Mr. Coffee

Mr. Coffee is a manufacturer of automatic drip coffee makers, espresso makers, and iced tea makers. Mr. Coffee is a registered trademark of Newell Brands, an American worldwide manufacturer and distributor of consumer and commercial products. The Mr. Coffee brand was founded in 1970, but the first Mr. Coffee brand drip coffeemaker was not made available for home use until 1972.

Prior to the invention of automatic drip coffeemakers, coffee was primarily brewed in coffee percolators, which is a type of pot used to brew coffee by cycling the boiling liquid through coffee grounds using gravity until the desired coffee strength is produced. Percolators often produced burned and bitter flavors in coffee, so the Mr. Coffee machines were designed to produce a more uniform brewing temperature. With the help of baseball player Joe DiMaggio, over one million Mr. Coffee coffeemakers were sold by 1974.

More than 600,000 Chinese-made Mr. Coffee Single Cup Brewing System models were recalled in 2012 in the United States and Canada. In these systems, a brewing malfunction could release hot water and grounds, causing burns to users.

Mr. Coffee manufactures several different sizes of coffeemakers, including single cup, four cup, five cup, eight cup, and 12 cup makers. Mr. Coffee coffee, espresso, and tea makers include the name “Mr. Coffee” printed in cursive font on the front of the machines.
