Hamilton Beach Programmable Coffee Maker, 12 Cups,

Lasted a long time, going to buy the same one to replace it
I bought this in 2018, and have probably used it to on average make 2 pots a day since then, so probably over 5000 pots of coffee. It just died this morning after cleaning it three times with vinegar (which I have done about every 2 months over the last years with no issue). I can only assume some steam ended up messing up the electronics – it still turns on but lights are low and it won’t brew anymore. But before dying it worked great. Made good coffee. Was easy to access under a shelf with the front fill. Only complaint I have is that I wish it had a programmable timer on how long it would stay warm (it is hard set to 2 hours before it turns off). I looked at other options, but for our setup this works great and I am going to buy it again to replace the one that just died. Overall really liked the product.

OK coffee maker but could use some improvements.
I had a quite old Mr. Coffee coffee maker with a square reusable basket that gave me many years of good service. It brewed very good coffee. The square basket, due to being used only serveral thousand times, was wore out and tore at one of the seams. I went to find a new basket for it and they are nowhere to be found. Bummer as that is a really good design. Yes, it is odd, but it brews really well.Anyway I did some research and decided on this coffee maker. The first one I received had something rattling around inside and I didn’t want to take a chance and power it up only to find it was a loose screw that shorts out inside and burns down my house. It was quickly replaced with no hassle other than having to take the old one to a drop off point.It works well, but, and has a couple features I like. I like the top lid fill. It is designed well and when filling it doesn’t splatter water all over. Whoever designed it figured out the right curves for water to pour and drain into the maker. The brim on the pot is plastic. I like this as I have a tendency to be clumsy and smack the spout on something breaking it off; however, this is a double edge sword. The plastic brim doesn’t allow all the liquid to be poured out easily. It wastes a good couple teaspoons of coffee each time. The only way I know how to get those last two teaspoons is to shake the bejesus out of the coffee pot, but that would result in maybe one drop making into the cup and the rest spattered all over the counter.It also wants cleaning all the time. My water is very soft and doesn’t build up like most other areas, but the maker only seams to track pots brewed, and not the actual build up in the machine. I am OK with that, but the fix to reset it is to unplug the maker, let it sit about ten minutes and plug it back in. Sounds easy, but then I got to reprogram the clock and make sure to set the maker on “BOLD” as that is the only way to make coffee. It really needs a reset button.Last thing I don’t like is the water level is on the left side. The place I have my coffee maker is in an area where the left side is obfuscated. I am not going to change that as it would require a complete redesign of cooking area to include my microwave and other stuff I have near the coffee pot. Would really be nice to have levels on both sides.I have been using it several months and it brews good coffee. I wish somebody would come back with the square basket. That worked so well and brewed really good coffee. 🙁

Practical, economical, and quite good at what it does!
Neither my husband nor I are coffee drinkers, but we have many family members who are. We had an old Mr. Coffee who should have been called, “Mr. Reliable.” Since he was getting on in years, we felt it wise to invest in an economical, low-tech, potential work-horse of a coffee maker primarily for guests and entertaining. Enter Amazon, research, and reviews finally deciding on this model. Now please do not mourn for Mr. Coffee, he is still with us residing in the pantry for emergency service when needed. This particular Hamilton Beach model fit the bill of reasonably priced, low-tech, easy to use and clean, and hardworking from a well established and reliable company. Mr. Hamilton Beach has been in our employ for almost 3 years now, and what an outstanding employee he has been. He has served at multiple parties and family gatherings; he has hosted many, many house guests, and has reliably made coffee when asked to do so. We have no complaints about this faithful servant.The programmable feature, the Select-a-Brew component, the attractive look, and certainly not least of all the delicious coffee others always comment upon when served have all contributed to the enjoyment and functionality of this attractive, unobtrusive coffee maker. The 24 hour preprogramming coupled with the 2 hour shut off give peace of mind whenever it is in use. The swing out basket makes cleaning simple and easy. There have been no malfunctions, leaks, discolorations, or chips or cracks in the carafe. All in all, Mr. Hamilton Beach Programmable Coffee has been a great addition to our kitchen staff!Top 3 Likes:-Reliable, functional, and practical-Easily programmable with safety shut off-Easily loaded and cleanedTop 3 Dislikes:-No Dislikes!
