[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Straight out of the box this professional coffeemaker was so much lighter than it looked. The metal components were installed in the places where heat or wear and tear would make a difference(like the brew basket, hot plate and information/direction buttons). So often those buttons are a sticker that wear out. They are raised and so easy to operate whether you are setting the clock, brew time or boldness of coffee flavor. I liked the step down brew plate to keep the pot securely in place until you need it. As a safety feature, you can pause the brewing cycle if you want to pour a cup of coffee before the brewing is completed. Another well thought out feature is that if the brewing cycle is begun without the handled water reservoir it will stop brewing in 60 seconds. There is a pod water filter to keep the flavors true. The brewing basket swings out easily and uses a cone shaped paper filter. You can set the brewing strength from classic to robust. I prefer the middle flavor of bold as I use decaffeinated coffee most of the time. You can make 4 to 12 cups at a time and there is an included 2 Tbsp measuring scoop with suggestions to meet your unique flavor profile. The coffee can be kept warm from 10 minutes to 4 hours at low, medium or high. If you don’t choose a time it automatically sets for 2 hours. The coffeemaker tells you the time since the coffee was brewed. The coffee comes out smooth and that flavor is not altered through continued warming. It is easy to disassemble and clean. I am really impressed with the easy of use and the great coffee taste.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Professional Programmable Coffee maker and have a mixed review about it. First, Hamilton Beach makes quality, long lasting appliance's. This coffee maker is a tough one to review. It's a tall unit at 14" which didn't give me much clearance under my kitchen cabinets. At 7" wide, it's a good fit but it's 11" deep meaning it sticks out and takes up too much of my counter space. My main con is that the water reservoir has to slide over a clip on the back of the unit. It does have a handle to lift the unit off and fill with water but trying to set it on that clip is really inconvenient. I have to pull the unit out from under my cabinets ( it's got rubber feet) so it's not easy to move because it's also heavy. Then moving it back in place makes the water in the reservoir splash if the loose lid isn't properly in place. Mind you, this reservoir does not have a fixed lid to cover the water in it, you just set it on top...nope. I spend as much time trying to put that cover on so it doesn't come off as I do trying to seat the water unit itself. It would be much better if it were a "fixed" lid that flips up instead of a loose one that you set on top of the water. Brewing the coffee is a chore. This unit takes the cone style filters and they just don't set right in the brewer. They're too tall and every single time I've used it, it had flipped over and my coffee was full of grounds. Not a great way to start the day. And they filter door has a spring on it that you actually have to slam shut as a gentle push doesn't work, it won't work if it's not properly closed. As the coffee is brewing, I get a lot of condensation on that door which is a stainless steel finish. I have to keep wiping it off. Now setting up the timer to brew in the early morning is easy, you have options on how strong you want your coffee which is convenient. The clock setting is nice but I have a clock on my microwave, stove and now the coffee maker...just too much. The carafe is nice, it has a wide pour spout instead of the V shaped one on other makers. This unit definitely needs a redesign. Move the water reservoir to the side, lose the spring on the coffee grounds door, fix the filter space so it doesn't fall over during brewing and make it easier to move. I just can't get used to having to pull the unit out every night to fill with water, try to slide the water unit so it's properly in place, put the lid on, pray the coffee filter doesn't collapse during brewing and that the spring on the door doesn't snap from daily use. You can get a cup of coffee during brewing with the auto stop but there's always that one drop that hits the heating plate when you do. I do like the option to choose how long that plate stays hot. I guess I'm so used to my other name brand coffee maker that seeing and using this one is just to difficult to adjust to.

So far it has not impressed me. The brew temperature does not give me the temperature or the highest temperature possible. It takes more than fifteen minutes to brew. I am patient and will keep trying it for a few more weeks. I need your help in trying to get the temperature the highest it was advertise as.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned many coffee makers over the years and this is by far the best. You can set how strong you want the coffee, how hot you want it and how long the burner keeps the coffee hot. I program it so my coffee is ready and waiting when I get up. It is made high so it doesn't take up a lot of counter space. It even has a built in scoop. Did I mention you can remove the water chamber? Oh I love it. Easy cleaning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quality made coffee machine. It is definitely different than what I'm use to. It has a removable water container for easy filling and also makes it easier to clean. Displays time and also time lapsed since first brewing, auto shut off after 2 hours. Filters are different than the ordinary where they must be folded on the marked lines. Using unbleached filters gives off a fresh & satisfying taste. I really like this coffee machine and recommend it to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Hamilton Beach Professional Programmable Drip Coffee Maker makes the best tasting coffee. It looks great on my kitchen counter and doesn’t take up much space. The high brewing temperature makes the coffee better in my opinion. There are 4 brew strength options. The button selection on top is easy to use. It is so convenient to have the built in coffee scoop on top. The 60 oz. Water reservoir is easy to fill. I use this coffee maker daily. I program it before I go to bed so my coffee will be ready in the morning when I wake up. There is a pause and pour feature if you want a cup before it is done brewing. The basket swings open to easily put the coffee in the cone brew basket. The cleaning cycle reminder is great so I will never forget to clean it. This is a great quality coffee maker and I would recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this Hamilton Beach professional coffee maker . It makes a perfect cup of coffee every time with this coffee maker . ots programmable up to 24 hours for a fresh hot cup of coffee everyday. You can choose up to 4 brew strengths in case you like it extra strong or not so strong .. It keeps your coffee warm up to 4 hours that the one thing i love most it stays warm for several hours . It also has an indicator to let you know when to do cleaning cycle . I would absolutely recommend this coffee maker ..

I like Robust flavor in my coffee. This coffee maker brings out the flavor.

Good coffee. On the strong side which I prefer. Easy set up, easy to use.

Water tank lid should be hinged versus falling off like it does
