Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker

This pot has so many nice features, like how strong I can brew, how many cup fo\rom 1-4 or a full pot It also has programmable features so I can have my coffee ready when I get up. It has a pause feature so you can get a cup mid stream brewing. The best $20 I have spent in a long time!!

A friend bought this coffee maker for me, and I'm so happy with it! It's nice that I can preset it at night and wake up to fresh coffee in the morning, and I also like the different brew options. It looks nice, is easy to use, and I think my favorite thing is that the coffee pot is well made and doesnt spill everywhere when you pour from it! I'd definitely recommend this to anyone!

This is a very good coffee maker for the money. I researched coffee makers prior to my purchase, and decided on the HB 12 cup and have not been disappointed. Walmart was the lowest price I found, and I did an in-store pickup- so no shipping costs. My last coffee maker ( Black & Decker ) had a caraf that would always spill- no problems with the HB. The HB is stylish and looks good, is simple to use and I like the settings button. I usually only make one to two cups so I keep the setting on bold and use a little less coffee and it comes out great every time. The only thing I wish it might have is a lighted display and a little bit larger pouring area when you put in the water, but for $ 19 I would rather have consistently great coffee and a spout that actually works as it should and is designed well. Overall at this price point it is highly recommended !

I am a heavy coffee drinker and seem to go through coffee makers every 6-12 months. If the heating element lasts beyond that for me it will be the best maker I have had yet and I have tried many of the lower cost brands. First off what it doesn't do that others do... it doesn't drip when pouring which has been an irritant having to pour over the sink all the time in the past. I don't have to worry about it overflowing because the lid cam up a bit and shut off the basket drain because the water spout holds the basket down. When I lift the lid all the water condensation doesn't drip down the back of the coffee maker but drips back into the water reservoir so no mess or worry that water would short it out being that is where the power cord is too. I like that it is basket filter which is less expensive then cone filters and I find easier to use. I also like that you can read the water level in the reservoir from either side. I haven't tried out the brew levels of regular, bold or 1-4 cup but for me the regular makes a good pot of coffee. You do have to manually move the spout back over the reservoir to remove the coffee basket but when you close the lid it automatically moves the spout back over the basket and holds it down in place. It does have an option to buy a water filter for it and wish that was included which might help with heavy mineral content in the water taking life from the heating elements. I haven't tried the programming of it but seems it would work. I wish the hotplate would stay on for longer then 2 hrs at a time but understand the reasoning for that. So overall I have not found anything wrong and amazed at the price as it was one of the lowest costing of all.

This is what we needed, it looks great in our stainless kitchen, it does the job. We had a larger coffee pot before with a brewstation and it was a joke, it kept leaking and breaking so I junked it because the parts I needed were more than the coffee pot! anyhow, LOVE this pot! Forgot how much I missed just a normal coffee pot...works great and looks good doing it! :)

Seriously, it was well worth the price I paid. Makes a decent pot of coffee. And that's coming from a long-term Bunn brand user. Easy clean-up and simple design that's easy to use. My only complaint is that it does take long time to brew even just 6 or 8 cups.

Makes great coffee. My only concern is that the carafe looks flimsy and the reason we keep having to buy new coffeemakers is because the carafe breaks. That's why we buy cheap ones. This is the cheapest one yet and so far works as well as the previous ones that we've had.

Had this coffeemaker for almost a month now. It makes good coffee and easy to use. Really like the no drip coffee pot. My husband use to drip coffee all over the counter with our old more expensive Mr. Coffeemaker. Haven't had a spill with our new pot. Also easy to clean and can't beat the price. Yes I would recommend it to a friend.

Arrived sooner than expected. Overall makes a good pot of coffee. It's quick and not too loud when brewing. After about 10 times of running the coffee maker including 4 times of cleaning runs prior to first use the top has warped....this is the reason for deducting one star. For the price it does the job though and I would buy it again.

This is our first coffeemaker. It looks very good on the counter with other black and silver kitchen accessories but it's very very light and i wish it had a latch or some kind of a hook to close down the top tightly (where coffee and water filled). Other than that its working perfectly so far with no spills but i guess that has to be how careful you are when pulling jar out etc., timer and other features working properly, when brewing it makes snorkeling sounds which i don't mind but my wife does :). But $17 can't complain.
