 No frills or drips coffee maker April 12, 2008

Before purchasing the HB 43254 Classic Stainless 12 cup coffee maker I read the reviews like I normally do before making any purchase. I decided to purchase this coffee maker knowing that there may be some minor issues with it - what doesn't these days? After many years of buying coffee makers I have found there is no "perfect" coffee maker that will make everyone happy. You just need to decide what is important to you and your family. That said, after about three weeks of use I found it to be exactly what I was looking for - it makes HOT coffee, the carafe DOESN'T drip and I didn't need to use a manual to set up the clock and timer! If this is what you are looking for stop reading and purchase this unit now. Enjoy the coffee maker...
For those that really need to know more before purchasing continue reading:
- This coffee maker uses basket shaped filters. So you can give your neighbor your unused cone shaped paper filters you may still have.
- The water reservoir does have a rather small opening but it is not too small like some very expensive coffee makers I have seen. Some may find it easier to use a large cup a couple of times to fill the reservoir instead of using the carafe. Either way I never needed to turn the coffee maker sideways to fill the reservoir.
- The water spout does swivel to allow you to install the filter and add coffee. You only need to move it once that is if you fill the water reservoir first. When closing the lid it will move the spout back into the proper position so you don't have to remember to do it yourself.
- I too had a defective carafe that leaked at the top between the plastic rim and glass. I called customer service, waited a few minutes, and spoke to someone in the USA. It was replaced within a few days at no charge. I sealed the original carafe until the replacement arrived.
- I never had an issue with pouring a cup of coffee using the auto pause and serve feature. Besides, how often do you really "need" to have a cup of coffee before it is done brewing? If you are that desperate, set the timer so it is done brewing before you get up in the morning.

I just recently purchased a 12-cup Hamilton Beach coffee makeHamilton Beach 47665 BrewStation Plus 12-Cup Automatic Drip Coffeemaker I just love this pot and the way that my coffee comes out. It is hot and stays that way and does not taste bitter at the very end. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a delicious hot cup of coffee.

If you like HOT coffee this is your machine. The lid opens straight up and I have to pull it out and turn it sideways to clear my wall cabinet each time, but I have gotten used to that as a small trade-off for the best coffeemaker we have ever owned.

This is not only a fantastic looking coffeemaker, but also a highly functional one. It's a bit slow to drip, but the coffee flavor is excellent and the coffee comes out HOT the way I like it. I bought the permanent filter from the packaging that comes in the box. This product would be improved if Hamilton Beach would just include the permanent filter in the box instead of requiring you to order it as an option.

I don't remember ever having so much trouble trying to find a quality coffee maker, nor having to buy one so often before the last few years. The things I need are pretty basic: no leaking when coffee is poured, a handle that doesn't wobble, easy water fill, a way to tell how much water is in the reservoir, no coffee grounds in the pot and coffee that is hot when brewed. Perks are things like a timer and automatic shut-off. To me, that is what a coffee maker is supposed to do, and it amazes me that the manufacturers can't seem to get this. Sometimes they break down after a year, or just start making a mess on the countertop. Sometimes they have all the bells and whistles, but coffee has to be microwaved to get it hot enough. And sometimes the perks are added to machines that don't even have all the basics. If you're sick of the lack of quality too, and are searching for the least awful coffee maker, then good news. The only thing I can't attest to is how long this Hamilton Beach will last. All the requirements for a good machine are met in this model. The price is excellent and the style is great. The handle is substantial and the pour spout is flawless. Preparation is an ease and the coffee is rich and hot. It has the perks to make life easier, looks great on the counter and makes a wonderful pot of coffee. It took quite a bit of searching, so I hope I can save others some time. This is the one!
