The Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Coffee Maker's cone-shaped filter and hot brewing temperature ensure great extraction of coffee's rich flavors for cup after cup of delicious coffee. It's easy to clean, simple to use, and has a handle designed for easy serving.
Q: Cone shaped filter, or basket shaped?
A: #4 cone shaped
A: Unfortunately this unit does not auto shut-off after 2hrs if it doesn’t have any water. You will have to remember to shut it off on your last cup or when ever you’re about to leave your home. I have left it ON before and left my home for about 6 hours and of course it does keep heating the plate. Also any left over coffee will just dry up. Other than that this coffee maker works great. Had it over 6 months. If you’re worried about keeping it ON by accident then you’re better off investing a couple more bucks for a auto shut-off. Hope this helps. Thanks.
Q: Which type of basket is in this coffee maker? Cone or round basket?
A: Thank you for your question. This unit has a cone shaped basket. Place a #4 cone paper filter in filter basket when making coffee.
Q: If, *when*, the carafe breaks, can it be replaced? Is a stainless steel carafe available? TIA
A: There is a 10 cup steel carafe version
Q: What is the wattage rating?
A: Thank you for your question. The coffee maker has a wattage rating of 900 watts.
A: No.
