Mothers little helper
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.

Definitely a Winner!
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.

An attractive addition to the kitchen counter
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.

So pleasantly surprised!
First, I have to say that I have been using coffee pods for years. When I received the coffee maker, I thought, well I’ll give it a try. I tried it and I love it!! It is so simple to use that I didn’t need the directions, however I read them anyway. I have tried regular and decaf, both are so good. It does say in the directions to brew decaf set on bold. Tried it both ways, definitely set it on bold. I love the permanent filter, so easy to use and clean. The pot looks nice and stays hot for awhile. Setting the time couldn’t be simpler and programming delay start is so easy. I like the front fill so I don’t have to pull it out on the counter. Now, the important part, the coffee is so good. I use whatever coffee is on sale and they all come out great. I made a little coffee area on my counter and the Hamilton Beach coffeemaker looks great!

One of the best coffee makers I have ever owned!
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.

Trade-Off
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.

Programmable Front-Fill Coffee Maker
I got my Front-Fill 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe Stainless Steel Accents about 14 days ago. The coffee basket comes with removable basket so you don’t need filter papers. Ifyou choose not to use this number 4 cone filter papers will work. There is an option to make 12 cups or 4 cups. Also you can program it to make coffee at a designated time after setting your time. There is immediate auto shutoff. The thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot and fresh longer. I found this coffee maker is easy to use and looks great. It is good to go back a few hours later and still get hot coffee.
