[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my coffee maker, because on work days I use the pod side for a wake up before work. The ground brew side is good when I am home all day or with family visits. Another bonus this also has auto start up & shut off. No more leaving home and returning to shut it off
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this coffee maker just because it had the carafe on one side and the single cup on the other side, but after my first cup I will be buying Hamilton Beach coffee makers for the rest of my life. The coffee tastes different, more like peculated coffee, it even sounds like peculated coffee when it is brewing. The coffee also comes out hotter than most other coffee makers I just love mine and I am very picky about coffee.
Finally a machine that allows pods and your own coffee! Except thermos doesn't hold heat as long as I'd like. Wish burner kept it hot longer. Base of pot falls off too.
Purchased this unit to replace our Keurig single serve coffee maker. Liked the idea of the carafe for family get togethers. This was the third time using the carafe and it took forever to brew and fill. So today I made 12 cups of just water and timed it. Shocked that it took just about 18 minutes for the 12 cups. Nothing sure why.
