[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm big on my coffee and this coffee maker is awesome! I love that its front fill and the coffee grounds and water go in separate places. You can pick to brew just a few cups,a regular pot of coffee or a bold cup of coffee.. I like the bold setting as I get the most from my cup of coffee.. just an overall awesome coffee maker.. thank you so much for the opportunity to try this, i love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hamilton Beach Hamilton Beach Front Fill Deluxe 12 cup programmable Coffee Maker makes filling so much more convenient! The front fill system solved an issue I had been having for me. No more having to pull it in and out to fill! The carafe pours nicely and it makes a great cup of coffee! I would purchase this item for gifts also.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this a couple weeks ago to try out and review. I enjoy using this coffee maker. The best things are
1. Nice pour spout on garage; does not drip at all.
2. Easy to fill with water in the front.
3. It's nice to have the fill level for the water on the body of the machine.
4. Great to have the brew strength selector. Wish this were standard on all coffee makers. Coffee tastes and smells wonderful!
5. Display information is larger and nicely legible vs. a previous HB machine I had.
6. Fits my counters/cupboards space.

Things that could be better
1. Difficult to remove carafe lid to wash.
2. Filter basket holder is a bit tricky to make sure it is closed completely and securely. Also wish it were removable in case you need to clean it out.
3. Instruction booklet is less detailed than other HB I’ve owned. Somewhat odd that it says to unplug after it has cooled down…lose all clock and programming information if done.

But the things that could be better are not something I find negative, just things I noticed. It's too early to know longevity of unit. All coffee makers develop a leak at some point. Hope it lasts as long if not longer than past HB.
And the ultimate best feature alongside the brew selector is the ability to program it. No waiting for coffee in the morning. I rely on that all the time.
All in all, great machine!

Good ol basic coffee maker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a basic coffee maker that was easier to clean than the one I had, and this fits that criteria. It doesn't have many of the bells and whistles, but it tells me when it needs to be cleaned, has a "Bold" function, and I am easily able to remove filter with grounds and wash the carafe- so it checks all the boxes for what I need.

NIce features you cant find on any other machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Here is my take on this coffee maker-
Things I like-
-This machine makes a good cup of coffee. It is replacing a 5 year old 5 cup coffee maker. This makes coffee pretty fast, makes about 5 cups in 5 minutes.
-Love the large blue digital display; easy to read from across the room.
-Love the large buttons, placed within easy reach and easy to read.
-Love the large buttons, placed within easy reach and easy to read.
-I like the swing door with the basket in it. I have always had to pull the coffee maker forward so the flip up lid would clear the cabinet when adding coffee. This is a great idea that I have never seen on any other brand of machine.
-Love the fact I can fill the coffee maker with water from the front by flipping up the lid or from the back if necessary. By using the front lid, I don't have to pull the machine forward to clear the cabinet.
-In the back there is a little cut out for the power cord to fit in. What a great idea. You can slide what is left of the power cord into this slot so it is not all over the counter.
-The pot does not leak when pouring coffee.
-The silver trim around the machine adds a nice touch to the machine.
Things I don't care for-
-To set the time all you do is push the buttons. I can easily engage the button accidently when moving my hand across the counter. Wish the buttons had another button to press while setting the time to prevent accidentally changing the time.
-No battery backup on the clock. Just a simple battery like that of a car remote would hold the power and prevent the clock from resetting due to a power failure. If you want to set the timer to start making coffee in the morning and there is a 2 sec power failure, the machine will not start at the programmed time. Some areas have power failures often at night.
-The bottom opening is quite small for the decanter. Your have to push it straight in from the front to engage the pot. Other machines I have had have a larger opening so the pot can be slid in at a 45 degree angle instead of pushing it straight in. It is so dark inside the opening; I cannot even tell if the pot is full or empty without pulling the pot out.
-The machine seems very deep from front to back. Since I had a 5 cup coffee maker before this, I went to the store and looked at other 12 cup coffee makers. A few are as deep as this one, but I saw many which were not so deep and did not take up so much room. My kitchen is small so the large machine does take up a lot more counter space than I would like. This would be a major consideration when I am buying a machine.
-It does not beep when the coffee is ready. I know some people like this feature and others do not. It would be great to have a programmable on/low/med/off volume control for a beep. This is not a deal breaker, but would be a nice feature.
-The water level indicator is on the back left side of the machine. It is not so easy to read. It should closer to the front of the machine with some sort of magnifier on the numbers so it can be read more easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this coffee maker as part of the Hamilton Beach Ambassadors. This is the BEST coffee maker I have ever had. It is easy to use. Easy to set the time. Easy to program and makes the best coffee. It does not drip when you remove the pot and it looks great on my counter top. The basket swings out and you can remove it to clean it. The water is added at the front of the coffee maker, which makes it easy to fill and makes less mess. The pot is sturdy and is doesn't make a mess when you pour from it. I would recommend this coffee maker to friends and family. You can't go wrong.

Easy to use and maintain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the fact that this code maker can brew 4 cups as well as 12 cups at once. Very easy to use and fits right on the counter. It keeps the coffee hot for long. Also, you can see how long the coffee has brewed for, which i feel is a great feature to have.
