Hamilton Beach (43254R) Ensemble 12 Cup Coffeemaker Reviews

We have no problems with this coffee maker. We've been using it daily for about a month now and love it.. the pot doesn't leak when you pour it, but it does take about 10 minutes to brew 8-9 cups so it's a little slow but not horrible. It's a good product

This coffee pot has been a great addition as a good, low cost, lots of plus features and has a pot that pours without dripping. I think it is the first EVER. I have always had very expensive coffee makers so this is my first inexpensive try. I am tired of replacing these expensive coffee makers every two (or less) years. Thought I would try something that if it lasts one year, I am money ahead. Coffee is also very good so 'well done' to Hamilton Beach.

This was sent as a gift for someone setting up a new home. He was tired of the K-cup system. This pot allows him to brew 1-4 cups or a full pot. Recipient informed us he is very satisfied with this appliance. "Beats making one cup at a time". This will be used more as winter time rolls around...the programmable features will allow waking up to freshly brewed java, put it in a Contigo travel cup before heading off to work in the AM and save money by not stopping for expensive brewed coffee every day. No complaints so far.

This is my second purchase. The first one I had for 7 years. The only reason I replaced it was the rim on the pot cracked. I decided to get a new one instead of replace the carafe. It brews quickly & reheats just as fast. This is the best coffeemaker I ever had! ^_^

Good product for the money and does what I wanted it do make good coffee in the morning with auto-program while I get ready for work. The 2 hour auto shut off and the brew selection for regular & bold is also bonus for the buck. Site to store order wasn't bad having the product delivered and ready for pick up 3 days ahead of schedule. I have not seen a sexy coffee maker, didn't buy this to make sexy coffee because coffee is always nasty to me though it keeps me a wake to do my business and this just makes good coffee. If any body needs a fancy coffee maker then may be spend more $$$$$$ and buy a "Hollywood Maker" which makes the same coffee as this model. I have owned this product for 2 month now and the only reason why I am giving 4 stars is that I know it will fail down the road just don't know when. Other than that I didn't have any problem with this Hamilton beach Ensemble. Once again good coffee maker for the money, no dribble, and keeps coffee hot!!!!!

This is the second time I have purchased this item. The previous one finally gave out so I went back to the same item because it held up for 5 or so years and the price is so reasonable I had to get the same one. It doesn't have a bunch of bells and whistles but it makes coffee and after all that was the purpose to begin with. It has served well. I'm happy and would buy it again and again.

Love the fact that it is programmable and when we get up, the coffee is made. Very nice, sleek, modern design that looks beautiful on the counter. It is easy to fill with water and it pours without slopping up the counter. The only thing I don't like is that it shuts off after 2 hours.

Was upset when I blew my old coffee maker, but found this one on line and liked what I saw. I ordered for in store pickup. Took longer than expected, but was worth the wait. As I unpacked it, I smiled at each step. The setup was easy and well explained. The only downside is that it threw my morning ritual off. I was accustomed to making coffee in the morning, now I make it at night, push the button, and wake up to the smell of coffee. In the morning I keep thinking there is something I should be doing. I think I'll get over it, lol.

I have purchsed MANY coffee makers and this is the BEST I have had. We are pretty hard on the machine and we have very hard water, I replaced the one I had with the same and bought another to have at home "just in case". WalMarts price beat KMarts hands down! I was so impressed my friend also got one.

The best thing about this coffee maker is that condensation drips back in the reservoir instead of down the outside of the back. Had a premium brand and every time you open it to make a new pot water leaked down the back. If you look at all the bands in the stores you can see the ones to avoid. Works good, looks good, priced good. Buy it.
