Hamilton Beach 2-Way Programmable Hot & Iced Coffee Maker

After having my Keurig break down after only 22 months I decided to go back to grounds. I am loving my new Hamilton coffee maker. It was super easy to set up and it’s compact. I don’t have a lot of counter space so it’s nice that it does not take up very much space. The coffee brews hot and you can adjust the cup height for single brew. I especially love the price I paid and I got the 3 year extended warranty. It was still a lot cheaper than a new Keurig. The coffee tastes great 👍🏼 My only negative comment is that I have to fill the water tanks each time. They recommended not leaving water in the tanks. But I’ll get used to it. I also got myself a coffee grinder to get back to whole beans. My coffee is tasting better already and it’s healthier for you than k-cups!

I bought this for my mom, who has never had a single cup coffee maker. She absolutely loves the ability to make a pot every morning and having a quick cup to go when she goes out in the afternoon. The one cup and the carafe use a metal filter so she can use the same coffee for both. That saves her from spending money on pods and removes the waste that comes with it. It is no bigger than her last pot, and brews a great cup of coffee. She was excited to report that she was able to set it up on her own and got it brewing without any problems.

I love this coffee maker. It allows me to make one cup or a full pot. The coffee tastes very good. You can also make iced coffee but I don't care about that because I don't make iced coffee. Price was reasonable. It's simple looking. You can Brew bold coffee. I love everything about it.

Overall, I really like this coffee maker. It does have a couple of quirks though. One thing I didn't see talked about in any of the reviews I read before buying was that this has two separate water reservoirs. If you fill water from the opening at the front of the maker, you're filling the single cup portion first, and then the excess goes into the main tank for brewing a pot. I find this to be the easier place to fill it using, but that also means that you always have water in the reservoir for the single cup. I'm not a huge fan of that. It also means that if you decide you want a smaller single cup later, there's no way to remove any of the water that you've already put in. So, you're always going to get a full sized cup. The single cup function is great and really convenient though, and I find myself using it more often than I expected. The mesh filter is really handy but you will always end up with some really fine grinds on the bottom of the cup. This isn't a problem for me, but some people may feel sick if they drink this portion of the coffee. The iced coffee function is nice to have, but makes really weak coffee. Typically, to make iced coffee, you would leave the grinds soaking in cold water for several hours. So, this is a quick way to get room temperature coffee, but it's not great and melting ice will only further weaken it. Also, if the machine drips at all after you've taken the cup off, it falls into a small pool under the cup holder. It's nice that it's there, but would have been better if there was something you could remove to rinse out instead of just being part of the unit itself. I also wish that it was possible to adjust how long the hot plate stays on for. It doesn't go off for four hours, and that's just way too long to leave coffee sitting. The carafe is pretty decent. It doesn't stain easily, which is always nice. But it isn't great at getting all of the water out when pouring, even if turned completely upside down. Not a huge deal, but it's not what I'm used to. There also seems to be something about the way the brewer and carafe line up that always causes a few drops of coffee to fall from the machine after you've taken the carafe off, falling onto the hot plate. I find myself having to clean it off way more often than I should. Overall though, it's a very solid machine that does a good job making coffee. It's easy to use and although I have mixed feelings about all of the additional functions, they're nice to have in something around this price point. I'm happy with the purchase overall.

This coffee pot is the best one I've had in a long time. You can brew any size pot you want or just one cup up to 14 oz. Put in water, put in grounds and turn it on...super simple. It doesn't do pods, but that's ok by me because they are too expensive for me anyway. The pot is programmable to have coffee ready when you wake up. It has a sensor so that if you need a cup before the pot is done brewing you can remove the pot to poor a cup and it stops and doesn't drip on the warming plate. I have not had to clean up coffee that ended up somewhere other than the pot or the cup and best part, no grounds in the pot or the cup. I am a happy customer. It was 69.99 which I think is a great value for the price compared to other coffee makers. I highly recommend.

This is a good coffee pot however I only purchased this one was because it had the cold brew option but the cold brew option is just as hot as the regular brew so it wasn’t worth the purchase. Wish I would’ve gone with my other choice because that one had the feature for it to stop brewing into the pot when you removed it to pour a cup so you don’t have to wait until the entire pot is finished like you do with this one. Coffee just keeps pouring out if I remove the pot to fill my cup.

Works great. Coffee is delicious. Slowly pours water through. Perfect

Works great but extremely slow to brewed. Only giving it 4 stars because of how slow it is

As described

Excelente cafetera

Uma super cafeteira, faz um excelente café, não fica gosto de queimado, aproveita todo pó devido ao sistema de "chuveiro " de distribuição da água. Jarra reforçada, robusta. Recomendo!

Ótima

Love it...makes the perfect cup of coffee. I have stopped wasting extra coffee when I was using the carafe.
