Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Shapely and strikingly clad in platinum-colored plastic, this thoroughly contemporary coffeemaker has a button offering the option of soaking ground coffee before the brewing cycle begins to extract maximum flavor. That's just one of the up-to-date features. Others include a digital clock/timer that can be programmed up to 24 hours in advance for brewing fresh wake-up coffee and an automatic pause of the brewing cycle when the carafe is removed from the warming plate for a midbrew pour. The carafe is glass and dishwasher-safe. The warming plate is nonstick so it wipes clean in a jiffy, and it automatically shuts off after two hours for safety. An easy-viewing window permits monitoring of the water level. The filter basket swings out for convenient filling. Six conical filters and a coffee scoop are included. The coffeemaker measures 8-3/4 inches wide, 13 inches high, and 11-1/4 inches deep. --Fred Brack

Great coffee, takes Krups gold filter,
By Desert Krone "desertkrone" (Tucson, Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 43425 Platinum FlavorPlus 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker (Kitchen)
My husband and I are both very, very pleased with our Hamilton Beach FlavorPlus coffee maker. When our 10-year-old Krups coffee maker broke a few weeks ago, we began making french press coffee until we could find another drip coffee maker. Coffee from this FlavorPlus coffee maker using the FlavorPlus option tastes a lot like the coffee we made with our French press, with much, much less time and effort. It has a very very dark rich flavor, which we love. We can't wait to experiment with different beans and grinds. It is best when drunk hot. Since I like to sip my coffee on Saturday morning, when my coffee starts to get luke warm after 15 minutes or so, I'll just pop my cup in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up. I cannot tell any flavor difference when I do this. My husband and I have also always turned our coffee maker off soon after the coffee is brewed. Then after we pour our second cup, we simply put the cup in the microwave for a few seconds. If there is a flavor difference from fresh brewed, we can't taste it. Also this is the only Hamilton Beach coffee maker we found with a cone shaped filter basket. Our old Krups gold filter fits perfectly. The glass carafe appears solid and does not drip when pouring coffee. I like being able to see how much coffee is in the carafe. There is a water measure that is easy to read on the front of the machine. It is also easy to pour the water into the machine. My husband is concerned that the plastic nipple that attaches the removable coffee-grounds basket to the machine will not be durable, but for these past weeks it has been fine. Of course the clock and time brew options work fine and are very easy to use. Also this machine looks great in the kitchen. All in all the machine is very easy to use and clean, is great looking, appears durable and reliable, and makes a great cup of coffee. We are very very happy with it.

Good coffee, but...,

This review is from: Hamilton Beach 43425 Platinum FlavorPlus 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker (Kitchen)
When ordering, please be aware that this unit is all plastic with the exception of the carafe. The picture gives a very different impression. Also, after several uses the mechanism that allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle to get a cup of coffee started malfunctioning so that the basket filled up with water while the carafe was in place. After this happening twice (be aware we just set it up to brew and the coffee maker did this on its own), I removed the spring that makes the mechanism close off the drip. Now we won't be able to interrupt the brewing cycle, but we won't have overflows either. When it works right, the coffee tastes great.

Works as expected: no more, no less,
By Fish Dude "Fish Dude" (Dallas, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 43425 Platinum FlavorPlus 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker (Kitchen)
I wanted this coffee maker for its auto start feature. I woke up this morning to a pot of fresh coffee. I used the flavor + option and I honestly cannot tell a difference. I no longer have to wait in the morning for my coffee to brew, so I am happy. Pouring water from the pot to the unit can be tricky, but by the time the initial cleaning was over, I had mastered the art of not spilling water all over the counter. So, in all honesty, not a terrific unit, but, I wanted to upgrade to a timed brewing unit and that feature functions well, so I consider it a good unit. It does what I expected it to do, no more, no less.
