Brews a good pot of coffee

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee pot is really nice. It is made with several features to help get a good pot of coffee. Easy pouring in the front and the basket swings out for easy adding of coffee. It is so simple to use and learn the features. We ran a cycle with just water to clean it out first. The carafe is dishwasher safe. It is so easy to use. It always seems to take forever for that first cup but with this coffee maker you can pause it briefly to get that first cup right away. I absolutely love that feature and I can set my coffee maker on a preset timer to automatically start the maker. And when you're done using it, and forget to shut it off (bad habit of mine) it will automatically shut off after two hours. Overall a great lifesaver at an affordable price and the quality is amazing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I make coffee a few times a day - so the thoughtful extras in this coffee machine really go a long way to make our life easier.
I enjoy that you can fill the water from the front of the coffee maker, so if you have to move it out of placed at all, it's minimal. Love that the coffee basket just simply swings out as well!
The programmable option is really easy to set up. Unlike other brewers, you don't have to wait for it to pre-heat before setting it to make coffee in the future. I like this because it seems like it would cycle less and save wear and tear on your coffee machine. Very thoughtful!
As people who can make a carafe but also multiple 'small batches' of coffee during the day, the '1-4 cups' feature really came in handy for us. Sadly you can't make it 'bold' and '1-4 cups' - but the bold setting works quite well for a carafe or partial carafe full, and the 1-4 cup setting brews a nice cup(s) of coffee! The options are 'bold', ' 1-4 cups' or 'clean' (the default is regular).
The Front Fill Deluxe will brew what you add water to brew - so if you want a full carafe, put the appropriate amount of water in. If you choose the 1-4 cups option, you can fill it with that amount. I like that - then water doesn't languish indefinitely in your coffee marker.
I appreciate that you can add a water filter, it doesn't come with any so I think we'll be purchasing them so that we can keep it running smoothly even though our city water isn't the best for coffee makers.
My husband and I have used this multiple times each day - and it makes better coffee and takes up less counter space then many more pricey options.
To summarize, this is an excellent coffee maker with options that usually cost much more to purchase from other brands. From 1 cup to 12 cups - from manual to programmable - this will meet most daily coffee drinkers needs!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very good quality coffee maker. I like the front fill option for water and the swing out grounds basket. It makes great tasting coffee, using standard filters with any coffee. I just wish it had the water window on both sides, as mine has to sit where the window is on the wrong side. Otherwise, great coffee maker!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this coffee maker so much. It works great, you can program it to make coffee for you every morning AND it has a cleaning function! So awesome! I love the way the door swings out in the front to make loading coffee grounds in it a lot easier. I love how you fill it in the front with water, making the chances of spills a lot less likely. The clean up of the machine is a breeze and it is astheically pleasing and goes well with all my other countertop appliances, which does not make me want to hide it under a cabinet somewhere. It looks great, and stands up to its claims. A great product that will not fail you. A must have/buy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this 12cup Front Fill Deluxe Programmable Coffee Maker for the past 2 weeks and I Am In LOVE! We have a huge family and coffee time together is our thing in the morning. It is perfectly brewed, no mess and programming makes it easy to set up without having to worry it. This would be perfect for work too, like a small office or even a bigger one, 12 cups go a long way. It's easy to clean and no spilling when coffee is dripping! It is perfect!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great New design. Looks good, works fantastic. Well made and as always is a Great product made by a superior company.Glad I ordered this, as my maker started leaking underneath. Looking forward to Many years of brewing !! This strip of stainless steel should seal the machine, so the leak factor is most likely addressed !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 12 Cup programmable coffee maker with frontfill water reservoir. With easy touch programming to start & be ready when you wake up. It also comes with auto pause so you can steel that first cup. Lol I love the cleaning cycle reminder & the 2 hour auto shut off because I do forget . Lol A great feature which I haven’t seen yet is , select your brew from regular, bold , & 1-4 cup options. This one has a pod which includes instructions on how to clean with vinegar. Our family has been using Hamilton Beach products for years & we have yet to have any complaints. Always trustworthy good quality products!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this coffee maker! I previously used a one cup coffee maker and I was greatly disappointed by how my coffee started tasting. The single cup pods were very wasteful and I felt guilty adding unnecessary waste to the landfills. Each cup of coffee I pour from the carafe is as great as the first time I brewed. I love that I can customize the brews, and that I can fill the water from the front of the coffee maker. It is incredibly easy to clean, which is very important for me.
