June 20, 2018
Brews coffee at lower temp which is correct (smooth flavor) then heats it via the hotplate after. However, if you take a cup right after it is brewed you will need to heat it up to drinking temp in the microwave.

3.0 out of 5 starsWant to like it, might, we'll see
October 13, 2018
I'm coming from a Cuisinart that I'm tired of its heating plate rusting. I want to like this Hamilton Beach. Nice design. Front access is a great idea and works well. I'm not sure the "optional" charcoal filter is big enough to actually do anything. Its like really? Cuisinart's is also not that big and you have to change it regularly for it to be effective. This one's charcoal "filter" is even smaller. Not going to mess that that as an option.

Does Hamilton Beach not understand the idea of HOT? I have replacement coming and hoping the first one has some defect. The water is not up to the recommended temperature for making coffee of 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit. The temp is in the 160's. Its fast to brew but given it doesn't heat the water up to the right high temp no wonder.

Replacement here Sunday. We'll see. Might be going back for full refund. Really wanted to like this thing. Looks good, front fill design nicely done. But appearance and design is quite useless if it doesn't make a good HOT cup of coffee!

Edit: New one arrived Sunday, yesterday. Coffee this morning same problem. Its not hot folks. Sorry but when the coffee starts out warm by the time you get half way through the cup its cool. Going back. How hard is this Hamilton Beach?

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat product!!!
January 8, 2019
Style: Programmable Coffee MakerVerified Purchase
Coffee maker came today as promised. Ran a 12 cup pot of water through it using 1-4 cup brew setting. It took 11 minutes to finish. I pulled the pot out while brewing and it didn't drip a single drop of water. I poured a cup of hot water and it was very easy to pour without any problems. I measured the temperature at 140 degrees F. i don't know what temperature the people are looking for when they complain that it doesn't brew hot enough, but hot enough to scald my lips is plenty warm for me. So far, I am very well pleased.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat coffee maker
February 19, 2019
Style: Programmable Coffee MakerVerified Purchase
I do a thorough job of reading other people's reviews before buying a product. We have been in need of a coffee maker for a while but I hesitated because each product had bad reviews. This coffee maker actually had the highest average reviews among all the reviewers which was one of the reasons I selected it. Also, the bad reviews were written by a relatively small group of buyers who seemed to have bad luck (broken parts) or wanted sclading hot coffee. Not me. Anyway, at first my wife was not too excited I bought a product from Hamilton Beach because apparently this company is not known for high end products. However, since we started using this coffee maker she has been pleasantly surprised. I am also very pleased with every aspect of this coffee maker. From the ingenious design of being able to add water from the front to the ease of removing the used filter and grounds, the creators did their homework. For someone who likes hot coffee, I could assure that there are zero heating issues. Upon reading the instruction manual, I could tell that Hamilton Beach takes pride in their product and has a desire for the consumer to enjoy great coffee (no I don't work for them even though that sounds like I do). Anyway, I am very happy with this purchase. Hope this helps someone with their decision.

I am very happy with this coffee maker. The design is very easy to use and I like that the water can be added in the front. The coffee tastes very good. I usually buy Mr Coffee but this is a much better maker and I am pleased with this purchase.

Style: Programmable Coffee MakerVerified Purchase
Model 46310 is (finally) pretty much what I was looking for in an automatic coffee maker... flip out removable filter basket; front fill and/or a small lid so that you can fill it with water when you have top cabinets above the unit, without pulling the thing out to the edge; and fairly simple controls.
I've had it a week now and so far, so good. It is hard to program the minutes on the time, and you have to set the time you unplug it (although you don't have to set it correctly,) and I'm not sure the little plastic lip that holds the filter basket on the swing-out front will hold up over years, but so far, yes, it is just what i wanted. No huge lid you have to remove to use it under a counter, no water reservoir with holes drilled in the back so that the water pours out the back when you pour it in and a separate lid for the water, no chance of pouring cold water in the coffee ground like Mr. Coffee current models and others, (including Hamilton Beach model 43254R.) Oh and the controls are at the top where the coffee never will spill on them, unlike my old (20-30 year old) Mr. Coffee Accel that finally broke a part in the tank (but otherwise would work fine.) Hope this one lasts as long. I'm still thinking about repairing that little broken part in the old one, though...

5.0 out of 5 starsBest coffee maker EVER!!!!
March 5, 2018
Style: Programmable Coffee MakerVerified Purchase
I just had got this and wanted to review after a couple of uses. My 1st Hamilton Beach, and now won't be my last. ALWAYS bought Mr.Coffee, and fought with over flowing, pulling out from under cabinets. Just got tired of it. This is THE BEST with its compact size but 12 cup capacity, under cabinet filling both water and grounds. Love it!!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat, reliable coffeemaker, which lasts!
July 22, 2019
Style: Programmable Coffee MakerVerified Purchase
My fiancé and I purchased this coffeemaker to simplify our mornings, and we’ve had it for a year now. It works just as well now as the first time we used it, the programmable feature is very reliable. My fiancé is a baker, and wakes up at 4am or earlier for work. Being able to wake up and have coffee together in the mornings without taking the time to prepare it has been a godsend, we use this 1-2 times a day. With regular cleaning it’s in great shape. The heating element keeps your coffee at the perfect temperature for 2 hours after brewing, and depending on the amount of coffee left it will hold warmth for another half hour easy. We recently moved to a larger apartment and this is one of the only appliances we haven’t replaced. I’ve recommended this coffee machine to my sister, my coworker and his wife, and many others. Hands down one of our best amazon purchases.

5.0 out of 5 starsEasy access and makes great coffee
October 1, 2018
Style: Programmable Coffee MakerVerified Purchase
I am replacing my old Hamilton Coffee Maker with this one after many years of use. I LOVE this new one. The water reservoir is so easy to fill being in the front. It is the first one that I have had that you can fill from the front. I do have to pull it out from under the cupboard a bit but still much easier than filling from the back. This coffee maker makes good coffee as did the other one I had but this one is so quiet, I have to look to be sure it is actually working. I recommend it to anyone trying to decide which one to get. I read so many reviews and decided on this one and so glad I did.

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for under cabinet use, good-looking, great value/price!
January 3, 2019
Style: Programmable Coffee MakerVerified Purchase
I was tired of making 4 cups of coffee each morning for my family ( with my single-serve coffee maker), but I wanted a smaller coffee pot that would fit under my cabinet - so I would create a sort of coffee bar. This maker loads water by swiveling from the front, so I can open and load water while it sits under my cabinet - no spills or drips when loading water or serving coffee. Loved the auto-shut off and drip pause if I want to grab a cup before the whole pot is done. For the price, look and convenience, it is a WINNER!

5.0 out of 5 starsNice looking and sturdy
January 3, 2019
Style: Programmable Coffee MakerVerified Purchase
I particularly like that this coffee maker will fit under my cabinet and it is easy to fill with water and coffee. My last coffee maker had to be pulled all the way out, and I had to open the top to put the coffee grounds in. It is also easy to remove the grounds without having to move the entire appliance. In addition, the carafe has stayed sparkly clear and new-looking, where some of the carafes I have had from different manufacturers got cloudy looking quickly, no matter how I cleaned them. I just assumed it was our water before; now I know it was the glass of the carafes (good to know).

5.0 out of 5 starsAwesome!

Style: Programmable Coffee MakerVerified Purchase
I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend but now I think I am going to use it more than him! Sooo easy to use. We bought the water filter pods that were suggested, 2 for 8$ on amazon. The only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't beep when the pot is done brewing. But I suppose you could just look and see if all the water is out of the reservoir. Amazing product for a phenomenal price. Love this!
