What our customer's say!

"Buy without hesitation! I LOVE this thing!", I bought this after a really bad experience with a traditional electric B&D coffeemaker, and it has been beyond great. Since my husband is "off" coffee now, it is nice to not waste any, and I even find myself enjoying less, but better and fresher, coffee than if I had an entire pot waiting on me for hours!

Learning to gauge the water for each mug takes some practice, but it is worthwhile. Temperature is perfect, brews fast, and is so versatile. Cleanup is a breeze (there is almost NONE!).

I would recommend, and have done so, to friends and family... and you too.

"Anonymous from CT", On my third week using this coffeemaker every morning. It works very well. One previous reviewer said that you can use Melitta #1 filters. I bought a box. They do work, but I don't mind using my 1-4 cup cheap filters from Walmart. Once I place it in the permanent filter I then make a small fist; then I spread out what's left. When I close the top it catches the spread part. Works quite well. The coffee comes out nice and hot, and fast. Of course, can't be fast enuf 1st thing in the AM! I ordered the black and brushed metal model-nice looking.Have not used pods or tea in here yet.Hamilton Beach 42116 3-in-1 Hot-Beverage Center, Black and Brushed Metal

"Worked great for 6 months - not a good product", This item worked great for about 6 months now it just sputters and steams but no hot water is delivered. There are no troubleshooting instructions so it has turned into an expensive counter decoration (trash). Would not buy this product again.

"Pretty good while it worked.", I really liked this product while it worked, which was about 2 weeks. Now it goes through all the motions, but hardly any water comes out. It has only been used about 10 times. The manual does not have a trouble-shooting guide.

"Great But Not Perfect", I wanted a coffee maker that would: a) make one cup at a time; b) allow me to use my own coffee (and not expensive pre-packaged "cups" or "pods"); c) be reasonably priced; d) not take up a lot of counter space. The Hamilton Beach Hot Beverage Center fits these criteria perfectly, although there are a few things I don't like.

The first problem I encountered was the power cord--it's too short, only about 1.5'. Because of the way my kitchen is laid out I have to use an extension cord, which bothers me because I worry about spilled liquid. This thing seems big enough that they could have made the cord longer and incorporated a way to store extra cord in the base.

I don't like the permanent filter. The first cup of coffee I made had a layer of mud at the bottom. To be fair this is not a problem with this machine, but with permanent filters in general. I bought some Melitta #1 paper filters and use one inside the permanent filter, which works great. This has the added benefit of making cleanup easier between cups.

It says that you can use coffee pods, and since I had some left over from my previous machine I tried it but was unhappy with the results. The coffee was too weak. The pod sits in the bottom of the permanent filter and I think a lot of the water flows out of the side of the filter without going through the pod. There is an included pod holder, but that's only used if you want to use two pods at once. If what you want is a coffee maker that uses pods, look elsewhere.

Incidentally, if you buy one and can't find the pod holder, it's hiding in the base of the cup rest. (It would be nice if the manual told you this.)

These problems aside, overall I am quite pleased with this machine. The coffee tastes great. There's no carafe to clean. The spout is high enough to handle those tall travel mugs, and the pull-out platform lets you use smaller cups without splashing. I spent an extra $5 and got the brushed metal version, which looks great. This could be a 5-star machine if they just improved a few things.
