Hamilton Beach The Scoop Single-Serve Coffee Maker, 14 oz., Stainless Steel, Model 47550

In my quest to find the best single serve coffee maker I have finally found the one. If you want the freedom of using your own ground coffee and you know what a good cup of coffee tastes like then The Scoop by Hamilton Beach is the only right answer. All I want is to make a good cup of coffee with minimal hassle

I absolutely love this machine. It serves my needs perfectly as I'm not a fancy-shmancy coffee drinker and instant coffee is just too pricey for my taste. This machine is so well thought out in its design that it makes the task of making coffee fun again. There's no messy paper filters to drag out into the trash. It's so easy to rinse out and have ready for the next morning. It's crazy how this thing wasn't built over two decades ago. There's nothing technologically whiz bang about it. It looks good, works great, and is simple enough for someone super lazy like me to have no problems keeping it clean and ready for the next cup of coffee. There's no clunky carafe to collect stains and ding around inside of the sink hoping it doesn't break while you wash it. Major plus is that my wife thinks this is some $120 model because of how slick it looks and works. Of of my great buys of 2020. Get one or two.

The main reason I purchased this coffee maker is because it was neither a carafe type with a warmer nor a K-cup type. I hate the warmers as they make coffee taste burned. I would rather reheat coffee in a mug in the microwave than have a warmer destroy the flavor. The other reason I hate warmers is that the paint peels off the warmer and it rusts causing rust to cling to the carafe. Also, it just looks nasty. I did not want to use K-cups because they cannot be recycled. This is a nice alternative. I brew it straight into a metal insulated mug. Then, I can either dump the grounds into a plant or into my composter. I am pleased with the coffee brewed and glad that I do not have to purchase filters.

I absolutely love this Coffee Maker!!! I am the only one in my family that drinks coffee so it works perfectly and is so easy to clean! I tried the Kuerig Coffee maker but you just don't get that robust coffee flavor and this has a regular and bold brew and you use real ground coffee and it comes out hot not semi hot like the Kuerig. I also wanted something that didn't take up much counter space and looked nice and this does both. I like that you can put your large thermo cup or take the metal plate move it up and it holds a regular cup. There are 3 removeable parts for the brew, the scoop, a post filter and the cup they sit in. All are extremely easy to clean! And there is a place to hang the scoop on the side of the coffee maker til your ready to use it. It takes about 5 minutes to brew a large cup because it is a drip brewer, which i am usually fixing my breakfast during that time so it works out perfectly. I highly recommend this coffee maker!!!

I am very happy with the purcahse. Its small and fits into my SS kitchen. Some how, I thought that the travel mug was part of the package. But even without it, the price was excellent. The cup /mug holder needs to have a intermediate levell. If you use a 12oz mug it won't fit on the top position of the platform. Put the mug on the bottom position and you get coffee splatter on the back of the preparation area.

I like my coffee on the weak side so I only put in 3 teaspoons of ground coffee and that barely covers the bottom of the little basket but when brewing the water and grounds come out of the basket and into the coffee cup and I have to strain the coffee every time to get all the grounds out and it’s a lot. It also makes a mess on the coffee pot itself that I have to clean up every time. I also end up with less coffee in the cup due to the all the water doesn’t come out or waste on the counter. The coffee pot looks nice but it’s made cheap. Definitely would never suggest anyone buying this. I threw my box away so probably can’t return. Included a pic of the grounds that I strained from 1 cup

Defective. After almost a week of usage, still didn't get a full cup of coffee. Only got about half or less amount of liquid as put in. Looked in water tank, no water, but if you turned it over in the sink, water poured out. Very disappointed. Took back for refund.

Maybe I got a bad one but the taste of coffee using this is just gawd awful. It has a plasticky taste to it. It really is undrinkable. It ain't my coffee's fault. I did about 5 run throughs just brewing water. Then I tried white vinegar and water. Nothing I did got rid of the bad plastic taste. Too bad cuz I like the design. Returned it. Buyer beware.

The box came damaged (I should have returned the item right away but decided to take the higher road). The strainer is broken (see pic). Biggest problem with the machine is it leaves coffee grain reside at bottom of the cup after brewing. Very disappointed. I have also not received my $$$ back yet!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS MACHINE. I cleaned the machine and all removable parts (cup and secondary filter) before use. Brewed a cup of coffee - and it tasted like plastic. Thinking there might be some residue from the manufacturing process, I ran the cup and secondary filter through the dishwasher and ran vinegar/water solution through the machine - flushed it with water 3X - and brewed another cup. It still tasted like plastic. It is a shame because I really wanted to like this machine!
