Introduction
This guide is particularly useful if the tubing in your Mr. Coffee BVMC-SJX33G is cracked or ripped. This guide also demonstrates how to remove the rubber hoses for simple cleaning.
Make sure your coffee maker is unplugged and empty of all water before attempting to make any repairs.
What you need
-
-
Also the front two screws are safety screws: they have a 6 sided star shape with a raised dimple in the center to prevent homebodies from casually opening the machine. (probably from the Sunbeam’s (owns Mr. Coffee) legal dept.) Anyway you will need a security bit to remove the screws and not a phillips screw driver.

That is indeed the question. Because of planned obsolescence companies basically assume you will just buy an entirely new coffee maker. My best suggestion is to buy a similar model at a thrift store like Goodwill and use the parts from that.
I noticed red hose - and transparent hose - when one uses one or other - not all are FDA approved as food grade hoses ?
I thought transparent is often food grade FDA marked - and it can be marked high temp up to 500 degrees
But never the red - the red is high temp but it may not be food grade - Question:" How to verify when one has the hose that it is from a seller ?
~~~~~ Two Questions Below: ~~~~~~~~~~~
How is best way to verify hose as drinking water safe ?
What diameter hose should one get for Model : BVMC-SJX33GT [ Mr Coffee Maker ] ? Metric/English -size for it is ?
Amazon: HOS9X13 . You must transfer a valve from one of the water feed tubes and insert into the replacement hose, note the position. It has to be cut out of the old hose. This prevents backflow and the hose from collapsing from a vacuum so its generally close to the water source.
How much life you get from the repair depends on how corroded the aluminum tube is. While there are deposits that can be wiped out , bad metal corrosion needs refinishing to be smooth and prevent the smallest leaks of steam even with a new hose. New tighter spring clamps will help. So even if a major leak is stopped, a steam leak will make the bottom damp.
