The Mr Coffee 'Iced' Single Serve Iced Coffeemaker is a neat countertop addition. Overall, I'm very impressed with the iced coffee that this machine produces, it does chill rapidly, without a fancy chilling system, and doesn't dilute the coffee at all. It really does make iced coffee in just 4 minutes, is nice and compact, and brews flavorful coffee every time that doesn't get watered down in the tumbler. Have to admit that I was skeptical, especially when I didn't see any special 'chilling' component in the machine, or visible way of cooling down the coffee for it to be iced, but with a little trial and error, we managed to replicate pretty successfully the 'coffee house' drinks my wife and I are accustomed to, that tasted just as good, and were chilled nicely. We also tried flavored tea in the machine, however this resulted in very weak flavored tea, so I wouldn't recommend using the machine to make iced tea. MAKING YOUR ICED COFFEE: With the machine unplugged (Mr Coffee recommended that the machine is unplugged when not using it and before filling it up to prevent accidental brewing), take the included 22oz double walled tumbler and fill it up to the water mark (about halfway up the tumbler), lift the lid on the coffeemaker, remove the filter housing and pour that into the water container in the top of the coffeemaker. Replace the filter housing, place the ultra-durable, reusable gold tone coffee filter in the filter housing and add a scoop of your favorite coffee grounds. Close the lid. Take your tumbler and fill it up to the 'ice' line with ice and place it under the spout of the coffeemaker, in the recess. Plug in the machine, slide the 'drip stop' lever to the left and press start. The machine fires into life making hot, yes HOT coffee. This is where I was skeptical, that it was going to a) not be iced coffee, and b) would be watered down. As the hot coffee comes out, it does indeed melt a small hole through the ice, but the added water is negligible, definitely NOT watering down the coffee. Brewing continues, the small hole in the center goes all the way down to the bottom of the tumbler, and helps cool the coffee on the way down. Once finished brewing, slide the 'drip stop' lever to the right, and unplug the machine. Now you can add your creamer or syrup to the coffee, and place the stainless steel straw in your beverage. CLEVER!: One thing you will notice is the instant cool transfer from the ice and the coffee to the straw, and being stainless steel, it remains cold, adding to the sensation of having an ice cold beverage. Very clever! IN SUMMARY: For quick and flavorful iced coffee, this machine is a great addition to your beverage arsenal! My reason for removing one star from the rating is that this machine is somewhat cheap feeling, not very substantial in its build quality, and in my experience, the filter housing took some finagling to get in place each time, it wasn't a sure fit. That would be my only complaint about the machine overall.

We recently moved into a much larger house that has a small kitchenette area on the second story where 3 of the 5 bedrooms are. My 16 year old daughter chose that story to "live on" while my 19 year old son chose the basement... My daughter LOVES Iced Coffee so when I got the chance to get this, it was a no-brainer. Glad I did. Packaging was great, set up was expectedly simple and operation was intuitive. We used freshly ground coffee to experiment. First 4 cups were great. We then used pre-ground. No fault of this unit but not unexpected, the fresh ground was much better. That being said, the pre-ground was not bad, but fresh ground is worth the effort, especially for cold brew. End of the day, I would certainly recommend this to a friend. **PLEASE NOTE: This product was provided to me at no or reduced cost in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

I’m not really a fan of fancy coffees as I prefer the traditional brew. But hey might as well try out what the fuzz about cold coffee. Well, here comes Mr. Coffee’s Single Serve Ice Coffee Maker. The ice coffee maker at first glance is nothing really special as it is really an ordinary coffee maker. What sets it apart that it offers convenience for those wanting iced coffee instead of a regular brew. Included in the package is a tumbler with two reusable straw. And by the way you can use your preferred tumbler. Making iced coffee is fairly a simple matter. (Note that this is different from a cold brew where you have to chill the coffee overnight.) Just simply pour in water that is half of what the tumbler can contain in the coffeemaker and fill the tumbler with ice to the brim. Simply press the start button and coffee will brew and pour to the tumbler. Normally the amount of coffee is exact when you use the included tumbler. But in as you use a different tumbler and feel that coffee will overflow, then there is a lever to stop the flow of coffee. It’s that easy. I’ve never realized that coffee prepared this way. And I don’t really spend much on coffee outside my home, I just realized I can make those fancy cold coffees at home. In fact the box says you can save up to $800 a year on coffee. I’d recommend this iced coffee maker.

I have not found a way to make iced coffee at home that didn't taste watered down and bland. Until now! This machine is the perfect balance of coffee and ice. I don't know how they figured it out but they have the perfect combo in my opinion. The ice stays in the drink for over an hour. I've included a picture of the cup after about an hour and a half. You can still see ice cubes. I like to add a little flavored creamer but the possibilities are endless! You add what you like- or nothing if that's your taste! You will save a ton of money by skipping the drive-through for your morning coffee (and a lot of time!). My daughter has an "iced coffee maker" but it requires a specific type of coffee. I like that this uses whatever I have in the house. A few things I learned- use a paper filter. It's not necessary but helps with clean-up. It does take a few minutes to brew so make sure you leave time and aren't running out the door. It does have a lever to shut off the flow if you need to pull the cup away. I let it sit and drip every last drop out before adding my flavored cream. The lid screws on tightly and you can put your finger over the straw hole and tip it up and down to mix in your "extras". I also like that the straw is metal. It helps keep the drink cold as well! This is my go-to iced coffee every day!

This is one of those things that you didn’t know how much you really needed until you got it. My wife and I drink iced coffee almost daily, usually by picking it up on the way to work from a local spot. We have a traditional hot coffee maker at home, and we also have them at work, but we prefer to pickup the iced variety. Now with our own iced coffee maker we have no need to make that stop on the way to work. It is incredibly convenient to be able to quickly make my coffee when I am about to head out the door, or just to have some in the afternoon as a treat. It is very simple to brew. The included tumbler (22oz) has the marks for the amount of water to add to the brewer, and how much ice to leave in the tumbler for the coffee to drip into. You get an included grinds scooper, and the directions recommend to use one heaping scoop per tumbler of coffee. I usually go 1 1/4 scoops. The entire process from beginning to end takes less than 5 minutes. I’d say it might take some a little more time to actually add the creamer, sugar, etc to their coffee, than to actually brew it. I’d say the only downside for us right now is that it is very difficult to find an extra tumbler. Now, you can use any 22oz tumbler, and there is a marking inside the brewer that also tells you how much water to use, but it would be nice to be able to get an extra tumbler so that my wife and I could each have our own. Other than this slight inconvenience, we absolutely love this brewer. I can definitely see ourselves buying more of these as gifts.

Verdict: It’s a simple coffee machine with a tumbler… but it’s actually a great solution for iced coffee. It’s simple, easy and it just works! Initial impressions. It’s reminds me a single serve coffee machines that you find in hotel rooms. It is small, light, and simple. The tumbler is tall and adequate to accommodate a large iced coffee drink. It has only one button (“Start”) and a switch to shut off coffee flow. Design. While the machine is simple, its design was well thought-out. The tumbler fits perfectly under the spout. There is a convenient switch to close the flow of coffee so that you can stop brewing when you have enough coffee. The compartment where the coffee filter is located comes completely off so you can dump the coffee grounds without dripping water on the floor. Taste. The machine provides basic drip brewing. Quality through brewing will be finite. The quality of your iced coffee will come down what kind of coffee you are using and its freshness. Overall, we are satisfied with the iced coffee results. The drinks taste good because of the easy coffee/water ratio, and ice amount in the tumbler. We use the machine several times per week now. Things I like: - Simple to use and easy to brew a nice iced coffee - Easy brew recipe with precise coffee and ice amounts - Tall tumbler and nice metal straws - It comes with a nice reusable coffee filter This is a simple machine but we like it. It is easy to use and brews enjoyable iced coffee.
