Hamilton Beach 12-Cup Programmable Drip Coffee Maker Machine, Dispensing Coffee Pot, Cafetera, Black

when I unpackaged it, it had some sort of red sauce on the front of it and there was a hair in where the coffee filter and coffee goes! The cord wasn't wound up as if it would have been if it was actually new and never opened or used! No plastic cover for the plug! And it was scratched up!! I waited over a week for it and now it has to go back! Good thing I have a back up 4 cupper! I ordered a NEW one! Not one that someone tried out and didn't like it! Someone needs to do better!

i've been buying these H-B brewstations for over 20 yrs ... because they "HAD" such highly visible %26 depeñdablè clocks, even though the machines only lasted 6 to 8 mos. About a year %26 a half ago the clocks were switched over to a crappy mfgr and machines are defective on first day ! i went thru 3 in one week and Walmart quit accepting returns on them. NEVER AGAIN !!!

okay, i just now got my first cup of coffee from this Hamilton beach coffee maker and it works great. i also just bought a cheaper hamilton beach coffee maker for $54 dollars and it was junk. spend the money and get the stainless steel coffee maker. I've had one of these before and that's why I bought another one. no coffee pot to mess with just put your cup up to the button and like magic there it is.

This is my favorite coffee pot of all time. There is no carafe to break and the coffee stays warm up to four hours. I like the programmable feature, and I set up coffee every evening to be sure I wake up to hot coffee on these cold mornings.

The item came it was very flimsy. The top was broken off. I have to tape it on. The metal part at the bottom is not secure.. I've always had this type of coffee maker, but they sure are not making them like they used to..

I've been happy with the Hamilton Beach 12-Cup Programmable Drip Coffee Maker overall. It's very easy to use, the controls are straightforward, and programming the brew time is simple. Cleaning is also easier than many similar coffee makers I've owned, which is a big plus for daily use. The coffee tastes good, and the warming plate does a decent job of keeping it ready to drink. However, I did notice a small constant humming or buzzing sound while the warming plate is active. It's not loud, but it is noticeable in a quiet kitchen. My other minor complaint is that I would prefer the coffee to be a little hotter, especially right after brewing. It's hot enough for most people, but if you like very hot coffee, you may find it slightly below your preference.

Removable water tank is a vast improvement over the earlier design. No more spilling water while filling. Just remove the tank and fill, pop back into place with no mess. Program timer to preferred brewing time and when you get up you have nice hot coffee. The 4 hour keep warm function is great, no need to worry if you left it on. The push dispenser is the single greatest function of this coffee maker, no pot to pick up and risk spilling hot coffee. Temperature stays good and hot while machine is on.

Everything about this coffee maker is stupid. The basket & grinds sit in the coffee as and after it brews, making the coffee bitter. The cup measures are not accurate. The warmer actually boils the coffee once it is brewed, you can actually hear it boil. And it is a pain to clean- the brew part is not dishwasher safe and instructions stress to NEVER put it in the dishwasher. So...burned boiled bitter coffee that is made in a coffee maker that is tedious to clean. Waste of time and money. Sending it back ASAP

This coffee maker makes excellent coffee. There's only one thing that bothers me about it and that is that it continues to make a perking/ simmering sound after the coffee is done. I also believe it slightly boils as it makes that noise so I remove the coffee into a carafe.

Bought for My Husbands 46th Anniversary gift. He is the coffee drinker. Easier to use than our old thermal carafe pot, but coffee seems to get stronger each day. Set it on regular brew, with 1 hour warming hold. So seems like heating tank must need washing everyday, just a rinse will not work.
