Hamilton Seashore The Scoop Single Serve Espresso Maker & Quick Grounds Brewer for 8-14oz. Cups, Brews in Minutes, Black (47620), Subsequent Gen

Quick & simple, makes terrific coffee!
Hamilton Beach makes excellent products; I had their 2-way coffee maker for about 8-9 years and it just finally quit. I’m the only coffee drinker in the house, and I was tired of the larger footprint from my previous coffee maker (I never used the 12 cup pot, just the single cup side of the machine). I simply wanted to pour one cup of water, scoop & dump the grounds and press “BREW”. This machine fits all my criteria: appears well-made, small footprint, piping hot coffee, quiet, fast brew speed, adjustable cup rest to avoid splashes, filter basket for grounds, automatic shut off, and NO clock! I control the size of the cup from 8-16 oz. Just wanted a quick, simple way to get a hot cuppa joe and I’m delighted. Five stars

Makes decent coffee, not easy to clean.
This machine is replacing a simple brew coffeemaker. I was looking for taste, simplicity and speed in a model that might actually last longer than a year. I’ve purchased so many, different kinds, and they seem to burn out fairly quickly. The coffee is good, not amazing, the speed probably taking away from that. Each cup takes about 2-3 minutes. The water situation is a little odd. I get a similar size cup of coffee whether I fill for the 8 or the 14 oz cup. Seems hot enough. The drip is messy, splattering around the cup no matter the size. I use a work around with a tall travel mug. After the machine is finished brewing, you get the fun of trying to clean the dual filters, and the part that dispenses the water. Not easy, it’s annoying, and takes more time than it should. It’s still early in the purchase, so I’m hoping to figure out an easier way to clean it. I’ll hang on to it, for now.

So far so great!!
2nd edit: XMCOSOCS single serve coffee filters are ‘sometimes sold together’. They seem small. Do they work. Rufus doesn’t know and there’s no way to get any kind of response from Hamilton Beach. No answer to my emails about replacing a filter my cat chewed up, or paper filters to line it. Help!Edit: no parts available for this product. I followed the trail and apparently if you need something you have to buy a new machine. Our cat thought our filter was a chew toy. We won’t bother with Hamilton Beach anything anymore.My husband has been using a 12 cup just for himself for years. He finally started drinking less and throwing a lot out.He recently visited his cousin. They have a Keurig and he fell in love with the idea.I wasn’t crazy about the $$$ but as I searched I discovered single serve coffee makers can have a reasonable $. I ordered two. A habit of mine when I really don’t know what I want.Being single serve he was able to try them together since he he typically drinks three cups a day.The other brand wasn’t hot enough. This one is perfect.There are reviews not liking the splash. I consider it minor. It’s pretty much at the top of the back and of course there are always drips after you pull the cup out just like a large coffee pot. I don’t mind doing a quick wipe of the back, and the drip plate comes out and it’s very easy to wipe out.I’m grateful to have more counter space. It’s very easy to move around. I much prefer white appliances in the kitchen. It’s much brighter and appears more spacious.He’s very happy that his coffee has that strong Louisiana flavor. Community Coffee. I call it his Cajun coffee. Far too strong for me!!One extremely important factor about this sweet little machine is that it come with a permanent double filter. (The 2nd one catches any extra grounds, though that hasn’t happened. Put them out, empty the grounds, rinse. We have a drain strainer that catches everything so no grounds go down the sink.NO PLASTIC GOING LANDFILLS! You recycle? Great. But do you know how much energy recycling requires?There are machines with more bells and whistles but this one is perfect for my husband. It always pays to have a happy Honey.

Durable, Convenient, Fast Delivery!
My coffee maker from Hamilton beach which include a cup and a pot in it lasted for 5 years. It finally give in, so, I was looking for a new one with just a cup of coffee serving. Thankfully, I found this on Amazon. It has some fresh new good reviews, but that wasn’t the reason why I’ve decided to purchase this product. I bought this product because of the brand name: Hamilton Beach. They make excellent quality coffee makers product. And my previous one lasted 5 years! So I know I’ll give this one a try! And to my surprise, it works fantastic! Easy to clean and and easy to follow directions from manual. And I’ve been enjoying this coffee maker since I bought it! I know for sure that with proper care, this product will last me another 5 years! Woot! Thank you Hamilton beach! I love my fresh cup of ground coffee from your coffee makers! Thank you very much!

Coffee seems to be ok but I like to set it to come on in the morning rather than get up to make it

Bought this to replace a much fancier all in one name brand that bit the dust by extravagantly breaking apart while spinning its pod.Let’s be honest – this is not the fanciest coffee maker on the market. It takes a couple of minutes to brew, sure – but honestly, for the price and the freedom of having a simple mesh basket to use your own grinds, the value for money is absolutely there. Note that it doesn’t force water through like a pod system, but is more like a miniaturized coffee maker – not quite as slow as a drip, but it’s the same type of brewing, just into a smaller basket.Initially I felt disappointed by the simplicity of this coffee maker, but once I got over myself and realized all I was really missing was marketing and sunk costs from the usual fancy pod systems, I’ve grown to love this little thing. It makes a good cup of coffee. I find I get the best results with somewhere finer than a medium grind – I’d say a fine(ish) grind level.Really the only (small) sticking point I have is that it has no water reservoir, so you have to fill every time you use it. I can’t fault it for that either though, as this means it takes up much less counter space.If you can’t justify making a pot a day, this should be all you need. Not to mention that you really get bang for your buck with using your own coffee without having to mess with 3rd party pod adapters or anything like that. I had a 950g tin of coffee last 2.5months using this once daily. This would honestly make a great gift for a student coffee drinker living in a dorm.

Update: 09-27-2024. They have offered to replace under warranty. Different model, cheaper, listed at 35$ but I have to pay 30$ plus tax for shipping. Lousy result for me!I liked the coffee maker, but it just stopped working one day. Purchased Jun 2, 2024, it stopped working first or second week of Sep 2024. I cannot return for a refund. With tax (in Canada) I paid just over $75 for this machine and it worked for only 3 months.
