Hamilton Beach 2-Way Programmable Coffee Maker 12-Cup Glass Carafe

This Hamilton Beach 2-Way Programmable Coffee Maker offers flexible brewing for busy households. It supports both single cup and full carafe brewing, letting you choose up to 14 oz for a cup or travel mug on the single-serving side and up to 12 cups on the carafe side with ground coffee ☕️.

Designed for convenience, this model is easy to use for daily coffee rituals and reduces waste by avoiding need for disposable pods. The included mesh scoop makes it simple to add your preferred ground coffee to the single-serve side, and you can program wake-up coffee up to 24 hours in advance for a ready cup in the morning. AutoPause & Pour lets you grab a cup mid-brew without waiting for the full pot, adding a practical touch to busy mornings. Two separate water reservoirs let you fill each side independently, with clear water windows so you always know the remaining liquid on both sides.

Key Points

The single-serve side uses a mesh scoop for quick, scoop-and-brew preparation, while the carafe side accommodates a full pot for gatherings or longer work sessions. It provides bold or regular brew strength options to match different tastes, and the two-reservoir design helps keep portions consistent across uses. This model’s black finish with stainless steel accents gives a clean, versatile look that fits many kitchens.
