Hamilton Beach - Single Serve Coffee Maker - Stainless Steel

We've only had this coffee maker for a few weeks but so far we've been happy with it. It does what we bought it for - it makes one cup of coffee quickly. My husband is the one who uses it and he had to kind of play with the regular and bold settings and the amount of coffee to put in the scoop until he got the right amount. We read several reviews before purchasing which was very helpful. I wish I could remember the name of the reviewer who was most helpful. They gave very detailed information about their experience and what to expect. Like they said, most of the negative reviews are likely from people who don't read and/or follow the instructions. We did read and follow the instructions and have had no problems. I think the main thing to understand and remember is that the coffee grounds go in the scoop and not the filter below it. If you don't follow those instructions you WILL end up with grounds in your cup.

The Hamilton Beach scoop is a total game changer in the mornings around my house! My wife and I love the ease, simplicity and frugality of scooping and using only what we need. It brews extremely quickly and cleanup is a snap. Plus, we don't have to worry about excess waste with the plastic K-Cups or pods that other single serve coffee makers use. All that's left over is a saturated clump of coffee grounds that, in all reality, could probably be used again if needed. Can you say that about K-Cups or pods? While we've never done that, the option is still there. Instead, we throw our coffee grounds into our garden soil. De-scaling of the machine is also a snap compared to other machines we've owned. The Scoop is the perfect size for small and large kitchens alike and fits discretely into any corner of a counter space. I can't say enough good things about this machine! We hope it lasts much longer than our previous Kerug machines, at a fraction of the cost! We have owned and used The Scoop for a little over two months with zero of the issues that some other reviewers have noted.

I was looking for a decent single cup coffee maker that did not take those little cups, you would be surprised at how hard it is to find one that is good quality and a reasonable price, this one is it. If you want to use your own coffee and make just 1 cup and not spend a lot of cash, your search is over, buy this and stop looking. Seriously, I am one who spend hours looking up reviews and price comparisons and I did your leg work for you, this even has two temperatures to brew at depending on the grind and strength you want from the brew.

Words cannot express how much I love this coffeemaker. It is so easy to use and the best part is the fact that the scoop is the filter. All you do is put your coffee in the scoop and add the amount of water that you need. It brews the coffee fast right in your cup, no paper filters to fight with and no carafe to clean. I have always used the regular coffee makers that used those awful paper filters that could slip and cause you to have a full pot of coffee grounds. The Scoop is such a wonderful product; it has made a big difference for me and how my coffee is brewed.

I first tried this product at my daughters house and I enjoyed how the coffee maker was so easy to use . When I came back to New York but I wanted to purchase the same one she had and I found that it was very convenient for me to have around. In the morning I have to hurry up to get to work so I put this coffee machine very quickly and by the time I come back to get my cup it's done and ready . it's very simple makes one big large cup and all I do is press one little button I'll still have two coffees scoops that I didn't get with any of the coffeemakers . I have no regrets making this purchase .
