My husband wanted to get a 12-cup coffee maker for when we have company. Given that we’re still in the dregs of a global pandemic, we almost never have company and we do have a 5-cup coffee maker, so I thought it was kind of unnecessary but my husband is the one who makes coffee when we have company, so his opinion mattered more here.
Well, he had three parameters: cost under $XX, was easy to use (he wanted to press one button for coffee), and that it made 12 cups of coffee.
He chose one but it looked cheap and had horrible reviews, so I took over the search.
My parameters: stainless steel, conical drip, and great reviews.
I went to Consumer Reports and checked out their list of coffee makers and pretty much if I wanted a coffee maker that met all of our parameters, we would have to spend 2-3 times what my husband said he wanted to spend.
There were many stainless steel coffee makers priced at or around $XX, but they tended to have flat brew baskets not conical ones, and conical brewers produce better coffee (IMO). This belief was reflected in the reviews, which tended to bemoan the inferior quality of the coffee (or included the adage “you get what you pay for”).
Then, I came across this coffee maker. It checked every box and had great reviews. There was one review that said everything tasted like plastic, and I have absolutely no idea what they did but the instructions do very clearly state that you need to run water through the machine SEVERAL times before brewing. I ran water through five times, and the coffee tasted great—there was no grease on the top of the coffee and no grinds in the coffee.
The programming function was easy and worked well. The carafe does not drip—was easy to fill up the water reservoir without spilling water. The coffee drips nicely into the carafe (no issues with the carafe being slightly out of place resulting in liquid going everywhere). The machine is sturdy and it looks nice—the plastic is thick, the stainless steel is brushed and easily kept clean, and the carafe is solid enough to withstand accidentally banging it onto the counter (oops). It also has a small footprint and fits nicely under our cabinets.
We have owned more expensive coffee makers that CR rates highly. This is easily as nice as coffee makers twice its price, if not nicer. Heck, our five-cup coffee maker cost three times what this one did, and I cannot tell the difference between coffee brewed in it and brewed in this.
In short, 10/10, would buy again.

Product Description
Large Capacity Carafe
The Mueller Programmable Utra Coffee Maker brews a full pot of coffee for when you have guests, a large household or at a hotel or office. Quickly brew your coffee in 5-7 minutes with a 12 cup carafe capacity (1.8 L).
Permanent Coffee Filter
Stop ordering paper filters! Simply remove the permanent coffee filter to clean it then slide it back in place. Also, with a conical brew filter you get great tasting coffee with the enhanced flow of water through the coffee grounds. Unlike basket filters, you can use less coffee yet produce a stronger brew with a cone filter. Experiment to see what works for you.
Easy View Water Window
Refer to the water gauge on the side of the coffee maker to see how much water is available. Need more? Open the top lid and add cold, fresh tap water with the power off to top it off. The water tank level should not exceed the maximum level marked on the gauge.
Customize Brew Strength
It’s easy to make your coffee stronger. Just press the Strength button once. You’ll see a red indicator light on the control panel when it’s activated. If you prefer regular strength, use the default operation to brew regular coffee. You can also play around with using more or less coffee grounds to get the flavor just the way you like it.
Coffee Brewed on Schedule
Want coffee when you wake up… right before a coffee break… or in time for your big meeting? Delay your coffee brewing with the convenient Delay Brew function. Select the hour and minute buttons to the time you want your coffee to start brewing. Insert your coffee grounds and water, like usual. Full details about how to brew coffee at a set time are in the included manual.
Compact Size
For a large coffee machine that produces up to 12 cups of coffee, it uses only a small footprint on your counter. We think you’ll enjoy the brushed stainless steel and the tapered shape of this kitchen appliance, too.
Anti-Drip System
This coffee maker will automatically stop dripping for 30 seconds when you take the carafe out during the brewing cycle.
Pour a Cup During Brewing
Need your coffee fix right away? We get it. Our coffee maker will pause its drip function for you to pour a quick cup of coffee during the brew process. Just tuck it back on the hot plate for the next person.
This unit automatically keeps your coffee at the ideal temperature. An auto shut-off will turn the appliance off 2 hours after brewing. You can also delay your brew and schedule it to suit your needs with our 24-hour programmable timer.

Works well, some design flaws
I wonder why they decided to use two dents as part of the design at the top when it clearly makes it look like the unit is damaged/dented. It's off-putting on an otherwise beautiful looking machine. Also the finishing around the heat pan is not clean. Lots of broken plastic and/or paint that was easily chipped off. When wiping it off it scratched the plastic finish. A hair could scratch it! Lastly it's very difficult to pour the last of the liquid out of the carafe unless you turn it past vertical. However, no dripping from the spout when pouring, which I think is more important than getting the last bits of, but just thought I would mentionOther than that, the machine brewed quickly for the amount it can make. The parts fit tightly, and it doesn't look cheap. Fair for the price
