Hamilton Beach The Scoop Two-Way Brewer Coffeemaker - 49980Z

I purchased this two-way coffemaker for my daughter as a Mother's Day gift, and we all loved it. So convenient for her and her husband since they both have different work schedules. I can't wait to enjoy a cup of coffee.

GREAT COFFEE MAKER! WIFE IS VERY HAPPY WITH HER GIFT. USES IT EVERY DAY TO START HER DAY. ALREADY THREW OUT OLD COFFEE MAKER.

I've not utilized the single serving side other than to clean it out when I first unpackaged the system. The carafe side brews coffee quickly and pours with no mess. Very easy to set up and looks pretty nice on the counter. The only issue I have is the fill area is fairly narrow and about once every other week I spill some when filling from being in too much of a hurry (3:30am getting ready for work, imagine that). Too bad we can't make this product in America.

The best of both worlds. Single cup when you are short on time and a pot when lounging on the weekend.

I am not a "Single Cup" coffee drinker, so ordering a Keurig was out of the question. I drink my coffee a pot at a time, usually. I know...it's a problem I'm working on. Anyway, as I researched coffee makers, this Hamilton Beach model was the highest rated and I thought it deserved a look. I've had all kinds of coffee makers in the past, from the single cup variety to the "Order the coffee and get a coffee maker FREE" variety, to other quality machines with a grinder and coffee bean holder already attached. The Scoop Two-Way Brewer is the best I've had so far. I can control whether I want to brew one cup or twelve. I can program it to brew at whatever time I want. There's very little clean-up (rinse out the carafe or cup and replace the filter and you're done) compared to that high-tech grinder model. I have even remarked to people that I have yet to spill a single drop. When pouring water into the brew chamber, in the past, I've always had water spill down the side of the pot and onto the counter or splash off the rim...it can be very messy. Whoever designed the pour spout here deserves some kind of medal! I have used the single serving travel cup feature--once--just to try it out. It seems the folks at HB have thought of everything. The design of the travel cup allows you to leave the lid on while you brew (you will have to remove it to add cream or sugar, if that's your style). There's a little drip pan underneath which doubles as a booster seat to bring smaller mugs closer to the spout or you can remove it if there's a taller mug you wish to use. Finally, the look of the thing--the stainless steel facing with that cobalt blue light...as my dad pointed out, this looks like a "man's machine". I don't know if that's the case, but it's definitely sleek. When I see that blue light glowing in my darkened kitchen, I know I'm going to be starting my morning off right. Great job, Hamilton Beach!

We are very happy with this coffeemaker, the coffee is very hot and oh, so delicious. The only thing that would make this perfect for us is a mini paper filter for the single cup. (We don't use pods) The mesh filter is great but paper does filter out oils that affect our LDL cholesterol.

Good service fast delivery had a problem with one of the coffee makers the sring in the basket was broken Got in touch with customer service an diidn't have a problem of getting another one

I like the combination of single serve and the 12 cup carafe. The bold option is very nice also. Easy to program. So far I have not found anything wrong with this coffee maker. I am very pleased with it.

It's better than Keurig, coffee taste really good!!! I have the option to use the single serve or the carafe. I did received it in good condition because of good packaging. To top it all, the price is really REASONABLE!!!

Choice of up to 12-cup or single shot brew! If you think senseo coffee pods are too expensive, use your own coffee in the metal single shot filter or better yet use your own coffee in a t-sac. Both brewers make very hot coffee. Very happy with product and Wayfair.
