There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So... enter the sub-$50 price-bracket. The average "standard" coffee maker with a clock and timer is about $30. What does an extra $10-15 get you with the Hamilton Beach 46201?
With the help of another reviewer, I see that cheaper makers sometimes utilize cheaper thermostat systems. The same high-heat that makes the water hot enough to extract coffee from the beans, also controls the temperature of the burner. The reviewer suggested this was a source of bitterness because the coffee at the bottom of the pot is burning. *shrug* I don't know about the science of thermodynamics, but I do know that coffee is tasting great out of this new pot I'm reviewing here!
The obvious benefits of this maker are the removable water tank ("reservoir" is too hard to spell)... the water tank is pretty cool. I didn't think I'd be filling the maker by removing the tank, but as it turns out after a week of using it... this is what I do naturally. There is a nice lip which accommodates your grip easily, and after filling the tank by first filling the pot, and pouring in... I've decided it's easiest to simply fill the maker as the designer's intended. If you have trouble accepting this and just want to flip open the lid and pour water in from the pot as you always have... well, it's MUCH easier to do that with this maker also! The tank lid flips open allowing a wide-open, unobstructed pour. My previous Mr. Coffee maker has a stupidly designed, complicated plastic grate that you have to pour water through... so I'm doing a bit of a marksman pour... actually having to THINK about how I'm pouring water into the maker (in the tired, wee-hours of the morning)... THIS maker... ends all that.
I like the swing-out filter basket... and I really like STANDARD FILTERS! I went through the cone filter phase... nope, never again. I just never tasted the benefit. The filters cost more, and you have to sort of "prep" each filter that you use... whereas the normal filters fall in place effortlessly. I realize we're not talking about actual work here either way... but if there's no appreciable benefit to something that costs a little more and requires a little more effort... I'll take cheap, good, and easy... thank you very much.
NO DRIP POT! The first time you pour a cup from this pot I guarantee you'll grin... Holy Smokes... why in the heck don't all manufacturers at least try to steal this no-drip pot design? The little bar of plastic that goes across the spout combines with the spout shape to make a perfect pour, every time. Hey Hamilton Beach! Do you want me to make a great commercial for this maker? I have lots of ideas :-)
I also like the little wheels on the bottom of the maker. The Mr. Coffee maker this one is replacing had rubber "no-slide" feet. WHO leaves their maker tucked away so that it steams up the bottom of your wood cabinets? Nope, you pull it out a bit... the thing NEEDS to slide around. Hamilton Beach (or the designer of this maker) deserves a pat on the back for that little detail.
The buttons stick out a bit, which I like more than the flush-buttons that seemed more of a style choice on my last maker. There's a positive "tactile" feel to them, not effort to push, but a satisfying "click" response. I've had other makers with buttons that don't always react, or I had to push a specific part of the button. This is simple, and functional. I like things that simply work.
The clock display is great. I prefer an LED where the numbers are lit vs. the background being lit. In normal household lighting, the clock is EASY to read. This is great for people of all ages. Also... notice the clock and all controls are at the TOP... vs the bottom of the maker, or running down one side.
I'm not usually a fan of extended warranties, but with my past-experience with Mr. Coffee (see my other reviews, I loved my last Mr. Coffee maker so much that I bought one for my Mom... Well... her's crapped out in about 3 months... and mine became "problematic" in roughly 9 months... so EXTENDED WARRANTY HERE I COME!)... Anyway, Canopy Warranty offered by Amazon was only $4. I'm sure there will be a little BS involved if I ever make a claim, but here's hoping it goes well. I'm hoping I never need the warranty, but for $4 I like the peace of mind.
Here's the important point about this maker vs. the Mr. Coffee maker, which I was also enthusiastic about when I first got it... so much so, that I bought one for my Mom too. If that last maker was Mr. Coffee... THIS maker is Dr. Coffee. This make is so well-designed... so well thought-out... that I really WANT it to last 3 years! Mostly, I hope Hamilton Beach continues to offer a maker like this... at an "every-man" price. Asking roughly 25% more for a maker that's 100% better? That's easy money... I will gladly pay a little more for anything SMART.
After 3 days of using this maker... I was so impressed with the design features that I bought two more, one for my Mom and one for my brother... both with the extended warranty. For the next 3 years we have a nice little product test pool going :-)
I just received this coffee pot yesterday, cleaned it out, ran it through a few empty cycles and ready to use it today. I got the gold reusable filter basket as well. I noticed a few small metal bits in my Gold Tone filter after running the first cycle of plain water - so I do recommend that you run this through a few cycles before using it for coffee - just to clean everything out from manufacturing. I brewed a few pots of coffee for the family today on Bold, used fresh ground coffee from Costco (I only use whole bean and grind what I need for coffee each day) and the result was perfect! Works great, great coffee, plenty hot and no issues.
Noise - some mention that there is noise as the cycle finishes - ok so theres is a little - not no more than when my Cuisinart finished. My Cuisinart made a beep when it was done - annoying! But this one just has a little extra steam and noise when it finishes the last drop of water - great to know when the coffee is ready! So to me this is fine and expected.
Separate Water Reservoir - to me this is a MUST. That was a requirement in finding a new coffee pot. This one works great - comes out easy, easy to fill and most important - I can clean it when I want. Also has no issues with any spilled water -works perfect! The issue with coffee pots that have a fixed water reservoir - you can't effectively clean them at all! I never noticed this until recently. My kids broke my glass pot from my 8 year old Cuisinart DCC-1200 so I was just going to buy a new one. BUT - then I happened to look inside my water reservoir and WOW was that disgusting - we use vinegar to clean it regularly but if you never looked in your reservoir - you don't realize how gross it can get over time. Take your SmartPhone Flash Light and shine it in there and look - you will be shocked at how bad it gets in there. The Cusisinart's water tank is wrapped around the whole unit - so trying to clean it is impossible - I tried - there are places you just can't get to - so in the garbage with it!!!! I will never buy a coffee pot without a Separate Water Reservoir that can very easily be cleaned. Sorry for the rant - but this is important for those of us that are OCD about stuff like this!
The one negative I have is the Coffee Glass Pot - it has a plastic ring around the top of the glass that is glued on - so getting the last bit of water out is difficult as others have mentioned and keeping it clean - under the plastic ring will be more difficult but it's minor - I can live with this - but wish it was just glass at the top! It is dishwasher safe and so are the coffee filter and filter holder. The only thing you can't put in the dishwasher is the Separate Water Reservoir - you need to hand clean this - no problem. I typically will do this one a month as needed. Anything that holds water over time gets a slimy film on it - so it's good to keep it clean!
Use - the coffee pot is easy to use - easy to turn with plastic wheels on bottom to add water - or simply open the top of the Separate Water Reservoir and poor in without removing - but I have cabinets overhead - so the turn and remove to fill works better for me.
Overall - for the money - this is a great coffee pot so far. If I have any issues - I will update my post!
