Review of Hamilton Beach Stay or Go Thermal Coffeemaker - Black (45237H)

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was given this as a gift. I found reviews for it (either the model in all black or brushed aluminum) favorable.Some people rated it negatively because they failed to read any directions and didn't press the "PRESS TO POUR" button on the carafe. Instead they unscrewed the top off and said it spilled when pouring. RTFM You always have to look to see if bad reveiws are due to the user's mistakes and lack of knowledge of the reviewer. They often are.

The two most negative things is...

1. When making a full pot I almost always get a lot of grinds. The problem is that the filter cup fills too quickly and the water level goes over the height of the paper filter. I've tried to find a taller filter, but they seem to all be the same size.Usually I either do a single mug (three 6 oz. cup servings) or the full carafe(10 servings). I can't recall if I've tried 6 or 8 servings to see if grinds are an issue there.

2. the plastic travel mugs retain water between the stainless steel outer shell and the inner plastic shell. UNtil I realized what the issue was, they would dribble (dish/cleaning water not coffee) when I drank from them. I find water gets in between especially after a run in the dishwasher.To get the water out, hold them by the bottom.With them facing upside down wave the mug back and forth (like a pendulum).Do it very quickly and the water will shake out. Once I found the problem, the constant dribble from a clean cup stopped.They keep the coffee reasonably warm for a while. Especially if you run hot water in the mugs before you use them-so they don't leech heat from the coffee to equalize.

3. the Hour/Minute buttons might be too easy hit and change the clock time. They should have a set button. I haven't done it, but that's the only negative.

For singles or a lone couple this is great.

I like the double spout so I can brew one mug, two mugs or a whole pot.
No need to dirty the carafe when I'm making small amounts which is 95% of the time.
The Timed brew is easy to set and works well.
I use unbleached paper cup filters. (this uses a bucket, not the cone shaped filters.)
The coffee bucket lifts out on a loop handle and is easy to dispose of grinds.
The instructions it gave on measures of coffee were good. When I used the instruction on the brand of ground coffee, the coffee tasted terrible. The coffee company said to use almost twice as much ground coffee than Hamilton Beach says.
I've already experimented with Torino's sugar free vanilla syrup, and some ground cinnamon in the coffee bucket add a great cinnamon spice without the sharp taste of the grains of cinnamon floating on top of the coffee.

I've had the coffee maker about two years now. Despite being mostly plastic, I've had no breakdowns.Nothing has fallen off or cracked.

Review of Black & Decker TCM830 10-Cup Thermal Stainless-Steel Coffeemaker

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We had this coffee maker for about 9 months, then it just stopped working halfway through a brew cycle. I could not find any other reviews for it online, so I'm not sure if this is typical or not.

What I liked about it: the thermal carafe kept the coffee hot for quite awhile as long as you take it off of the machine right after brewing so that the brew-through holes close up. It is easy to fill since the water resevoir is removable. I also like the look of it. It seems fairly sturdy, and it was very easy to pour (no spilling issues as I have read about other machines).

What I didn't like: The brew-through lid has small holes that the coffee, soap, and water get into and it is very hard to get out. You have to shake it very hard to get the liquid out, and I felt like I needed to rinse it repeatedly to be sure to get any residual soap out. The pot itself has a very small opening so you have to use a bottle brush. It also has a lip that makes it hard to fully empty.

I'm not sure if we will get another of the same or try something else. It seems like alot of the thermal pots have similar cleaning issues.

Product Description:
Balck & Decker's 10 cup Stainless Steel Thermal Coffee Maker has that smooth sleak look that become very popular in homes across the country. The advantage of Thermal Coffee Makers is that you do not have to re-heat your coffee or leave your coffee over a heating element which causes the flavor to be comprimised. Simply brew and trust that each cup will have the same great flavor every cup.

Review of Saeco TDCM-CC Renaissance 8-Cup Digital Drip Coffeemaker, Black

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I honestly don't get all the negativity here!!! I have used all of the "cheap" brands of coffeemakers over the years - Mr. Coffee, Black & Decker, Braun, etc. I was sick and tired of buying a new one every year, so we invested in this mid-priced Saeco and WE LOVE IT! It confirms the thought that you get what you pay for. We did not experience the "thermos" effect, nothing broke, I do not find this hard to clean either and MOST IMPORTANTLY - the coffee tastes GREAT!!! I do have one suggestion for Saeco - put a water level guide on the exterior. That said, I just used my 2 cup measuring cup & fill it 2 1/2 times and I'm good to go. Is everyone else thrashing this coffeemaker around causing parts to break? We wash ours e/o day (that's how often we have time to make coffee on average) with no problem. My Starbucks finally tastes like Starbucks in the coffee house!! I highly recommend this coffeemaker AND their espresso makers are wonderful too. Well worth the money. BUY SAECO AND YOU WON'T BE SORRY!

Review of Capresso 4490 10-Cup Stainless-Steel Vacuum Replacement Carafe with Lid for Capresso ST600 Coffeemaker

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this carafe with my Capresso 4490.The 4490 has since gone to the coffee maker trash bin while the carafe is still working.Now, I just make coffee and transfer it to the carafe.It truly does keep coffee warm for hours - 6-8 hours - if you make sure to close the top tight after each pour.The real test came when we had work done on the outside of our house in very cold weather and the workers kept the carafe outside with them.The coffee remained hot !I liked the carafe so well, I bought another just to have on hand and have used both for large crowds.I have never experienced a carafe that works as well as this one.

Review of Technivorm KBT-741 Moccamaster Black Coffee Maker 1.25-L.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned this machine for over two years. It is beautifully designed and well made. I love the look. Is the coffee brewed by this machine THAT much better, given its lofty price? Nope, not to my taste. The thermal carafe does not keep the coffee near brewing temperature for long, even after tempering the carafe for 15 minutes with boiling water.The first cup is excellent, but anything after the first cup grows steadily tepid. Might just as well use a press pot, which certainly allows the best expression of fresh ground beans. My Technivorm machine still works well, but for my morning coffee I am replacing it with a basic glass-carafed maker with heat element (Capresso MG600).

Product Description:
The Technivorm Moccamaster KBT-741 Clubline brewer is a simple, precise and elegant electric drip brewer. No gadgets here. This is a handmade coffeemaker built in Holland. The main asset of the Moccamaster is its ability to maintain perfect brewing temperature throughout the entire brewing cycle, an attribute that has earned it certification from at least two coffee trade associations. This is a quality product, done simply.It uses an independent energy-efficient heat exchanger that brews directly into the stainless-steel-lined ThermoJug server. That means your coffee maintains an optimal temperature between 194 and 204??F. A consistent temperature is key to preservingthe flavors and aromas of coffee, and this machine does just that.It also brews a full pot in about 5-6 minutes.The Technivorm Thermal takes an exceptional machine ??? the Technivorm Clubline KB 741 ??? and improves upon it by replacing a hot plate with a thermal carafe. There???s a reason that Technivorm has created 1 of only 2 machines that meet the Specialty Coffee Association of America???s (SCAA) certification standards, and that???s because its design preserves the entire spectrum of flavors in every cup. Water is heated and passes through the coffee consistently, brewing quickly and quietly. It is also approved by the European Coffee Brewing Centre (ECBC) and Specialty Coffee Association of Europe (SCAE). Only a h
