them.
I would love this coffee maker because my coffee maker has started to let the grounds drip into the pot.
I would love this so I could make fresh coffee.
My coffee maker quit working Sunday and I would love to have this nice one, so I could quit drinking instant all the time.
Chocolate Velvet sounds yummy!
My coffee maker is getting run down. I have fibromyalgia and I swear sometimes coffee is the only thing that keeps human and not zombie when I’m having a bad pain day. And that coffee sounds amazing.
Mr. Coffee is a great choice for a coffee maker…love the stainless steel carafe. If it is air-tight, the coffee will certainly stay fresher, longer. That’s a blessing in itself! We love coffee in our home 🙂
I would love to win this awesome giveaway because I do not have a coffee maker at this time and this one looks amazing. I would also love to try the Chocolate velvet coffee! Sounds so yummy!
this looks like a well made coffee pot!
I would love it because it sounds like it makes great coffee!
I LOVE the timer on the coffee maker. As a teacher, I want my coffee ready when I come into my classroom! This is perfect!
I am a stay at home mom and on the go all the time. This coffee pot would be wonderful
I am in desperate need of a programmable coffee pot. I don’t have access to a coffee pot at work anymore and QT every morning is getting expensive!
We would love to win this as we enjoy a morning cup of coffee together and it is an essential part of our day.
This is a great giveaway. I had been thinking of getting a new coffee maker!
I LOVE coffee. Looks like an awesome coffee pot!
I really love that the coffee maker makes a full pot of coffee instead of just a single cup!!

I love the timer!
I love the stainless steel carafe and the water filtration system !
Love it hope I can win !!
I would love the coffee maker because mine is on it’s last legs and the coffee because I want my house to smell like chocolate.
I love the sleek, stainless steel look and the timer would be amazing to wake up to fresh brewed coffee.
I drink coffee all day .. and definitely need a new coffee maker …
With a new baby in our house, a new coffee maker would be heaven-sent!
That coffee machine would look so good on my counter, and I would surely put it to use.
Way better than what I have right now
“it actually made our entire house smell like chocolate”? Yep, I officially need to try this coffee. Perhaps I need to be careful, it could turn my chocolate-crazied little guys into coffee drinkers;) #client
I want one of these!
I would love to win this. My coffee maker is super old, the on button is really hard to push & I’m just sure one day it will stop working altogether.
LOVE coffee! And this looks like a great coffeemaker! 🙂
I’m excited about the timer. I would live to have coffee ready when I wake up!
stainless steel finish looks so elegant in the kitchen ! love it so much !
Such an amazing coffee maker it’ll help me a lot specially in the morning when I’m in a hurry to catch up
my work !!
I need a coffee maker that has a timer like this one ! Hope I can win !
I used to have a coffee maker with a stainless carafe that I bought at Starbucks. Unfortunately, it broke after like 10+ years of use. That carafe kept the coffee so fresh and tasty! That’s what I would be excited about and having a timer on the coffee again…. Oh and the water filtration (our water sucks). Lol
I’d love the timer such a great feature !!
I love coffee so much and I drink 3 cups per day ! hope I can win this adorable stainless steel finish machine !
I am a stay at home mom and my hubby works full-time, we need our coffee in the am and have been without for a few days now, it’s sucks!!! Our coffee maker we got when we first got together a little over 5 years ago was a tiny 4 cup coffee maker which was barely enough for him to fill his coffee mug and me, my cup. Please, please choose me!!! We can’t afford to get a new one for another month when the next bill check rolls around and we will be able to put limited funds toward one…. But yeah, so cool that you are doin this, either way! Thanks for giving me something to be excited about this morning, and love the blog/page!!!! 8)
Please pick me 😀

Our coffeemaker has been broken and we haven’t bought another one yet. This would be perfect!

Also I’ve heard from others that this coffee is great.

I love coffee and the coffee maker I have now is ancient!
I don’t have a coffeemaker so I only drink coffee at work. Would be nice to enjoy coffee at home on the weekends.
We love coffee at our house. This would be so well used !
I’d love the timer! I don’t always have time to brew before I go to work. With the timer, I could walk out with a fresh cup from home. 🙂
I would love to win this because our coffee maker is old. I also love Millstone coffee.
I would love to win this coffee maker and coffee because my power button on my coffee maker broke. I really need a new one! I also love trying new flavors of coffee!

Ours now leaks all over the counter. Makes such a mess. Thank you for the chance!
