Hamilton Beach Front Fill 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe - 46391

I have used this coffee maker for about 2 weeks and it has performed as advertised so far.

Just bought and tried to make my first pot of coffee, but thermal carafe leaks around the black plastic and the stainless steel bowl.

The coffee maker just does not make a hot pot of coffee. it also implied that you could program it to make 1-4 cups. That just means you have to measure the water when you pour it in, and hope there was no residual in the reservoir.

Very disappointed. Coffee was like warm after the first cup.

Great, simple to use coffee maker! So easy to set up. Thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours. We love the front load for water. Makes it easy to fill for use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hamilton Beach 12 cup coffee maker with carafe is a nice addition to anyone’s kitchen. The pre-programmable feature is a big help In the morning when you’re trying to get out the door in a hurry. I really like that you can keep the leftover coffee warm and the hideaway cord tucks everything away nice and neatly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not only is this coffee maker sharp-looking and modern in design, it's a pleasure to use. I LOVE the brew strength option (I like mine BOLD), and it's easy to program so that coffee is ready when I get up in the morning. The BEST feature is the thermal carafe. I can turn off the coffee maker, and the thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours (while looking good at the same time! :-) No more coffee with that "burnt" flavor from being heated too long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee maker is a stylish addition to my kitchen. It is easy to use and makes a good cup of coffee to start the day. It is nice to be able to pour the water without having to access the whole maker. The carafe keeps the coffee hot hours. Since the carafe is made of stainless steel, you don't have to worry about it breaking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this coffeemaker. I want to LOVE this coffeemaker. It has some wonderful features, namely the front-loading water reservoir, the stainless carafe and beautiful display. But it's a trade-off. There is a LOT of plastic on this particular model – too much so, I think. It seems cheaply made because of that, which takes away from the whole idea of the stainless accents. The lid on the carafe is a bit of a struggle. It doesn't fit exactly right and is difficult to lock in position at times. The swing-out filter is also difficult to lock back in every now and again. And like other models, there is no battery back up for the clock, which means you need to reset it if you unplug it. I love the carafe, itself. The different brew settings are nice. It makes a pot of coffee fairly quickly and the metal filter is wonderful. You don't need to use a paper filter with it. All in all, it's a good coffeemaker. I hope Hamilton Beach can make a few improvements to this model and they'll have an excellent product. Thank you for the opportunity to review it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee maker is one of the best I’ve ever owned. Not only does it keep the coffee hot long after it’s off, but makes an excellent cup of coffee. I like the swing out coffee basket holder it makes filling the ground coffee easy and that it locks in place. The front fill water reservoir is genius and makes it easy to fill. The carafe has a lid that locks. It was a bit tricky at first to figure out but I have no problems with it now, it has a lot to do with where to place the lid to get it to lock. I love the way it looks and all the options it has, like having the coffee start timed to have coffee ready when I get up in the morning and making the coffee bold or regular. I absolutely love this coffee maker and couldn’t be happier.
