My main qualm with this item is that the mess free pouring feature on the pot makes it hard to get the last few drops out
The coffee maker itself is nice, the features are very useful
Also has several convenient design features like a swivel base, removable water reservoir, and swing out coffee filter holder.
On a positive note, the removable water tank is a nice feature - if not for this, I would have only rated one star
While the rolling feet and removable water tank were a nice feature of this coffee maker -- the fact that it started to brew coffee that was so weak that it looked like
Product seemed fine but when used and set up clock doesn't work which in turn doesn't allow the pre brew function, waste of money and would not reccomend buying this product
I love the removable tank on the back, the adjustable heater temperature, the bold setting for slower brewing and the easy to remove and clean basket
Hamilton Beach recommends brewing decaffeinated coffee when using the bold or 1-4 cup option.
We've had this coffee pot under 4 months and the Bold brew option button no longer works, as well as the digital clock
I would rate this unit a 5 star now if it weren't for the slow "bold" brew time
but I don’t like the 12 cup tops design it is hard to get all the Coffee out of it!
While the maker brews well I've always hated the design of the carafe
The carafe is very poorly designed, with a plastic ridge all around the inside of the glass so that it was unnecessarily difficult to get excess water/coffee out
It pours smoothly, the bold brew option is great and the removable water reservoir and swing out coffee basket are a really great design.
It was s difficult to pour in the waterTge plastic filter cup is difficult to place in the coffee maker.
It has a swing-out coffee basket (easy to fill, no "showerhead" spewing steam in your face when you want to make a second pot right away).
Someone said in another review that the steam is a problem coming out the top and can damage cabinets - I always have it pulled out anyway, so it isn't a problem and you can easily roll it back into place under the cabinets.
Pros: Makes good coffee ( using on bold; also has a 1-4 cup setting)Easy water fill upKeeps coffee hot ( using middle of 3 heat settings- top one was actually too hot)Easy clean up with one exception ( see cons)Does not release steam under my countertopCons
It was s difficult to pour in the waterTge plastic filter cup is difficult to place in the coffee maker.
I loved my old coffee maker as it made a strong cup of coffee
The basket pops open and has a handle to pull it up to dump used grounds.
I dump the used grounds in my garden & the filter in recycle but still prefer a perm
The swing out basket is really handy when dumping the grounds
Can't put in too much grounds (if you like strong coffee) - or it causes problems.... messes...
The basket takes some getting used to when dumping old grounds, and the smokey water level indicator on the machine is not the easiest to read, but the price and performance make this a great buy.
Love the swing out door for the coffee grinds since that also makes setting up less messy
The only minor citicizm is the color of the coffee basket as it is difficult to see if the basket is clean the coffee grinds being the same color
the ability to set the warming pad temp is a great touch, as I like my coffee hot, but I also like to drink it pretty promptly without waiting for it to cool for 20 minutes
A big plus.4.This coffee maker has some incredibly useful, attractive features: a swivel base; an EASY-TO-FILL WATER RESERVOIR; a pull-out coffee-ground dispenser.
Separating the water reservoir from the coffee grinds was smart
