Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Black Review

The carafe pours smoothly without dripping all over everything and the basket cover drip is stopped by steam release vents. The cone filter improves coffee flavor and eliminates the grounds from overflowing. Now I don't ask myself if I really turned off the coffee pot after I leave. I have experienced a black charred carafe but no more potential fires. It has the coffee ready in the morning giving me extra precious minutes. The basket placement issue is easily solved by leaving the carafe off the hot plate until the basket is properly installed. The black stainless is sharp and does not show the coffee stain that makes the white look dirty. Love this inexpensive pot and bought a second one to improve my daily experience while at our cabin.

West Bend 56870 10-Cup Drip Coffeemaker, Black and Stainless Review

I bought this via amazon for the price, stainless steel, and programable features.The upper handle clip broke in a month.West Bend had no replacement clip and put me on a waiting list.When there was coffee all over the counter this morning, I went right out and threw the whole thing, with still hot spilled coffee, right in the trash can.I went to the cellar, and got my old no feature procter silex (under a sawbuck at target) and made my morning coffee.Only those wishing personal agravation should throw away their hard eraned money on this landfill junk.

BrewStation Deluxe 12 Cup Coffeemaker Review

I really like this machine.I like the design, the convenience and the coffee it makes, BUT...I bought one of these a few years ago and loved it - until it started leaking.There were several times that I'd start it brewing, come back 10 minutes later and find coffee all over the counter and floor. I cleaned the valve regularly and still had the problem.I bought a different machine after that one, but didn't like it nearly as well.So I'm taking a chance again...making sure to keep it clean to that nothing accumulates that could make the valve stick.It's only been about 6 weeks, but I haven't had any problems.

Hamilton Beach 48464 Brewstation Summit 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Review

Purchased to replace our Brewstation Deluxe, which we absolutely loved!The only reason we did not purchase another one exactly like our old one is because of the leaking problem.About 1x/year we would need to replace the 'carafe' portion of the coffeemaker.The Summit was the 3rd replacement model we tried.It is the only other model that has all of the features that the Deluxe had (programmable auto shut-off & timer, brewing cycle selection).I agree with the previous post that it is a bit more awkward to fill.But, the biggest problem I have with it is the coffee basket.It has about 50 holes in the bottom for the water/coffee to flow out of the basket.The result is a very weak-tasting coffee because it flows through so quickly.I can't understand why this model is made like this when other models have only one hole!There is no way to even use enough coffee to get a strong flavor, even when putting it on 'Bold' setting, which slows down the brewing cycle.I figured out how to solve this problem by purchasing a permanent filter basket to use inside the other basket, plus using a paper filter.This adds to the awkwardness of the whole process, but we are so hooked on this style of machine that are willing to put up with it. It is also messier than the Deluxe because of all of the condensation inside.When you lift the lid water runs down (but mostly back into the carafe), and when you take out the basket there is condensation all over it and it drips trying to get it to the trash or sink.I also just noticed one of the buttons to set the time is sticking.Well, maybe I should go back to the Deluxe...

Product Description:
Uniquely designed without a coffee pot, this 12-cup coffeemaker features, instead, an insulated tank that keeps coffee hot and fresh inside. To serve, simply depress the non-slip dispensing bar with any favorite mug for one-handed dispensing--no carafe means no pouring, no spills, and no hotplate that can sometimes scorch coffee or make it bitter. The appliance also provides a user-friendly push-button control panel. Choose from several brewing options including bold, regular, iced coffee, or small batch (1 to 4 cups). Even more, the unit's programmable clock and timer allow for brewing "wake-up" coffee, while its keep-warm mode can be programmed to automatically shut off immediately after brewing (for iced coffee) or in one, two, three, or four hours as desired. Other highlights include a large digital display with blue backlighting, a removable water tank for filling at the sink, a water-level indicator on both sides, and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. Housed in sleek black plastic with stainless-steel accents, the coffeemaker measures approximately 12 by 9 by 17 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Michael Graves Design™ Automatic Drip Coffeemaker - Black (40304) Review

I purchased this coffeemaker at our local Target store a few weeks ago after reading the rave reviews that this coffeemaker received on this site.I will be returning it tomorrow.

First of all, and I doubt anyone would dispute this, the coffeemaker looks great.In fact, I would go so far as to say that it is absolutely beautiful!But there are major functional design flaws with this product.

First, and I haven't a clue why this happens, fresh coffee seems to find a path down the handle of the decanter handle, then drips on the counter.If we make about 10-12 cups of coffee there is a puddle of three or four tablespoons of coffee on the counter right below the decanter handle.Nothing I've tried stopped this problem.The best I could tell is the decanter is designed in such a way that coffee dripping into the decanter can follow a patch from the lid to a small space by the handle, then down the handle to drip on the counter.Maybe the decanter is defective, but it is a headache none-the-less.

The next problem is the bright blue light.I'm not sure how much electricity that thing consumes, but I'm sure it is not just a little bit.You can cook dinner by the light output of this thing.It will be neat at first, then you may find it annoying.

I'm not sure why they designed the lid system they way they did, but, as another reviewer mentioned, there will be condensation everywhere when you try to clean-up.Not only is the condensation a problem, there are several ridges and tight areas in the lid/water distribution system above the filter that are almost impossible to clean.It seems like the design would lead to the growth of mold and mildew.

Finally, as others have stated, it is really difficult to get a consistently good cup of coffee from this machine.No matter what I do it still comes out weak.Even the button for "strong" coffee doesn't solve this problem.With coffee prices the way they are I don't want a machine that will require 20-30 percent more ground coffee consumption when I could get the same quality with another machine.

I know a lot of customers have had a positive experience with this product, but I give it a thumbs down after a few weeks of daily use.

UPDATE:On May 22nd I attempted to return this coffee maker to the local Target in Corpus Christi, Texas but for some reason their receipt look-up system was not working properly.After waiting almost a half hour I got fed up and told them to keep the money and the coffeemaker.I was out about $40.00, but at that point I just wanted to get on with my life;this reflects life in Corpus Christi, not Target stores as a whole.

I went back to look at other coffeemakers and surprise, surprise!The Michael Graves Drip Coffeemaker had been redesigned! The coffeemaker sold here with this photo is NOT THE CURRENT MODEL OF THIS COFFEEMAKER!!!The new version (that may have corrected the coffee coming out the handle issue) is silver plastic and the decanter has a strip of "brushed" metal on the pouring handle.If your maker doesn't have that, you have an older version!!!

Based on my experience with the dripping handle, I'm not sure why they wouldn't offer a recall.Maybe the issue wasn't frequent or serious enough.Have they solved the issues with the weak coffee after using excessive amounts for a brew?Who knows?

Hamilton Beach HDC500B 4 Cup Coffee Brewer Review

My old 4-cup Mr. Coffee was a decent little coffeemaker and it lasted for about three years before it started to give me trouble. Technically it still works but the coffee it brews is only warm, not hot.So I decided it was time for a new machine.

I did a lot of research, and the fact of the matter is that there just aren't many good quality 4-cup coffeemakers on the market.I researched the models from Mr. Coffee, Cuisinart, and Black & Decker, and none of them got particularly good reviews.I went to local stores and played with the display models and all of them felt very light, flimsy, and cheap.Even the $40 Cuisinart was featherweight and felt like it would fall apart at any moment.

I've always had good luck with Hamilton Beach products, so when I found this one online, I had a good feeling about it.I did some more research and found that this particular model is used in hotels all over the country.That seemed like a good sign.Commercial grade products are usually built to a higher standard than consumer grade stuff.

So I ordered it, and sure enough, it's a major step above the 4-cup machines made by the other manufacturers.Even though it's made mostly of plastic, it is heavy and stable and definitely won't tip over easily. The power cord is heavy grade and has a 3-prong plug.The on/off switch has a nice spring action and seems durable.

Due to the fact that these are made for hotel rooms, there are picture-based instructions in white ink on top of the coffeemaker.If you are very concerned about appearances, this might bother you.It doesn't bother me.The #1 thing I'm concerned about is how the coffee tastes... and with that in mind...

It tastes great!It's very hot, much hotter than my old Mr. Coffee.But the water isn't TOO hot, so you don't need to worry about it making the coffee bitter and over-extracted.

I only have two complaints, and they are relatively minor: when you're finished brewing coffee and you open the basket holder to remove the grounds and filter, a small amount of water falls out and splashes onto the warming plate and onto the counter.It's not a huge amount of water -- maybe a teaspoon -- but it does do this every time I brew coffee.Just something to be aware of; have a paper towel handy and it's not a problem. My other complaint is that there is no way of knowing how much water is in the reservoir. Usually they have a little window or some other indicator, but this unit doesn't have either. Mildly annoying, but not a huge issue and obviously doesn't affect the coffee itself.

All in all, I'm very pleased with this coffeemaker and would recommend it to anyone who is searching for a good quality 4-cup machine.

Hamilton Beach 40616 Stainless-Steel 12-Cup Electric Percolator Review

Before I purchased this coffee pot about a year ago, I read reviews by others who said 'good coffee but lasted only a few months.'I thought to myself...'oh, those people must have been the unlucky few who got bad units...or they emersed the pot and ruined it.'I should have listened to their 'don't buy' pleas, and hope others will listen to my message of warning.

I loved this coffee pot.Rich, strong, hot coffee, and great classic looks.My only complaint was that compared to other percolators I've used, this one is noisy.It makes a loud popping sound while brewing.I never emersed the unit, and was always very careful to avoid letting any water get near the base of the unit when washing it.

I bought this pot a year ago, and used it about twice a MONTH.Yesterday morning, I attempted to make coffee but got only the same 'beige water' that others have reported.Tried again today thinking maybe it was just a fluke, and got a second pot of luke warm 'beige water.'

I suspect that others who posted initially positive feedback about this pot have had the same experience, but just haven't returned to update their reviews.In any case, I would strongly caution against the purchase of this pot.It's just not durable.
