Q: what is the difference between a Hamilton Beach # 49976 & a model # 49940 ?
A: I know the question is old, but for anyone else with the same question: I received both model #s for Christmas, and according to the boxes, there is no difference. Every word on the packaging is the same. The only difference is there is a slight color difference in the packaging. The only thing I can think of is they are for different re-sellers. The 49940 came from Sam's Club, and the 49976 (same as Best Buy) came from Amazon. There also appears to be a price difference.
A: The answer is Yes only does one cup at a time. One large cup of water which is what I use for 3 scoops of coffee fills the reservoir. But I love it because you can use the K cup or they give you the other fitting for your own coffee. Plus my husband using the other side for is pot of coffee...two coffee makers for the price of one...got to love it. OH and the coffee comes out boiling hot which is great...hate these makers that come out Luke warm...
A: For the carafe, a paper filter is necessary as it is not mesh. The smaller filter, for use with the single cup, is mesh, but we still use the tiny filters with that, too.
A: Response from Hamilton Beach team below is a flat out lie. This is a common occurrence. Same thing happened to my machine. Water won't pump from reservoir to cup. Not a needle issue as it was not clogged and I don't use the K-cups, only the adapter for ground coffee. Unfortunately mine is out of warranty and now can only use carafe side.
A: Thank you for your question. You can use the #1 cone filters for the single serve side of this coffee maker.
A: It will take a minute but not much longer than that to heat up the water. Yes, I sometimes place the water in the single serve side at night and place the Kcup in the chamber so all I have to do is hit the button in the morning.
A: Yes it comes with its own adapter to use your own coffee. In other words you’re not stuck with using the Keurig coffee pods.
