The good looking Hamilton Beach 12 cup Classic Stainless Steel accented coffee maker is not just about show. This coffee maker comes with an accelerated brewing and chlorine removing water filter to enhance the taste of your morning beverage. Drip free carafe helps cut down on the spills.

Hamilton Beach 43254 coffeemaker gives you some of the most needed basic features with, with a pause ‘n serve that lets you grab a cup before the brew cycle is done. The 12-cup maker also lets you walk away and forget it with a 2-hour auto shut-off. More features include a programmable clock/timer, drip-free carafe, nonstick hot plate, water level window, and a water filter for great-tasting coffee.

I agree with most other Hamilton Beach 43254 Classic Stainless 12-Cup Coffeemaker
reviewers that this product’s benefits outweigh is drawbacks. The drawbacks were few–there are some minor design flaws, but nothing major. The H-B made coffee at a very hot temperature and maintained that. That was what sold me on this coffee machine.

I feel the H-B coffee maker offers a good value and good design for its price. It doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, but for some that’s an advantage. For those that don’t want a coffee maker that buys and grinds the beans, fills itself , and makes coffee at precisely 7.45 a.m. Those sorts of coffee makers have too many flaws at a low price point and too many features some people never use. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a user-friendly appliance at a fair price.
