Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach 43253 Ensemble 12-Cup Coffeemaker, Red
Customer Review: Great Coffee Maker - Great Coffee
Summary: 5 Stars
This replaces my $99 KitchenAid Empire Red coffee maker and what an improvement! Half the price and the coffee tastes much better. (The red's about the same too so it matches my KitchenAid toaster.) My first KitchenAid croaked after 3 weeks (the electronics/clock failed) so they sent me a replacement that was forever leaking if the carafe wasn't positioned exactly right. Then a couple weeks ago I started getting a lot of grounds in my coffee and coffee all over the counter so I checked Consumer Reports and the reviews out here and settled on the Hamilton Beach Ensemble. I kind of miss the KitchenAid's bright red digital display of the clock (this unit has black numbers on a gray background) but, other than that, it's easy to set the clock and the turn-on time, brew time is comparable, the auto shut-off feature is a must for me, and I can't get over how much better the coffee tastes. (The word I'd use is "crisper", if that makes any sense.) I have very hard water so I've ordered the optional water filter kit. I suspect that'll be a good investment that will prolong the life of the unit. Hamilton Beach says it also improves the coffee flavor ... if so I'll probably explode :-)
