Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Capable of brewing up to twelve 5-ounce cups in less than a minute per cup, this coffeemaker has 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 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. There are two water reservoirs, with a removable reservoir fitting inside another. (Using the removable reservoir limits the coffeemaker's capacity to 10 cups instead of 12.) The filter basket, which uses standard basket filters, swings out for convenient filling. The coffeemaker measures 8 inches wide, 12-1/2 inches high, and 10-1/2 inches deep. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Good coffeemaker, April 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Hamilton Beach 49281 Aroma Express Coffeemaker with Removable Water Reservoir and Programmable Timer, White (Kitchen)

This is my favorite coffeemaker, and I have had many. It makes great coffee. Good features: makes up to 12 cups, has a removable water reservoir, uses less expensive basket style filters, and the carafe DOES NOT DRIP! At a clearance price, worth buying even if you don't need a coffeemaker, because you might like this one better than the one you use. This is a great coffeemaker for about the price of the replacement carafe.

I have had one of these coffemakers for four years and I love it. It was the only one with a top-fill reservoir, an easy-to-clean coffee holder, and auto-off features. The price was reasonable ... After using my first one for five days a week for over four years, the hotplate's coating started peeling off, so I purchased my second one. However, I cannot pass up getting another one for such a great price!!
All problems mentioned in previous reviews have been addressed, but they were really matters of being careful anyway. Thorough rinsing of the brew basket to make sure no grounds get stuck in the bottom lever-seal prevents sticking. Making sure the swing-out brew-baket holder snaps into place before begining the brew process prevents overflow. Using the proper measure of good quality, properly ground coffee ensures rich, great tasting coffee. Buy, and enjoy, this Best-Featured Coffeemaker!

This review is from: Hamilton Beach 49281 Aroma Express Coffeemaker with Removable Water Reservoir and Programmable Timer, White (Kitchen)

I am extremely impressed with this particular model of Coffeemaker. The option of using the removable reservoir instead of filling directly into the coffemaker itself is definately a welcome convenience. The filter basket on this model does not detach from the coffeemaker.Instead, a separate plastic filter holder sits inside the basket that swings out to the side of the coffeemaker. One of the best things I have found with this model is the fact that I have yet to see steam rolling out of the top or condensation dripping from the filter basket area causing the hot burner to snap, crackle and pop.I am not sure how sturdy the lever that controls the pause and pour function on this particular model is as I did not see any springs like I have on all previous coffeemakers I have ever owned, only plastic parts. I also like the fact that there is a cord storeage compartment in the back to hold unnecessary and unsightly lengths of electrical cord. I would not hesitate to purchase this model for a gift or again for myself and would highly recommend it to others.
