The current Mr. Coffee 6-cup coffee maker is the At-Home Pour Over Brewer and Kettle, an all-in-one system that brews 2, 4, or 6 cups using a temperature-controlled gooseneck kettle and integrated scale.
The “Mr. Coffee 6-cup” label points to a specific product today: the At-Home Pour Over Brewer and Kettle (model #31160397). It is not a standard drip machine with a warming plate. Instead, it combines an electric gooseneck kettle, a see-through dripper, a carafe, and a built-in scale and timer into one countertop unit. The system guides you through a pour-over workflow rather than a single-button brew cycle, which changes how the coffee tastes and how you use it.
The At-Home Pour Over Brewer: Specs and What Comes in the Box
The Mr. Coffee At-Home Pour Over Brewer is designed for pour-over enthusiasts who want precision without buying separate gear. The box includes the electric kettle with a gooseneck spout, a glass carafe, a dripper with an integrated scale and timer, and a user manual. Filters are not included; it requires number 2 C1 pointed filters, sold separately.
Key specs from the product listing include a 1500-watt kettle, a 6-cup maximum capacity (with 2-cup and 4-cup brew options), and dimensions of 10.2 inches deep by 18.75 inches wide by 9.7 inches tall. The unit weighs about 7.35 pounds and is built from plastic and stainless steel in black. There is no warming plate — the pour-over method works best when the coffee is served immediately after brewing.
, and the temperature-controlled kettle heats to the optimal brewing temperature.

How to Use the Mr. Coffee Pour-Over Brewer
Using this brewer differs from a standard drip machine. The workflow is: add coffee grounds to the dripper fitted with a number 2 C1 pointed filter, then add water to the kettle. The integrated scale prompts you for the correct amounts, so weighing is automatic. The temperature-controlled kettle heats the water to the optimal pour-over temperature. After the water reaches temperature, the on-screen guide tells you to start the pour and includes a bloom pause — a short wait after the initial pour that allows gas to escape from the grounds. After the bloom, continue pouring the remaining water through the grounds into the carafe.
Because there is no warming plate, serve the coffee immediately after brewing. Extra heat tends to make pour-over coffee taste bitter, so do not transfer the carafe to a separate warmer. If you want to keep coffee hot for an extended period, pour it into a preheated thermos instead.
What This Brewer Is Not
The 6-cup pour-over brewer is not the same as Mr. Coffee’s older drip machines. Search results often turn up the TF6 5-Cup Switch Coffeemaker, a 4-cup hospitality model, or various espresso and single-cup products — none of which are the 6-cup pour-over unit. The pour-over system uses a different filter (pointed, not flat-bottom), has no warming plate, and follows a manual pour-over workflow rather than an automatic drip cycle. If you see a Mr. Coffee machine listed as “6-cup” without the pour-over label, check the model number and filter type before buying.
