Hamilton Beach 5 Cup Drip Coffee Maker with Easy FrontFill Basket, Compact Design, Programmable Clock, Glass Carafe, Auto Pause and Pour, Black & Stainless Steel (46111)

DELICIOUS HOT ☕☕☕☕☕This little coffee maker is almost perfect. It makes good, hot coffee fast. I don't use the timer so I can't comment on that. The pitcher works fine. I think Hamilton Beach only has a couple of things to consider further with this one, which aren't really that big a deal for me so far. To address these things in a model update would make it even nicer.It needs a bigger water receptacle; the inside of the water chamber at the top where the water is poured is made in such a way that the water has to be added slowly enough so none will spill out over the sides while you're pouring it in - a minor inconvenience for me in a small coffee maker (I only make 1 or 2 cups at a time). If you have unsteady hands it could be a bigger problem for you, especially if you make a full pot every time. Hamilton Beach would have to make the opening big enough so water for 5 cups could easily be poured in with little overflow risk.The graduated water viewport would be better and easier to see if it was in front and not on the side, and made of clear plastic. It's awkward to pour the water and then have to crane your neck or turn the coffee maker to make sure you've got the right amount of water inside. The coffee maker is designed small enough to fit conveniently under kitchen cabinets and to have the water view in front makes more sense. Also with the port in front, it's a quick reminder if you like to set up your coffee maker the night before, that you already have water in. If the coffee maker was a little wider I think they'd have enough room to place a nice clear viewer in the front of a newer model - I personally have eyesight issues.Overall I really like this coffee maker. It performs very well and makes coffee very fast. I have a reusable filter basket for it I purchased separately on Amazon which fits perfectly, is durable and works fine, and is not expensive (search for 4 Cup Reusable Filter Basket by BRENSTEN, on Amazon; you can buy just one if you want).I'd tell anyone it's a good coffee maker but would explain that it still isn't perfect, but close.

I love this little coffee pot. It has all the features of a full size in a smaller version. It brews a full 5 cup pot quickly, has a warming base, and is programmable. Easy to fill water reservoir (just don't rush it), and a removable basket for cleaning. Other reviews mentioned the water indicator on the side being in a difficult to read location (on the side), which I could see being an issue for some. I brew an entire pot at a time, so this isn't an issue for me. Hope it lasts awhile because I really like using it.

Bought this for mom with the hopes it would be easy to use and obvious how to work it.Good choice. Easy to fill with water , easy to clean.Mom has no complaints...she likes it much better than the Mr. ***** that she had.

Very well designed, works perfectly, and so cute! I've used this for 3 or 4 days and so far I'm thrilled with it compared to my old Mr. Coffee that was also a 5-cup size (it was probably 8-10 years old and suddenly broke last week). It has a smaller footprint and way better design - I love the way you pour the water in front and that the pot doesn't dribble or spill like my old one did. My 4 cup paper filters from the grocery store fit perfectly. I'm really happy (so far) that I picked this one!

Pause N Serve doesn't work. Coffee kept pouring out onto the plate and counter.The numbers for setting the clock and the timer are too small and light. I had to use a flashlight and pick the whole thing up while setting the timer. Very awkward. I will contact the manufacturer.Instructions say to unplug every time, which means you have to reset the cock every time. See previous comment.Good fast coffee and nice compact design. But I bought this for the timer and pause features. I'm disappointed.

This is a great little coffee maker!!! I needed this for our RV and it is the perfect size . I must confess I thought it was not working correctly when I tried to program it Then after really looking at it there i a sticker o the front that blocks the time and the programming. I thought it was not working because nothing was changing!!! SO be aware there is a sticker over the screen where the time displays!!! LOL . I love that you can make the brew stronger or regular which is perfect for suç a small appliance.. The price was good, pleased that the basket opens in the front and not over the top for my need in the space for the RV. I highly recommend!!!!

This is a nice small machine for a good price. Makes a hot cup of coffee in about five minutes. Pot pours evenly with no drips. Easy to clean.Only one small issue and it is mentioned in the directions. The paper filter rim needs to be folded over a bit, notable by the short side of the filter basket, or it will have a tendency to collapse while brewing. Still worth five stars.
