Hamilton Beach 2-Way Coffee Maker: Brew Delicious Single-Serve and 12-Cup Pots of Coffee

M. Borne: This coffee maker has no problems, it makes the coffee, the same way, the same time, every morning. I've had to buy 3 now because about 4 yrs ago 1 for me, 1 for my girlfriend : ) But a couple months ago she told me it stopped working for some reason. Hmmm. Anyway i asked if she wanted the new one to be something different and she said no no no, told me to buy same one! lol. So I did and she's happy coffee drinker again. TG because when she doesnt have her coffee in morn, well...lets just say I ordered this new one asap! These are priced right, last long time, no issues with buttons or power or taste or anything like that with these. It's just a perfect coffee pot in my opinion and for us there's no need for any other brands, model or type of coffee makers out there.

Sherry carter: My hubby was excited to have the option for a pot or a single cup. We just aren’t all that impressed with the single serve side. The coffee doesn’t taste great. Totally different than in the pot. You have to take these silly parts to get your cup where it’s needed and your balancing a cup on little round pieces that fit in the coffee pot. They don’t click in place. It’s just sorta cheap but in a pinch it’s still handy. We love the regular pot side. My husband says the timer is great and he’s still overall happy with it.

Bridget: Coolest and most inexpensive coffee maker ever! It does look on the cheap side but who cares, it does the job! My husband goes to work earlier than I do so he makes the coffee for the time he has to go to work. When I would get my coffee it was not as hot and I hated reheating it. I came across this coffee pot and it solved our issues. He takes his cup that brews to his timer and as soon as I wake up I hit my button for my pot and it’s nice and hot just as I like it! Best thing ever for an amazing prize!

Dana Cunningham: 2nd update-I received a replacement coffee maker today. I cleaned it and ran 12 cups through three times and it worked wonderfully. I gave it 4 stars because customer service deserves a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, but product only gets ⭐⭐⭐ because I had to get a replacement.

I also ran water through the individual cup side and I'm happy to say that the same amount of water that went in ended up in my cup.

Update: The service department got back to me and is sending me a replacement. Hopefully, this one won't leak. I'm changing my rating to a 3 star because of the response from customer service. If this pot doesn't leak I will upgrade again.

Pro - the coffee is a good temperature.

Con - It leaks!!! I tried making a full carafe (12 cups) for the first time, and was intentional to make sure I stayed just under the 12 cup line. When I went to get some coffee I had 10 cups in the carafe and 2 cups all over my counter. I went on line and followed the video on what to do if it leaks.

I followed the video and used,12 cups of plain water to rinse the vinegar out and once again only 10 cups in the carafe and 2 on my counter. I tried again, this time only using...

Karla del Rosario Aburto Guzmán: Me encantó la opción de hacer café para una taza, es una maravilla porque no ensucias la jarra cuando quieres nada más 1 taza

Raúl: Había leído comentarios respecto al fuerte olor y sabor a plástico y aunque podría ser cierto, basta con un buen lavado antes de utilizarlo para evitarlo. Muy práctica cafetera al poder preparar una jarra convencional o una aporción individual con solo un termo. En mi caso tengo un termo Contigo de 20oz y aunque el depósito individual de agua tiene suficiente capacidad, por su altura, el termo "cabe" solamente quitando la charola inferior. Todo bien hasta aquí. El pequeño problema es que la base sin charola tiene una "muesca" que evita que permanezca completamente perpendicular, sin embargo bastará solamente con "calzarlo" o limar esta pequeña muesca. Ojo, esto solo es para termos muy altos, creo que la mayor parte no tendrá problemas, pero solo para considerarlo. También sin problema podrías preparado del lado de la jarra.
En mi caso la compré en el buen fin y me costó $900.00 MXN

Ben PowellBen Powell: This the best coffee pot I've ever owned, seriously. I appreciate good coffee and regularly buy beans from a local roastery. I am not a barista nor do I claim to be a coffee expert. I enjoy good coffee and a drip coffee maker is good enough for my daily habit.

This maker can be used to brew single cups on one side or a full pot on the other side. Typically, I am the only coffee drinker in my house. Sometimes we have guests. This coffee maker allows me to serve both situations easily.

To use the single serve side, I fill the cup that I'm planning to use with the correct amount of tap water and add it to the single serve side of the maker. This is accessed from the top under a small lid that flips up. This side is designed to only hold enough water for a single serve amount of water. I don't use manufactured pods as I prefer fresh grounds but this maker apparently can handle pods too. I grind my beans or use pre-ground coffee and add that to the slide out tray on the single serve side just above the cup location. There is a metallic mesh screen that holds the grounds on the single serve side and I find that I waste less coffee than when I try to make only 1 or 2 cups...

Kay Net: I did a couple of water-only runs through it just to try to get any manufacturing oil/residue or anything out of it (i don't think this is required but read that its helpful) and initially was pretty disappointed - didn't taste great or seem any better than my old, cheap one. But after the first couple dozen pots I've made it started to taste better and now am digging it. One thing I'm still not sure about is that if you leave coffee on the heating pad too long after brewing is that it doesn't taste great - SEEMS to stay maybe a bit too hot? But if you drink it within the first 15-20 minutes after brewing its quite good.

Sturdy build - easy to clean and prepare. The single brew cup has been pretty handy at times as well - the included reusable filter is perfect for this - haven't noticed any sort of flavor bleeding (where taste from coffee in carafe side blends into single serve side, etc). You can only brew carafe side or single serve side one at a time - please be aware. Not a problem for me as I only do one at a time anyway.

Will say it does prepare the coffee really fast and the 'Strong brew' setting actually makes a difference too (that is - it actually makes...

Ross Bateman: For many years, the best-tasting and most flavourful coffee we ever made has been with our Drip-O-Lator, made by Enterprise Aluminum in Macon Georgia. We bought this for cottage-use a long time ago--when they were still being made--at Robinson's General Store in Dorset Ontario. Later, we bought another, and then, they disappeared from the market. It was very cheap to buy and is simple to use: Measure the amount of cups you want into the middle of three graduated marked canisters; pour the required amount of boiling water into the upper marked canister, and wait a bit until it dribbled through into the bottom part of the coffee pot. Later, we had it dribble directly into a thermos butler, rather than into the pot on the wood stove. When we could get it, we used fresh spring water gushing from a woodsy hillside outcrop. That is a perfect coffee, always, fresh-ground or pre-ground---either way.

When our Cuisinart maker with the built-in grinder stared leaking all over the counter at home, I research all available options for a new one. We took a chance on this Hamilton Beach, with mostly(not all) good ratings noting its low price. This machine, in its first days of use, rivals...
