On the other hand, the blue power light shines so brightly it's disturbing in low light and it makes it difficult to read the time/operating functions. I love the maker, it works beautifully but it does have some design flaws. **Q: Is the coffee actually, hot?** A: I can't recommend this coffee pot. Go ninja or Cuisinart. **Q: Can the reservoir be filled without removing it? I've gotten used to using my kitchen faucet hose to fill the pot.** A: You can't remove it. You have to open the top all the way to fill. I use the decanter but using the faucet hose I think would be fine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Makes good coffee but the pot has certain annoyances *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2014* This coffee maker produces a good cup of coffee, but there are some problems with it that are very annoying to me.PRO:- Makes a good cup of coffee- The nearly flat cover allows me to place dinner plates on top to preheat them. However, the cover is somewhat slippery and allows the possibility for the plates to slide off and fall onto the counter.- The spout which feeds water from the reservoir is cleverly designed so that merely closing the cover pushes the spout into position over the coffee.- The spout design also will not let any coffee spill while pouring a cup.CON:- The water measure is difficult to read. It is located near the rear right side so if you place the pot in a corner of the counter you must move the pot to measure the water. Plus the display is frosted glass contributing to the difficulty of reading it.- The cover of the pot does not come off. That makes it difficult to pour water in the reservoir without spilling water on the basket holder. If you place it on your counter under a cabinet the non-removable top requires you to slide the pot out from under the cabinet to fill.- The coffee basket has a nozzle which prevents it from lying flat on your counter. This makes it awkward to fill with coffee unless you lay the nozzle over the edge of the counter and take care not to bump it or else coffee will spill out. Or you can place the coffee basket in the pot and fill it there, taking care not to spill coffee into the water reservoir.- The carafe cover is also not detachable making it difficult to wash.- The coffee will not be "good to the last drop" because there is a lip inside the carafe which prevents you from pouring out the final drops of coffee.In my kitchen the only location I have for the pot is in a corner of the counter, under the overhanging cabinet, so I am constantly sliding the pot in and out to use it. The coffeemaker measures 13 ½” high. My cabinet overhang is 17 ¼” above the counter. Not enough room to open the lid to pour water into the reservoir.There are two coffee strength settings “Regular” and “Bold.” They would be better named “Wimpy” and “Acceptable.” But they both do work and make noticeably different strengths of coffee.Conclusion:I wanted a coffee maker with a flat top (for preheating plates) and decent reviews. This pot met those requirements. In time I will either learn to live with the annoyances listed above, or throw the thing out and buy a different coffee maker. You decide if the annoyances are relevant to you. If not, then I recommend this coffeemaker.I gave it a three star rating because it does make acceptable coffee but, for me at least, has major annoyances. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Makes Good Hot Coffee, Carafe Not Easy To Clean *by S***6 on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2020* It keeps the coffee really good & hot for a good long time. We have found a preference for the bold setting. I wanted a coffee maker that did not have the control buttons on the bottom as my husband will often try to get coffee before a pot is finished. Even though most coffee makers are supposed to have a pause feature they end up dripping everywhere which shorted out some of the control buttons on my old coffee maker. That made the delay feature useless on my old maker. My only dislike on this maker is the actual carafe. It has a non removable lid with an extra piece inside the carafe lid that makes it difficult to clean and to place in your rack for drying. I'm sure it is designed that way to help with pouring spills. But neither myself or the husband notice it helping at all. Overall, this coffee maker does have a nice sleek look. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Good Coffee But Is It Worth The Wait *by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2020* This puts out good tasting coffee but it takes 45 minutes to make the full pot and it has taken this length of time to make coffee since the day it arrived. I have tolerated this because I spent hundreds of dollars on coffee makers in 2018, as they obviously are making them designed to break, and I am talking about cheap coffee makers on up to the $150 coffee makers. May as well stick to buying the cheap ones because none of them will last.I turn this coffee maker on and then fix up a four cup coffee maker and turn that on, so that within minutes I will have a cup of coffee from the four cup coffee maker, while I wait the 45 minutes out to get a full pot of coffee from this coffee maker.I have had this coffee maker since June of 2019. It is the longest lasting coffee maker I have had in several years and I do not consider seven months to be a long time. I am always prepared with an extra coffee maker on hand. I think it is pretty bad that we have to clutter up our homes with extra coffee makers because they do not make them to last, as they did used to last for years, once upon a time.Actually, I am kind of hoping this coffee maker will do like the ever so many coffee makers I have purchased, as in to hurry up and break already. I am tired of the 45 minute wait for the coffee to be made. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/1220547-hamilton-beach-12-cup-programmable-ensemble-coffee-maker-regular-bold](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1220547-hamilton-beach-12-cup-programmable-ensemble-coffee-maker-regular-bold) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
