Bella 14755 with Brew Strength Selector vs Hamilton Beach 46320

At first I was very happy with this coffee maker. It looks classy, and matches great with my appliances. We did a couple tests side-by-side with my old coffee maker. This one takes slightly longer to make a pot of coffee, but makes much hotter coffee, well worth the extra 30-40 seconds! It seems to keep the coffee hotter after it is made as well

Now to the brewing process. It’s a little slow for a full pot to brew up (13-15min) , however that’s minor to how HOT the coffee temp is after it’s brewed and tastes great! Looking forward to having an alert mode for cleaning as a reminder after 60 pots made. Four stars for now to see how long this coffee machine will last! Hopefully years?!?!?!

The heat partially popped the stainless steel front off only after a few uses, the flavor of the coffee is mediocre, and the machine has so many crevices in the top it’s impossible to clean. I had bought this to replace a brand new $30 Mr. Coffee pot that was a piece of junk and honestly this wasn’t much better.

Because this Hamilton Beach coffee maker does not brew like the OXO did. The coffee is bland; I have to put it on "Bold" setting just to get some taste into the brew. On the plus side, the Hamilton Beach is easy to program and easy to fill both the reservoir and the basket. And even though the carafe is glass, the coffee is kept hot for a long time

I finally found this one and decided to take a chance. I’m glad I did! Although it’s simple, it’s mighty. This just makes a good cup of joe. It’s simple, good coffee made simply, and wonderfully

Some may not like that look though, that's why mentioning it. The front controls are ok, kind of lacking though. The display seems nice now, though other brands have used displays like this and they fade on brightness over time.
