Customer reviews
Makes a very palatable brew
I once owned a Hamilton Beach coffeemaker 50 years ago when I first married my wife. I remember how the coffee brewing smelled just like it tastes, wonderful! Over the years, as a coffee enthusiast, I've tried many different brew methods, electric percolator, pourover single cup, Italian Mika brewer, and they all price exceptional tasting cup of coffee. The negative aspect with some of these is cleanup and maintenance. I wanted to get back to a 12 cup brewer because of my need for my coffee and simplified brewing method. This coffeemaker fills that need. It has simplified buttons easy for a senior to operate. Even though it is mostly plastic, like most items we use today, it is adequately durable with proper care. The 12 cup size meets my requirements, and it functions as advertised. Water flow has two speeds, normal, and measured /timed. Meaning, the choice for regular brew or bold. I tried a regular pot with 1 cup of ground coffee. It came out slightly weak tasting. Next, I tried the bold setting, same measures. It came out strong and a bit bitter tasting. So, following a suggestion from the owners sheet and reviews, I next tried a pot with 3/4 cup of coffee. Voila! A perfect pot of coffee! Now, my personal suggestions for making that pot last all day without getting blacker and Muddy tasting. (1) Immediately after brewing is finished, turn the unit off. As you pour a cup during the course of your day, put it in the microwave and reheat it. My wife always did this, and would even drink a cup of this coffee the next morning, using it all before making a fresh batch. I thought she was nuts, but, it does taste pretty good, and, it saves a LOT on rapidly rising coffee prices! (2) Once brewing is completely finished and dripping is done, remove the carafe, open the lid and gently stir the coffee for 5 seconds to mix it. Really? Well , while brewing, stronger coffee settles in the bottom of the pot while toward the end the water coming out is almost clear. It's stratified. So stir before serving, you'll enjoy your coffee all day long with these tips. Give a thumbs up if these worked for you. 😎 PS: After a couple months use, I've learned a thing or two about the brew cycle. Choosing the Bold cycle allows you to use much less coffee, but it takes experimentation to accomplish your expected results. I began experiencing acid stomach from this process, so I switched to regular brew, put in half cup of coffee plus one tablespoon and brewed on regular cycle and got a perfect pot. Folks had claimed that either the coffee was weak, or the brew basket would overflow. You just need to break in this coffeemaker. Overall, it's a darn fine product, and once you make friends with it, I believe you'll like it. 😎

Very affordable and so far reliable! Been using out of the box since June 8th.
Works perfectly. Makes coffee smoothly. And a huge fan of the auto brew feature. Not much extra bells and wisles otherwise but makes up for with a very affordable price while still brewing an excellent cup of Joe! Don't really need the extra features myself anyway. And don't see myself wanting to spend more on a machine when this works perfectly and has so far been reliable. I've been using it out of the box since June 8th, had to get a new one during lockdown I tend to pack a lot of grinds, and it still had yet to back up. Or include any errors. Something my old machine was prone to and was more expensive. Wouldn't have been able to survive going back to work after lockdown! And didn't have a huge budget at all, as I wasn't working. Also love having a brew auto timed for before I wake up! Very happy I stumbled upon this machine and I'm very satisfied with my purchase!

Check the size of there unit.
I like that I could get a white coffee maker, as my other small appliances are white. it is getting harder to fund white ones. The only thing that I was not expecting is the size of the coffee maker itself. It was a little bigger than I expected,, so it doesn't fit on my counter as well as my old one. It does make a GREAT cup of coffee first thing in the morning.

Very good economical way to make coffee.
This is my second one of this brand. the first was so old I don't recall when I got it (many many years) and it did still work, but was looking poorly. It could easily have lasted longer but my vanity got me to order a new one. Works well, setup is easy. I use the auto-start feature so the coffee is perking when I get up in the morning.
