Verdict

Delivers hot brew water, but the cycle is slower and the carafe handling is particularly messy. A passable low-cost pick if you value heat over clean pouring and top-tier extraction.

    Mueller brews reasonably hot coffee with extraction in the low six hundreds on TDS tests, giving a passable but not standout cup compared with more efficient drip machines.
