8 Solid Reasons To Avoid Coffee Machine
This Hamilton Beach 2-Way Brewer is a programmable coffee maker that offers you double
Capacities: on one side it is possible to brew a 12-cup pot of coffee, and on the other hand you can
Separately brew either one cup or a travel mug of coffee to go.
The single-serve side of this machine comes with a mesh filter for coffee grounds, or you can use
Soft pods of pre-packaged ground coffee. The single-side portion of this drip coffee maker comes
Using a mesh brew basket filter which you can use as a measuring scoop if you prefer that to pods.
You can place a plastic cup rest underneath the single-side dispenser to hoist up a cup high
Enough so that coffee flows into it and does not make a mess. Otherwise, There's room enough
For a 14-ounce travel mug. The mug is an extra accessory you have to buy separately. The
carafe side uses paper coffee filters in its basket.
As far as the carafe side of this drip coffee maker, you can program the clock on the front and
Prepare it to either brew coffee at once or program it as much as 24 hours in advance so you
wake up to freshly made coffee in the pot.
Coffee, and if you want to quickly snag a cup of coffee while this is brewing, this machine lets
you do that with its brew pause capability.
Two-hour automatic shut-off function.
Beyond that, however, you get few different options for making a pot of coffee. Unlike some other
Coffee maker brands we tested, this does not allow you to adjust such things as the warming plate
temperature.
Hot water, which is a process that slows the brewing time a little, but allows the saturated grounds
to fully render the best aroma.
We tested only the carafe side and followed the manufacturer's instructions using brand name
coffee with a medium grind, a standard paper filter in the brew basket and tap water. We added
One level tablespoon of coffee grounds for each cup of coffee we made.
When it came to assessing flavor, aroma and overall quality, our taste testing panel was
unanimous: The Hamilton Beach makes superb coffee. Virtually every one of our panel members
Ranked this as a top-notch brew with strong, smooth flavor and amazing aroma.
The manufacturer recommends using filtered, bottled water rather than tap water from a
Community supply, but in our tests, this did not seem to matter to our panel.
Summary
Although you get the option of making one cup or a travel-size mug of coffee on one side, this
Drip coffee maker is in fact bare-bones simple in its functioning and features. Some consumers
Might be disappointed that they cannot do a variety of things with it, such things as make iced
coffee or control the warming plate temperature. Other coffee lovers who take a more
Minimalistic approach to coffee makers will be pleased this is a pretty simple device. It offers one
exemplary strong point: It makes excellent coffee.
