OLD 1970'S VINTAGE Mr Coffee CB600 Automatic Coffee Maker REVIEW and It Still Works

I show you how this Old 1970's Vintage Mr. Coffee Maker still works and makes a great pot of coffee. I show you how they used to make coffee back in the past. Blast from the Past and it was so fun to buy this on Facebook Marketplace for $5 Dollars and clean it up and see if it still works. It was amazing that it still works. The coffee tasted Great but we have come a long way since the old coffee makers were used.

It might seem basic and standard but it was revolutionary back then.

I bet, thanks for sharing

[@carilliorobert4171]

Its actually better than most of today.

[@cajuntwmiller4510]

I love that coffee maker. My mom had one. Thanks for the memories!!

[@JustADad]

You are so welcome!

[@JustADad]

Every time I see a bunn coffee maker i think of my Dad also!!!!

[@rodhoutx]

We had this old thing too back in the 70's! And the model before or after this one too with the two separate switches! The history of Mr. Coffee is interesting. These models heated the water in that chamber on top and a little hole would open up when the water got hot enough. Very quiet. The design changed to the method used today after a series of acquisitions. In fact, I found the filter basket for the other model the other day .. it had a "Coffee Saver" slider switch to select how many cups of coffee you were making - the lower the number it would squeeze in the filter to a smaller space. Similar to how the OXO Brew has the slider switch on their basket.

[@JustADad]

Wow thanks for sharing a great story!!! I love to hear about the Old coffee makers in the 70's when things started to change away from Percolator type.

[@MAGNUM05]

Very neat! I have a Mr. Coffee MC-1AC from 1975 and it works pretty good. Of course, it's always very important to clean the machine all the way around and do a water test just to make sure there's no bacteria coming out of the nozzle, especially the water reservoir. You would have to do that before you make coffee on any vintage coffee maker. That's what I did with my Mr. Coffee maker.

[@JustADad]

Great tip!

[@joek8486]

Hi I just came across this post. I just got a vintage coffee maker and I’m scared to used it. Any tips on cleaning it and to make sure there is no bacteria hanging around. Thanks

[@Jar0fMay0]

@@joek8486use vinegar and water to clean it. It also works to descale the machine

[@brandonrobinson3480]

I bought this one like this today. These r amazing coffee makers.

[@JustADad]

Wow that is cool!

[@highoctaneadventure]

My parents had one with the yellow squares pattern on the panel. I still have the box with Joe DiMaggio on it lol

[@carilliorobert4171]

I have this model. It was never opened and still in original box! I use it and with good clean cold water...right coffee grind, it makes great coffee! This unit has that 70's old school cool vintage look with wood grain decal, red and yellow lights on buttons. These brew coffee fast and hotter. This unit has steel warmer plate and water reservior so it is better for you than the plastic ones of today. This is a simple yet effective unit. Lots of fun using it. Tip, though...these do not have stop drip, so, you will want to leave pot under basket for a couple minutes until the last drips out, otherwise coffee will drip all over warmer and make a mess. And, smell like burnt coffee! Great video...thanks for sharing!

[@nando415]

So cool!!

[@JustADad]

Thanks

[@mikehughes4969]

I have an old 70s Mr. Coffee that was passed down from my Dad. It still works, and I still use it.

[@InFltSvc]

They are much better then the nonsense we have today . I purchased a like mint 1950’s percolator and it makes the best coffee. The only drawback is the cleaning processes of the basket inside.

[@JustADad]

Yeah that sounds really nice

[@lpdog82]

i still use my 1978 mr. coffee brewer , simpler time , i just dont care for all this crazy new complicated junk they make these days! Lol

[@JustADad]

Wow 1978 that is amazing!!!!

[@bb-gc2tx]

my parents have been using the same mr coffee they bought in 1979

[@JustADad]

WOW!

[@freedomlandcanada230]

try the old sunbeam rising toaster- best thing ever with zero noise.

[@JustADad]

Will do, thanks

[@billchambersmarquez1964]

I have my late grandmothers sunbeam from 1958 still works but now it sits in its original box in the closet hasn't been used in 50 years

[@sheila3743]

OMG! Thank you for this video! I really needed to know how this machine worked in order to use it in a story I'm writing, and that goes back to the 70s. If it weren't for your video, I would be lost. By the way, this machine has a beautiful design. Sorry if my english is not good. I'm learning.

[@JustADad]

Glad it was helpful! Your english is perfect. Thanks for sharing your story, I love to hear stories about how my videos help. Yeah this machine definitely has a 70's look and feel to it.

[@gunipekbayrak3219]

SAME HERE

[@jamesrabe]

Just bought one at a thrift shop, also five dollars. Same brand, same speedy brew, but if you ever get one again, use two filters instead of one. Huge difference. ❤

[@mwatts-riley2688]

That is 40 years old. I used these daily as we all did.☕ I remember the leaks on to the counter top. But. We get it. ☕ M

[@JustADad]

wow from what i hear on line these coffee makers were ahead of their time. Some of the first Drip Coffee makers, People were getting away from the Percolator coffee makers that did not taste good.

[@jpavlvs]

Joe DiMaggio would be proud

[@billchambersmarquez1964]

Had several of those! Still prefer my old percolators!!!

[@mwatts-riley2688]

@@JustADad well the percs tasted fine when done right. the real reason ppl started buying these drips was that work force was changing. Women were going to work in the morning by the millions. the house wife was a thing of the past. We bought this as to make fast good coffee while getting ready and slamming the kids out the door. I worked at the community Center in northern Chicago burbs. When we got our first it was 89$ at Wards, in Waukegan. I knew then that day, how much my husband truly loved me. ❤ m

[@billchambersmarquez1964]

I had one of those you need to turn the brewer on before you add the water that way the water is hot as it starts brewing

[@Robert-vv9yg]

I just found one of these in a plastic container in a barn that is on some property I just purchased...and its as clean as this one...I have heard these were bad about causing fires...

[@elidanko1912]

This is a great coffee pot. This is before they went to the bubbler pump mechanism, and instead it uses a metal tray which the water goes through and a bimetallic strip which limits the water flow to get the right temperature.

[@oldtimegamer2.098]

I do like the look of that coffee maker but what I have noticed now n days some coffee mugs have gotten bigger from 10 to 20 years ago where you almost need a larger coffee maker to fill up a few large coffee mugs

[@Lovemy128i]

I want one

[@JustADad]

the good old days!!

[@billchambersmarquez1964]

I had one of those you need to turn on the brewer before you add the water

[@bdokey2]

I still use CB-600, buy on ebay if current one quits, it's the best! That filter basket is a better design than the ones made today, you can just pull it out and throw filter/grounds into the trash.

[@lisapratt166]

I had one ☝️

[@JustADad]

Wow the good old days,

[@haterskeephatin101]

This design looks closer to a bunn than the current mr. Coffees out there I wonder if these are actually better quality overall. If so they should definitely switch back to this style of design.

[@musclecarfan74]

I think it might be the 80's, do to the fact it is white. It would look out of place in a 70's kitchen, with yellow, orange, brown or green appliances.

[@JustADad]

yeah I bet you are right, oh the 70's colors, we had all yellow kitchen and bathroom,

[@nickkeeling9554]

Does the machine automatically turn off if you leave it on brew? It won't melt the plastic if left on brew correct?

[@hjordan5113]

Fun fact: This heats the water by passing electrical current directly through the water via two electrodes using the water as an electrolyte.

[@kargaroc386]

I assume there's just not that much there to break in one of these.

[@JustADad]

it does have some plastic but it seems very well made

[@brandonrobinson3480]

This model yr 1979

Thanks, I was not sure what year
