Hamilton Beach
12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker for Cone Filters
Skip the alarm and wake up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee every morning instead. The Hamilton Beach® 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker can be programmed up to 24 hours in advance for delicious wake-up ready coffee. The coffee maker is easy to program, and it automatically shuts off after 2 hours for peace of mind. The coffee maker extracts coffee's rich flavor with its hot brewing temperature and cone-shaped filter. The cone shape allows water to flow more evenly through ground coffee for great flavor extraction. The coffee maker comes with a sample pack of #4 cone filters. The dishwasher safe removable cone-shaped brew basket and glass carafe are designed for easy cleaning, and the control panel buttons and nonstick warming plate easily wipe clean. The Auto Pause & Pour feature automatically stops the flow of coffee so you can sneak a cup while coffee's still brewing without making a mess. The water reservoir has a large easy-view window that lets you see the water level from the front of the coffee maker. The durable borosilicate glass carafe has a handle designed for comfortable pouring and measurement markings for accurate filling.

What customers say
The Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker for Cone Filters generally garners a positive, albeit mixed, reception from consumers. Many users appreciate its straightforward functionality and the convenience offered by its programmable features, allowing them to wake up to a freshly brewed pot. The 12-cup capacity is frequently highlighted as ideal for families or those who consume multiple cups throughout the day. A significant number of reviews praise the coffee maker for consistently producing a good-tasting cup of coffee, often attributing this to the cone filter design which is perceived to enhance flavor extraction compared to basket filters. Its ease of use, from filling the water reservoir to setting the brew time, is also a recurring positive point, making it a suitable choice for those seeking a no-frills, reliable morning brew. However, the sentiment isn't entirely without its caveats. A notable portion of feedback points to concerns regarding the product's long-term durability, with some users reporting issues such as leaks developing over time or the heating element failing after a year or two of use. The carafe design is another common area of criticism; while functional, some users find it prone to dripping when pouring, leading to minor spills. There are also occasional mentions that the coffee, while flavorful, might not be as hot as desired by some who prefer a scorching cup. Despite these criticisms, the product's attractive price point often leads customers to view it as a good value, especially for a programmable unit from a reputable brand. It appears to be a solid choice for budget-conscious consumers prioritizing basic functionality and decent coffee quality, provided they manage expectations regarding premium features and extreme longevity.
