[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Professional Programmable Coffee Maker has become an asset to my life! I've been an avid coffee drinker for years, and this machine by far is the best I've owned! I enjoy being able to customize my coffee with the four brewing strengths. I favor a more bold robust coffee, and I get a consistent flavor each brew! The basket holder release button, as well as the hinge on the swing-out filter basket helps secure the solid build machine back in place! Also, the easy to remove water reservoir makes filling the tank simple. This has helped my aging hands make less of a mess. I no longer have to pour the water, I easily fill the tank under the faucet and place the chamber on the machine. The auto brew programming option has saved me time as well in my morning routine! I love waking up to the scent of my coffee, and pouring my coffee from the no drip carafe. The Hamilton Beach Professional Programmable Coffee Maker has enhanced my coffee routine!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Straight out of the box this professional coffeemaker was so much lighter than it looked. The metal components were installed in the places where heat or wear and tear would make a difference(like the brew basket, hot plate and information/direction buttons). So often those buttons are a sticker that wear out. They are raised and so easy to operate whether you are setting the clock, brew time or boldness of coffee flavor. I liked the step down brew plate to keep the pot securely in place until you need it. As a safety feature, you can pause the brewing cycle if you want to pour a cup of coffee before the brewing is completed. Another well thought out feature is that if the brewing cycle is begun without the handled water reservoir it will stop brewing in 60 seconds. There is a pod water filter to keep the flavors true. The brewing basket swings out easily and uses a cone shaped paper filter. You can set the brewing strength from classic to robust. I prefer the middle flavor of bold as I use decaffeinated coffee most of the time. You can make 4 to 12 cups at a time and there is an included 2 Tbsp measuring scoop with suggestions to meet your unique flavor profile. The coffee can be kept warm from 10 minutes to 4 hours at low, medium or high. If you don’t choose a time it automatically sets for 2 hours. The coffeemaker tells you the time since the coffee was brewed. The coffee comes out smooth and that flavor is not altered through continued warming. It is easy to disassemble and clean. I am really impressed with the easy of use and the great coffee taste.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this coffee maker. It is very easy to program. I just love waking up to a pot of fresh, hot coffee. It makes the coffee hot and it makes the coffee pretty fast. I also love that it stays nice and hot for hours. You have to use the cone filters and comes with a few to start you out. I really like cone filters more than the normal ones. Love the color and the way it looks on my counter.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At home in the morning, quick brewing, the cup measurement on the water dispenser does not match the measurement on the coffee pot. The water filter definitely makes a better tasting pot of coffee. Easy to clean. Proportion of the unit is a nice size for counters that don't have a lot of space!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Hamilton Beach Professional Programmable Drip Coffee Maker makes the best tasting coffee. It looks great on my kitchen counter and doesn’t take up much space. The high brewing temperature makes the coffee better in my opinion. There are 4 brew strength options. The button selection on top is easy to use. It is so convenient to have the built in coffee scoop on top. The 60 oz. Water reservoir is easy to fill. I use this coffee maker daily. I program it before I go to bed so my coffee will be ready in the morning when I wake up. There is a pause and pour feature if you want a cup before it is done brewing. The basket swings open to easily put the coffee in the cone brew basket. The cleaning cycle reminder is great so I will never forget to clean it. This is a great quality coffee maker and I would recommend it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this Hamilton Beach Coffee Maker approximately 10 days ago and am amazed at the great cups of coffee that it brews. I am so impressed that I can choose from four different brew strengths. I love that it fits perfectly on my counter with plenty of room underneath my cabinets. This is the perfect coffee maker for having dessert and coffee with friends. This would make the perfect gift for any sized household or office.
