Hamilton Beach 2-Way Programmable Coffee Maker, Single Serve Coffee Maker & 12-Cup Coffee Pot, Black

we have been using a Keurig with the carafe and the single serve, for roughly 8 years. we went through three, the first one was the best second one and the last one didn't even make it a year. I have no idea why it took us so long to get this one, it was a great price, the looks of it is very fancy, two separate water compartments, there is a switch so that you can choose which one you would like, it pours out nicely without making a mess, we love the timer part, we enjoy it, it has all sorts of features the Keurig does not.. I will be recommending this product to anybody who is interested in a good coffee pot.

I am replacing my older version of this coffee maker that I have had for at least 12 years. While it still worked, it wasn't tasting the best so I decided to replace it. I went with the same exact coffee maker because I loved that it didnt use KCup style baskets in the mug side so I can customize how much grounds I use. I also found this style basket easier to clean. I also really liked that it doesnt have a reservoir and you just put in the amount of water you need each time. This takes the guess work out of what size mug you have and also keeps the water from going stale sitting in the reservoir. This is a great machine that I hope will last me another long time.

this thing is great. not only does it boil a full pot but also a cup on the side. if you need an individual serving it is a little annoying that I got to switch back and forth everyday because sometimes I do forget and my coffee doesn't Brew LOL but if you can get over that then it's worth it

I like this coffeemaker a lot, but as always there is a complaint and this coffeemaker is not alone here. I wish the sight window that shows how much water is in the reservoir was angled so you could see it more easily. It's along the side and it's very hard to see how much is in the reservoir when filling. A design error that could be easily resolved.

I feel that it is easy to use, versatile and helps lower ones microplastics ingestion. You also have the ability to make that very strong %26 bold coffee we all need at times. It looks fine to me, but if you are trying to impress someone with your coffee maker, this probably isn't the right choice for you. The only compliant that I have is that it is not as fast as a Bunn coffee maker. To me based on the price, versatility, and general appearance - it was the right price point for me.

I've been using this product for 9 months now. I give it 3 stars for 2 big reasons: %231 Water and coffee build up under the plastic ring on the rim of the carafe and is near impossible to get out. Yuk. %232 If you overfill the water and/or the grounds in the basket on the single serve side, even if by just the tiniest amount, you are going to have a huge mess on your hands and no easy way to clean it. I've had this happen about 3 times in the 9 months I've had it and each time it's taken me tons of q-tips, quite a few paper towels, and a bare minimum 30 minutes of my time to get all the grounds out of the apparatus where the water comes out.

was disappointed it didn't have a way to use K cups. We have a lot of K cups on hand so we will work through them and then start using the new one. Our old one is getting touchy so we will see how that goes. I really like making a cup or mug at a time using fresh coffee so we will be happy to see K cups go away.

I would give the single cup side of this coffee maker 4 stars as it did the job well, although the coffee could come out a little hotter. The screen mesh saves on buying k cups, but isn't easy to clean. You might be ok with just rinsing it off to get the grounds out--that's fine but not for me. The pot part of the coffee maker is where I had the most trouble. I used the filters that came included, ones we had from our old coffee pot, but neither could prevent the grounds from overflowing beyond the paper. I tried to just use enough water/coffee for 6 cups, which is only half the capacity, and even then the coffee grounds rose up above the filter. This made it harder to clean up after each pot, but even worse were the coffee grounds that made it to the pot. A dual coffee maker is great for convenient, but the problems outweigh the convenience and cheaper price. I'll be returning it.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! After reading all the reviews I thought this coffee maker would be a great choice, nope! Coffee maker is nothing great, just okay, but I find the coffee is NOT hot just after brewing, as I can take a gulp without burning my mouth! Also, the coffee does not taste as good as my old Cuisinart pod/carafe machine made it! I went back to my old machine!

We've always had a ninja coffee maker however we started to notice that the coffee wasn't hot. We explored options and thought we would give this coffee maker a try after reading the reviews. First- the coffee isn't hot. What happened to coffee makers that make hot coffee? Second- it's inconsistent in flavor. Sometimes it's stronger/weaker than the day before. I use same water and same amount of coffee day to day. It also doesn't beep when it's done which is just a preference that I didn't realize I preferred. Overall- disappointed in this purchase.
