Hamilton Beach 43501H 12 Cup Proctor-Silex Coffeemaker Review

Hamilton Beach 43501H 12 Cup Proctor-Silex CoffeemakerI've had this coffee maker for about a week and have used it every morning.It works just fine - quiet, simple, very basic.I especially appreciate the black fill markings inside where the water goes, this is so helpful to those of us with not-so-great vision.The only thing that I wish it had is a removeable lid on the carafe.Washing and drying the carafe would be so much easier if the lid snapped off.I've tried gently to take it from its hinge but it does not come away and I don't want to force it.UPDATE - I am now able to remove the lid for ease of washing and rinsing.I just had to sort of force it off one day and it has gotten easier now to take off and put back on.If they had said the lid was removeable in the instructions I would have tried sooner.

Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Black Review

Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker BlackThe 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.

Cuisinart DGB-300 Automatic Grind and Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker, White Review

Cuisinart DGB-300 Automatic Grind and Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker, WhiteSo, the good news is that the Cuisinart Automatic Grind and Brew makes GREAT coffee. It grinds the beans in an instant before brewing, and there are numerous settings on the machine, so that you can adjust the strength and temperature of the coffee, ensuring that it will be exactly to your liking. You can also pre-program the machine to make coffee for you in the morning (a miracle of modern technology). I have found the coffee produced by this machine to be smooth, not at all acidic ... about the best coffee I've ever had outside of Starbucks.
The BAD news is that this coffeemaker is a distinct pain to clean. There are lots of parts, each of which has to be removed and cleaned each and every time you want to brew a pot (you can't simply add a new filter and go). There is a lot of rinsing, and you have to make sure that the grinding basket is DRY before brewing another pot.
All of this, however, is worth it if you want great coffee, as the cost isn't that bad. There's something beautiful about being awakened in the morning by the sound of coffee beans grinding. Overall, I've been very happy with this product and would certainly buy it again if I had to do it all over.

Hamilton Beach 47214 12-Cup BrewStation, Black Review

Hamilton Beach 47214 12-Cup BrewStation, BlackI have had my BrewStation coffee maker for quite some time, and actually this is my second one.The first lasted almost a year before the power button quick working.We contacted Hamilton Beach, they sent us a free postage-paid return label along with a new machine. We did not even have to wait until they rec'd the old one before they would send the new one. Nice!

We have not had any problems with the new machine and we have had it for almost two years.No leaks, no fumbling with a glass pot, (which can cost more than the coffee makers they came with to replace when they break), no dribbling coffee down the side of your cup to the floor/counter.

For leak problems described in other reviews, make sure the rubber seal at the bottom of the carafe is intact and securely in place.It can become dislodged when cleaning.

I noticed what I thought was mold growing on the hinge of the lid, but it is just hard water deposits.You can lift the lid and press it back just enough to pop the plastic bar (hinge) out.Wipe the bar down on both sides with a dish cloth then easily pop it back into place.Do this during routine cleaning to eliminate the deposits from accummulating.

Krups KM1000 10-Cup Stainless-Steel Coffeemaker Review

Krups KM1000 10-Cup Stainless-Steel CoffeemakerSome have commented in their reviews that the coffeepot drips, that the pot itself is difficult to remove and replace into its alcove, or that the coffeemaker spontaneously turns on. I value the consumer reviews posted here and usually heed them, but I loved the look of this coffeemaker so much and could find no other brands to match the styling and features of the KM1000 that I decided to risk it and order.So far, I have experienced none of these problems, and have been very happy with my purchase.The Krups KM1000 is a great little coffeemaker that not only makes a great-tasting, piping hot cup of coffee but looks good while doing it.Programming is easy and the price is right.My only fault with Krups is that not even a sample pack of cone filters was included with the coffeemaker as a courtesy, so be prepared with size 4 cone filters if you want to start brewing out of the box.

Product Description:
Housed in durable stainless steel with a sleek graphite finish, this 10-cup coffeemaker provides an array of convenient features. Front and center, the machine offers an illuminated blue LCD analog-style clock and simple push-button controls for hour, minute, on/off, program, and auto. Easily set it to brew wake-up coffee or to have a pot ready and waiting to serve with dessert--without having to get up from the table in the middle of dinner. A 10-cup glass carafe with a generous stay-cool handle and a drip-free spout comes included for graceful serving. Removing the carafe pauses the brewing cycle and allows for pouring a quick cup mid-brew. In addition, the unit comes with a translucent water tank with dual water-level windows, a removable filter basket for easy cleaning, and a sophisticated look that will nicely compliment any kitchen decor. The coffeemaker measures 7-1/4 by 11-1/4 by 13-5/8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Krups KM8105 12-Cup Die-Cast Programmable Coffeemaker Review

Krups KM8105 12-Cup Die-Cast Programmable CoffeemakerI really wanted to love this pot, because of its looks and the fact that it did brew really good coffee.But it had annoying issues I could not get over.The carafe is designed like a dribble glass.Nomatter how careful we were, we could not pour from a full carafe or an almost empty carafe without spilling. Second, while using coffee ground specifically for an electric drop pot, we found that the machine consistently made a mess when brewing a full pot - the grounds would overflow the basket & be pushed up through the steam vents on the top of the machine.Also the machine I received did not support the advertised 2 automatic settings feature, even though the Krups box listed this as well as the Amazon add.The manual did not list this feature and the simple and intuitive programming menu didn't allow setting more than one start time.

I was grateful for Amazon's return policy, which made it easy to send this disappointing machine back.

Product Description:
Not only a sleek-looking addition to any kitchen counter, this commercial-quality coffeemaker also brews up to 12 cups of great-tasting coffee. The appliance features a durable die-cast metal body with a powerful 1100-watt heating system for reaching optimal brewing temperatures between 195 to 205 degrees F--great for extracting all the flavor without the bitterness. The unit's front-loading coffee drawer opens with a pull of the soft-touch handle and closes with a magnetic safety lock, offering easy access to the removable brew basket inside. It also provides a removable water tank with an integrated folding handle for easy transport to the sink for filling. Best of all, its large LCD screen provides an oversized angled display with soft-touch buttons for simple programming. Set the appliance to automatically brew wake-up coffee at a certain time on weekday mornings and at a later time on weekend mornings; its adjustable keep-warm mode allows for keeping coffee hot for one, two, or three hours before shutting off automatically. A 12-cup glass carafe comes included, complete with a stay-cool handle and drip-free pour spout. Other highlights include a water-filtration system for superior coffee flavor, an electronic descaling indicator, and an anti-drip system that prevents coffee from flowing with the drawer open during the brewing cycle. The coffee machine measures 8-1/2 by 8-3/4 by 13-1/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Krups FMF5 Coffee Maker Review

Krups FMF5 Coffee MakerI bought this Krups to replace a beloved Krups thermal carafe that sadly passed on. This new model features too many flaws. For one, the swing-open filter door doesn't always engage. Minor issue. If you pour your water into the machine too quickly, bubbles can form in the window, so you're never quite sure how much is in the machine. Further, my model always seems to leak both water and brewed coffee from the bottom of the machine. Granted, it's only the size of a quarter or half-dollar, but you don't expect this from a Krups. Finally, the carafe, itself, pours so broadly that leaks are inevitable. Sadly, this product does not live up to the Krups' reputation.

Product Description:
Combining appealing and distinctive design with a powerful, fully programmable brewing system, this 1100-watt coffeemaker brews up to 10 cups of coffee quickly and efficiently. Along with its bright, blue, illuminated LCD display, the unit's control panel offers simple push-button functions including "on/off", a fully programmable clock, a programmable timer/auto-on from one to five hours, and an aroma switch that can be set to maximize flavor for one to three cups when less coffee is desired. With a no-drip spout and a generous handle for easy pouring, the unit's double-wall stainless-steel vacuum carafe maintains flavor and temperature longer. A popular pause-and-serve function allows for pouring a cup midbrew, and an audible signal indicates when brewing is complete. The appliance includes a soft-eject swing-out filter holder for easily adding ground coffee, as well as a magnified water-level indicator for high visibility. The machine's 60-ounce water reservoir provides a built-in water filtration system that removes chlorine and lime scale build-up to ensure better tasting coffee and longer machine life, while its automatic electronic de-scaling indicator measures brew time and calculates when de-scaling is necessary. The coffeemaker measures 10-1/2 by 8-1/2 by 13-3/4 inches and carries a one-year warranty.
