Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this Mr. Coffee Maker this past March (2017) which makes my machine about 5 months old. I make a half pot of coffee daily to start my day, and as usual jump in the shower while its brewing. After taking a shower this morning, I smelled smoke in my house, I ran downstairs, dark gray smoke (not steam) was coming out of the large cord hole on the lower backside of the machine. I quickly unplugged the machine and the smoke stopped (meaning this smoldering smoke was electrical in nature) and then ran the machine straight out to my backyard. I am so fortunate that I caught this in time, because if it was unattended and plugged in, it would have gone on fire. I will no longer use this machine, but will keep this unit on hand for a little while in case the Mr. Coffee Company or Amazon would like to pick up this particular Coffee Maker to inspect what may have led to this.
