After brewing up to 10 cups of coffee, this attractive countertop appliance dispenses one fresh hot cup at a time–with just a push of the button. For those in a hurry, the appliance comes with a stop-and-serve function that allows for dispensing a cup before the end of the brewing cycle. The warming plate (located under the coffee reservoir) will automatically keep remaining coffee at an ideal serving temperature as long as the coffeemaker remains on.

I was so excited to find a coffee maker with the cup-at-a-time feature. My husband just loves the convenience. We had tried the Cuisinart, but it died in less than a year, and the Hamilton Beach looks cheesy for the price….I decided on this one and received it today. I tried 3 different brews and they all resulted in coffee or water all over my counter. It will be returned asap with replacement not an option!! I may have just received a lemon, but I can’t recommend this coffee maker.

Pros: I’m not a coffee afficianado. But I do like my coffee. This little number makes a good cup of coffee. So far it’s been consistent. Uses cone filters which seem to always make a better tasting coffee. It’s easy to set up & very easy to fill the water resevoir (it’s removable if you like). Cup at a time feature is good idea & this keeps the coffee hot without getting that burnt & bitter taste that comes with the pot & hot plate varieties.
Cons: You can’t fit a cup or mug taller than 3.5″ under the spout. This means you have to play the transfer game;fill a cup & pour it into something else. I noticed that if you fill the water resevoir to the maximum (1500 ml) you will have a flood. However, if you keep it to between 1300 & 1400 ml you’re fine.
I would also like to see an easier coffee dispenser. This has a tab like feature that you push down. It works but they could come up with a better idea I think.
All in all, considering the price, it’s a good little coffee maker. If it only lasts a year, I will have gotten my money’s worth. I make more coffee now than I did before because of the ease & the flavor.
