Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach - Stay or Go Deluxe Thermal Coffeemaker
Customer Review: I researched the rest. This was the best.
Summary: 5 Stars
This pot doesn't dribble. Push down on the tab that says "Press to Pour" and fill your cup. My wife not being one who either reads the manuals or what it says on the pot, unscrewed the top to pour her first cup from this. Yeah, the top fell off and made a mess.
This insulated carafe keeps the coffee hot for a long time. Much better than our previous one. It is stainless steel inside and out. The temperature of the coffee (8 cups) into a cold carafe is a little more than 180 degrees F. That's the upper limit without burning your lips. The water temp while the coffee is being made ranges from 175 to slightly over 200 at the end. Preheating the carafe would produce a hotter coffee and keep it hot longer but this works well as is.
It comes with 2 travel mugs and an undersized 1 tablespoon long handled coffee scoop. The 2 mugs are black plastic on the inside which some xperts claim gives off harmful chemicals when filled with hot liquids.
The water level inside are clearly marked at 2 cup intervals so you can make the amount you want. A short person might find it difficult to see the 2 and 4 cup levels and odd number amounts would be guess work. The removable coffee filter holder takes ordinary paper filters and is easy to clean. The buttons and indicators are on the front and easy to read. It's programmable. The carafe or cups sit on a perforated disk. This can be removed and any drips sponged out. Good idea so any drips don't run off over the counter.
My wife paid less than 50 bucks for this at a local store.
Good design, good hot coffee at a reasonable price. What more do you need?
After using this coffee maker for over a year, I retract my statement that it doesn't dribble. You could be very careful pouring out a cup slowly without more coffee spilling on the counter but you would have to be wide awake at 5 in the morning to do so. When the pot is down to 4 cups it is less messy.
The two plastic cups provided with the coffee maker have the black plastic on the inside. That's the type of plastic that some say leaches out harmful chemicals into hot liquids. I just threw them away and bought a stainless steel lined travel mug.
This coffee maker works well and the carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours while maintaining the taste.
