Hamilton Beach Ensemble 12-Cup Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe, Red

In my gazillion years of coffee drinking, I've been through them all: Bunn, Mr. Coffee, Westinghouse, you name it...This was my first Hamilton Beach. It is the best coffee maker I have ever had. Absolutely NO Drips when you pour. Fast brew times, easy-to-set timer. There isn't a bad thing about this machine. I highly, highly recommend it!!! UPDATE: OCT 31. Still absolutely no problems with my Hamilton Beach. The carafe cleans easily, the machine is simple to operate, and I haven't had one drip when pouring. My 5 stars still stands! UPDATE: FEB 14. The first problem with my coffee machine has reared its ugly head. One of the best features of the machine is the brew timer. Mine goes on at 3:15 am, I leave for work at 6:20 am, and with the 2 hour cycle, I only have to push it off and on once to get the burner to stay hot until I'm done with the pot. When I got home yesterday, the blue lights indicating that indicate whether or not the burner/coffee pot is on, were off. Problem is, the burner was still hot - 11 hours AFTER it should have gone off. The only way to get the burner to turn off was to unplug the machine. I will be very wary of this, but man, I really like this coffee maker, and am kind of bummed that it should do this. UPDATE: JUNE 23. Our house still stands, nothing has burned down or caught fire!! There have only been a couple of times when the coffee maker refused to turn itself off - we just got in the habit of setting the carafe on the counter when we poured our last cup of the morning! In the last several months, we haven't had any trouble at all. I'll buy another one when/if this one goes out. It still looks good and makes darn good coffee!! UPDATE: OCTOBER 22, 2013. We have passed the year mark with the coffee maker, and I can honestly say that with other coffee makers we would be considering a replacement. Not so here. Everything still works perfectly, the warmer keeps the coffee just as hot as the day we bought it, it brews just as well, and is still as easy to clean. The timer and clock still work - it's been an excellent machine for under $30. When this one gives up the ghost, I'd have no problems going with another Hamilton Beach! UPDATE: JANUARY 12, 2015. We are still using the coffee maker! Nothing has burned down, though occasionally, it refuses to turn itself off and we have to unplug it. Still brews great, easy to clean. No problems at all. 2 years and 3 months and still going strong!

If your looking for a Delicious cup of coffee without all the bells and whistles , buy this fine coffeemaker! I've used it several times a day for the last month ( I drink a lot of coffee) and it has not once failed to make an exellent brew..In the morning during the week,I brew a full pot of cheaper coffee for my thermos and on weekends the gourmet blend, so far full rich flavor and piping hot from all varietys- Everytime! I also like the style and nice red colored housing w/ the stainless steel trim, looks great on my kitchen counter..A nice touch by Hamilton Beach as most appliance's today are very generic looking..The controls are straight forward and foolproof..the timer sets easy and a blue light indicates it's active..a brew strength selection is also included which definitely works well,just takes longer to brew your coffee but well worth the wait!

It's a coffee maker and it makes coffee, with a bold option that makes me happy, and it keeps time well (some of them ... not so much) It's easy to set up initially and to program. It makes 1-3 pots of 8-12 cups a day (usually 2 pots) and has for over a month with no problems, so I can't complain, especially for the price. Some things to note: There's a lip on the inside of this carafe, so washing it isn't as easy as some of the ones with just the dimpled pour spouts. The plastic feels just a bit wobbly on the carafe but it's holding up (I held off reviewing to see if it would; no issues). Check the measurement of the carafe height to your faucet - it never occurred to me it would be of issue, but it doesn't fit as easily as the past ones have. The carafe jostles the brew basket every time, especially before it's brewed. It's just a minor annoyance trying to get it seated or pulling it out to wash and refill, with periodic hangups. The maker lid hinges on the back and has to open all the way to pour water into the machine and stay open for filling the basket - it won't prop straight. The cord is long enough to not make it an issue for us, but if you're used to one that only opens a 6" circle, make sure you have the counter space or clearance overhead if there are cabinets above. There's a funnel of sorts to the water reservoir, with a fairly narrow hole. I personally don't spill/dribble as much water with this carafe style, but it does require being right over that hole (again, clearance could be an issue in some kitchen setups) and there's not a good way that I can find to get in there to clean the reservoir. The color is very primary red, not as deep red as some of the images make it seem (I don't care - like, it really doesn't bother me and I have no problem replacing the current toaster with the red HB to match it since the toaster is on its last legs - but some might and it was the first thing a couple of people noticed after having cranberry and brick and deeper red machines slide in and out without comment before). The "bold" setting is faster than most other coffee makers I've had with that option. (Yay!) All in all, I'm pretty pleased with it and can't beat it for the money.

Does not keep coffee hot, it'a more just a warm brew after 10 minutes.
