Hamilton Beach
Easy Brew 12 Cup Switch Coffee Maker
Easily brew your daily coffee with a sleek black and stainless coffee maker that looks great in your kitchen. The Hamilton Beach® Easy Brew 12 Cup Switch Coffee Maker with stainless steel accents is stylish and easy to use. Just add coffee, water and start brewing by pressing the on/off switch. The illuminated switch stays lit until you turn it off, so it reminds you at a glance when the coffee maker needs to be turned off. While coffee brews, you can get your first cup fast with Auto Pause & Pour, which briefly stops the flow of coffee when you lift the carafe. Besides being easy to use, this coffee maker is easy to clean — the glass carafe and brew basket are dishwasher safe. You can easily fill the water reservoir without messy splashes, and the large, front-view window makes it easy to keep track of the water level. To simplify your morning routine, the Hamilton Beach Easy Brew 12 Cup Coffee Maker is smart plug compatible, which works with Alexa, Google Home or Siri to voice control or add to your routines (smart plug sold separately).

What customers say
The Hamilton Beach Easy Brew 12 Cup Switch Coffee Maker generally receives a warm, albeit nuanced, reception from consumers. Its most celebrated attributes revolve around its exceptional affordability and remarkable ease of use. Customers consistently laud its straightforward, no-fuss operation, appreciating the simple on/off switch that eliminates complex programming, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a quick and uncomplicated coffee brewing experience. For its budget-friendly price point, many users are pleasantly surprised by the quality of the coffee it produces, finding it perfectly adequate and satisfying for daily consumption. The compact design is also frequently highlighted as a positive, allowing it to fit seamlessly into various kitchen spaces without occupying excessive counter real estate. The inclusion of an auto-shutoff feature adds a practical layer of safety and convenience, which is a welcome bonus. However, the primary area where sentiment becomes more tempered is regarding its long-term durability. A recurring theme in customer feedback points to a relatively shorter lifespan for the appliance, with some users reporting issues such as the heating element failing or minor leaks developing after several months to a year of regular use. While some consumers view this as an acceptable trade-off given the product's low cost, others express a desire for greater longevity. Minor criticisms occasionally surface concerning the carafe's tendency to drip when pouring, and the water reservoir's design can sometimes make filling a bit awkward. Despite these points, the Easy Brew coffee maker is widely regarded as a highly functional, cost-effective solution that delivers on its promise of simple, hot coffee. It truly shines in offering excellent value and user-friendliness, making it a popular choice for those prioritizing economy and simplicity over advanced features or extended robustness.
