Hamilton Beach 49615C 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker Black

1. Clock works great, brews coffee when programmed to. 2. Makes great coffee! 3. Carafe pours without spilling coffee on the counter! 4. When you remove the carafe, it does not leak coffee onto the heating element. 5. The carafe fits comfortably in the machine - no jiggling to make sure it's centered, it just sits where it's supposed to sit - perfectly. 6. The carafe is sturdy, not made of "skinny glass" - I'm not afraid of breaking it while washing it. What more can you really ask for? The one tip I would give: Make sure the coffee filter is pressed evenly around the sides of the basket before you brew. The water comes out of a little sprinkler head above (not in a straight central stream), so if your filter is not flat against the sides, the water may catch it and bend it down. It's not an issue, as long as you just run your finger around the sides and press the filter flat before brewing. The sprinkler method makes better coffee, as it utilizes all the grounds instead of just the central ones. Saves wasting money on unused coffee grounds, too. Read more

I've had Bunn coffee makers for many, many years. Bought this because I didn't want to spend the nearly $100.00 for a new Bunn. I have to say this coffee maker is great. Just set the program and wake up to a great cup of coffee. I truly believe that because it brews slower than the Bunn it makes a richer more flavorful cup of coffee. The water doesn't scream through the grinds like they do with the Bunn. Read more

The Hamilton Beach 49615 12-Cup Coffee Maker arrived in perfect condition. It's appearance was exactly as the photo in the listing. I chose this after many years of using a major competitor's coffee maker (The reviews on this coffee maker were too good to ignore.), and am glad I made the change. It was easy to remove from the box and there was little assembly required. I've had several cups of coffee now, and can say this machine makes a consistently good cup of coffee. I've enjoyed being able to program ahead and have coffee waiting as needed. Once I was able to get the pot cleaned (The one surprise I had! There was a film layer around the inside upper half of the coffee pot that required some extra scrubbing and running through the dishwasher twice before it was totally removed.), maintaining the cleanliness has been simple. In-fact, daily cleanup is extremely quick and easy. I'm glad I made the switch to Hamilton Beach, and plan to use this coffee maker for many years to come! Read more

I've had this coffeemaker for 5 years or so now. It has survived several moves between dorms and apartments and houses, and continues to do what a coffeemaker does best. Definitely worth the price. Read more

Good coffee, reasonable price finally! Easy to program for time, timed brew, coffee strength (we like bold) and number of cups. Coffee tastes great, warmer turns off after two hours, keeps coffee drinkable hot, but no burnt taste. Read more

Bought this for my husband since I broke the carafe on the coffeemaker we had for years. I'm not a coffee drinker, but had I not ordered him a new machine I would have had to make him two cups at a time in those little coffee presses. Bought it at a great price during Amazon Day from the Amazon Warehouse section of the website, and actually didn't know in what condition it would arrive. Was absolutely thrilled the only problem was no original packaging. Did have the instructions. And because I refuse to attempt to work the new coffeemaker for fear that I'll break something, I no longer have to make him coffee each morning. Read more

The coffee maker was here before I was expecting it and that was terrific. It is very nice and makes good coffee. my group drained the pot this morning. Read more

I didn't think I'd find a coffee maker that could replace my old Krups, but this one works great! Love it! Read more
