I have many Hamilton products. This one just didn’t cut the mustard, or, live up to my regimen to satisfy my morning coffee needs. It is a very slow machine. It takes way to long to get a cup of coffee from this machine, Anyone who is dependent on that first cup of coffee to start your day, this is not the machine for you…especially comparing it to other single cup coffee makers I have had in the past. Unfortunately, this particular maker malfunctioned with excess steam coming out of the back and was spitting water. It is definitely a safety issue. I love all their products, but this one is a clear pass for me.

After a bit of struggle with breaking in the lid closure mechanism the machine works like a charm. One needs to be mindful of cup size before brewing but once accustomed to doing so 8/10/14 cup selection setting is quite handy - it prevents overfill or allows for a slightly stronger brew (especially when used with stronger brew setting. The removable reservoir and piercer/pod holder are very easy to clean. The only downside is that one obscure brand of pods is too thick to be easily pierced. Miniscule problem. Very happy with it overall. Excellant machine for the price.
