Our New Coffee Pot is Hot

This coffee maker is fantastic. It's... the Hamilton Beach Brew Station. You flip the lid, pull out the little bucket that holds the coffee and filter, then lift out the big bucket underneath that holds the water. You fill it up, then dump the water into the resevoir in the back part of the machine. Replace the large bucket. Replace the small bucket inside it and add filter, coffee, and all your hopes and dreams. Turn on.

When your coffee is ready, and you hear that bubbly percolating sound that reminds me of my Boston Terrier looking for a lost piece of kibble, you just push your cup up against a button and the coffee falls carelessly into the cup, stirring up your sugar, your milk, your youthful idealism, etc.

This is perfect for quick warm-ups. The only thing not so great about it is it's not the right height for filling up our Starbucks refillable travel mugs. Apart from that, it's lovely. You can't really say there's no carafe, because the carafe is just up inside the machine. BUT there is a little hole at the bottom of the carafe operated by a spring to make the coffee come out in a pleasing way.

Who else here has a baby in one arm and a cup that needs a coffee warm-up in the other? Perfect product for YOU! :)
