Product Description

Customer Response

perfect if you're the only coffee drinker in the family
I first used the Hamilton Beach 4-cup model in a hotel room. It was small, simple, fast, and made piping hot and delicious coffee. For years, I have used a French press for my coffee at home, because I am the only coffee drinker in my house. Even with a double-walled French press, the coffee is cold before I am finshed. (I have a full-size drip machine with a thermal carafe for parties, but it is too big one person.)

So, I decided I would buy something like this for myself, and was delighted to find the exact model from my hotel room, because I already knew I would like it. I am very pleased with this machine. One commenter mentioned a drip when swinging out the basket to remove the grounds. Yes, this happens, but I am usually cleaning up when I do that and have a dish cloth with me anyway.

If you order this machine, you may also want to order the junior (4-cup) coffee filters, because that size isn't commonly stocked in supermarkets.

Bad Coffee
Makes lousey coffee, water dispenser is to small to wet all grounds-it shuts down to fast, need to reheat coffee in microwave, carafe is poor quailty, its not broke so can't return it, coffee isn't hot-way over priced for poor coffee. would not recommend to anyone

Hamilton Beach 4 cup coffee maker
Makes excellent coffee fast and hot. Warmer keeps the coffee hot, then shuts off after 1/2 an hour. Easy to clean, has cord storage. Only concerns, switch is a little hard to push and filters don't squeeze in the basket to well.

Unhappy w/this purchase. Very!
I've only owned this coffee maker for less than a month & it crapped out when I was craving for coffee. The only button/switch it has stopped working. When it worked, it made great coffee. I gave it 1 star for its appearance but that's it. If it looks good and can't make coffee, which is why I bought it in the first place, then it's no good. Why should I have to buy a replacement coffeemaker every month? Save $30 & get yourself the Elite Cuisine 4-Cup Pause-'n-Serve Coffeemaker - EHC2022. Copy & paste that above in your product search & you'll see a very reliable coffee maker indeed. Please don't make the mistake & buy this one. The Elite Cuisine model I mentioned was the one I used for work & gave it to my girlfriend who is still enjoying it. What a mistake! I should've given her this model instead. Here I am now without a decent cup of coffee before work. Now I have to wait for its replacement; the same model.

aroma elite !!!
This 4 cup coffeemaker by Hamilton Beach has really come in handy here in my hotel room! I am on vacation; but yesterday I started to come down with a bug and today I used this to make myself several piping hot cups of herbal tea. It couldn't be any easier to use--the visual instructions on the top of the reservoir are very, very easy to understand although as one reviewer notes the instructions do give the coffeemaker that "hotel look" which may turn some people off.

If I want to make myself some coffee instead of tea, this little machine doss the job every bit as well. Fill the carafe up to the amount of hot water you want (there are markings on the carafe to indicate how many cups you'll get from filling it up to different levels) and just pour the water into the reservoir. Add the coffee filter and ground coffee into the basket in the middle of the coffeemaker; and you're ready to go. After you're finished you can remove the coffee filter and any remaining grounds by simply sliding the basket to one side and that's that! Although another reviewer writes that some water comes out when they do this, I haven't experienced any water spilling onto the counter when I use this. In addition, the auto-turn off feature is quite good. It should prevent this from being a fire hazard.

All in all, this is a fine little coffeemaker that lets you prepare a great cup of tea as well. I highly recommend it.
