Hamilton Beach 12-Cup Black 48464

Excelente, fácil preparación, no hay riesgo que se rompa la jarra, servir el café es de lo más fácil.

I love this coffee maker. I am not a fan of the K cup coffee, (it is little more than instant coffee as far as I'm concerned), but I do like that this coffee maker dispenses coffee directly into the cup. I have had four coffee dispensers but this one and the one I had prior are the best because they have a detachable cistern for the water, avoiding having to pour the water into the maker, thus avoiding spilled water.Now, the only thing I do not like about this coffee maker is the small filter over the dispenser port is not removable which makes the filter itself and the dispenser port difficult to clean, (hence, four stars instead of five for ease of cleaning). It is a minor thing but the inability to remove the filter was why I had to replace the old coffee maker. It developed a leak, a small one but still a nuisance. I suspected that either there was something blocking the port for closing completely or the gasket needed replacing. However, because of the permanent filter, I could not get into the port to check. The old one did last me over five years, and I have to admit, I often left coffee in the cistern overnight, which means I did not clean it as often as I should have, so I bear some of the blame for the dispenser port leaking.Anyway, if you like to be able to dispense coffee directly into the cup but find K cups tasteless like I do, I highly recommend this coffee maker. A great cup of coffee every time, just clean it every week or so and it should last for a long time.

Been using this machine for a couple of weeks, and so far so good! What I needed to take into account is that 1 cup is only half of a large mug, so if you are making for mugs of coffee, you should make 'double' the amount of cups. In the mornings we make 10 cups of coffee, and that fills a mug and 2 tumblers. It works really well. The filter basket comes off, and the decanter part comes right out to make for easy cleaning and filling. I do see what people mean that it can be sort of messy with the water, you just have to aim it well. We always use the bold coffee setting to achieve the flavour that we want. I LOVE the preset function which is mainly why we got this. We set it for when we wake up in the morning. Only thing I would change is a taller space for tumblers, as to fill you need to angle it in, but it hasn't been an issue. It is a good quality machine but I suspect that it might need to be replaced after a year or two, but for the price, I am very happy with it.

When the old machine finally quit on us, I went in search of one that wouldn't require a semi-annual carafe replacement. We went through at least four or five glass carafes at $12/each. So I looked into the thermal carafes and stumbled upon this little gem. There are a lot of reviews about spillage and condensation, etc. But let me tell you, it works like a dream for us. No carafe at all. Awesome. I'll take cleaning out the storage tank over a carafe any day of the week. We haven't had so much as a stray drip in the drip tray. The coffee tastes just great to me using the bold setting, and the temperature is also right. Our "Keep Warm" setting is 3 hours, but it's nice to have different options there. The programming works fine. The instructions are easy to understand. I have filled a standard-sized travel mug and virtually all our regular mugs. I could see the dispensing spout may be an issue if you use handmade pottery mugs with irregular shapes. But even with those, I bet if you applied a little common sense, you'd be kicking yourself for not having picked this up sooner. Obviously, I cannot comment on longevity yet, but I'll update.***UPDATE, August 25, 2014We've had the coffee maker for about a year and a half now. I love it just as much. It's easy to use, easy to clean, still doesn't drip randomly. I would recommend it!***Another UPDATE, February 8, 2015Still going strong. I have been using a Basket-Style Gold Tone Permanent Filter in this machine since the beginning. While the fit isn't absolutely perfect (the filter is just a centimeter or two too tall), it doesn't affect the result at all.**UPDATE March 29, 2018 - Finally had to retire our BrewStation after roughly 5 years. The internal gasket at the dispenser must've degraded to the point that it no longer sealed in the coffee. After a few days of discovering a full drip tray and multiple attempts to clean and correct the issue, we resorted to picking up another machine. Would probably be nice to have the ability to replace just the tank. The new machine is good. The new tank does seem to wobble a bit more than the old one did when it's in place, but we haven't noticed any leakage. The coffee dispenses quickly and seems hotter than our old machine.

Siempre atención de primera, aunque en este caso (primera vez para mi), la cafetera tenía un defecto, pero también supongo que eso es posible que pueda pasar a cualquiera! La acabo de regresar y esperando la devolución $$$
