One of the things you need to do, is clean it out with vinegar and water at least once a month. Reason: Cleans out any mineral / hard water deposits.
Run vinegar through it once, as if you were making coffee. Then run water through it in the same fashion.

It’s a good thing to do (clean with vinegar and water), the taste of the coffee will be better and above that, the machine will be longer working because you clean it very well :-)
This reminds me of the phrase : “Oh I get up and make myself some coffee” ;-)

Mine is from the brand Philips, it’s a good one and still working like it was new :-)

Philips is a good brand, can’t go wrong with that, or there is another good make called Krupps... (I think it is a German make) they are good also.. but a little expensive here in the UK, so don’t know what they are like in Sweden!

MR Coffee...hmm, never heard of that brand. Is there also a Mrs/Ms Tea ;-) ?

No, I haven’t heard of that. But Mr. Coffee’s fairly inexpensive and is a timer, etc (at least in the States).
There’s always

My advice buy a good make, I don’t know where you are in the world so perhaps pop to your local electric place and check out what they sell.... but avoid the cheap ones... I bought several cheap ones over the years and I have a good one now, but I am too lazy to use it.... :)
