Hamilton Beach The Scoop Single Serve Coffee Maker & Fast Grounds Brewer for 8-14oz. Cups, Brews in Minutes, Black (47620), Next Gen

My husband is the only one who drinks coffee in the mornings, but pods are too expensive. This is a great answer to those overpriced options. A small countertop footprint, reusable, easy to clean filter and 14 oz capacity make this the best answer for our home. We haven't had any issues with splashing, but I use a tall tumbler under the drip spout that doesn't leave much of a gap for that to happen. I can see that it might be an issue for people using a smaller cup with th fold-down ledge, though. Still, this is a great buy for the price!

I purchased this coffee maker after owning the stainless steel version. This was less expensive but works pretty much the same. I like the fact that you put the amount of water in for the size cup you want instead of relying on the machine to get it right. I say this because of previous experience with much more expensive machines that never worked properly. The more expensive machines didn’t hold up well either. You can use any coffee you want without spending a lot on K-cups. The coffee is always hot and brewed perfectly. It has a coffee strainer basket and a secondary mesh filter and both must be rinsed between each cup to prevent a backup that might cause it to run over, a simple easy process. It shuts off automatically after each use. It will also shut off if you forget to put water in it. It has cup trays on two levels, one to accommodate a tall cup then one that folds out at a higher level for a small cup to prevent splashing. This is a well designed inexpensive single serve coffee maker. It’s attractive enough and fits anywhere. You get a great cup of coffee every time. Note; I don’t just scoop with the strainer, I measure with a tablespoon for consistent strength and flavor. You don’t want to dip the wet scoop in your ground coffee after you rinse it anyway.

Let me start by saying I’ve always had a Hamilton Beach. I am single and I usually have one or 2 cups a day at Tops. I’ve always had their single serve scoop. The one that has the stainless on the outside. I’ve had three of them not because they stopped working just because over the years even with regular cleaning, they just start to show their age so every three or four years I would replace it. The older version of this one is a workhorse stainless outside quick easy and they stop making it and this is their replacement. And this coffee maker replacement for something good the company had this one is the biggest piece of garbage ever produced by human hands. We’ve all gotten taken when ordering online, but this thing takes the prize. Not only is it so cheaply made with all cheap plastic when brewing it smells like plastic when brewing it drips out so slow and even keeping the cup up close to where the water comes out it’s still sparks out so you get a little spurts and it’s much longer than the original model to make one single cup. Unfortunately, the company again stopped making the previous version all stainless outside for whatever reason I am returning this when you take it out of the box it almost looks like a child’s toy complete garbage now I have to find a replacement another company that makes something similar to what I had.

I use this most days and it does an adequate job at making coffee. Usually takes about five minutes from when I start making a cup until the cup is ready. One issue is that it does leave splashes all around the coffee maker but that's easily solved by wiping it up. What gets a little annoying is that often times the coffee grounds go through the filter and I have to then remove the bottom filter to clean it. Ultimately though it accomplishes what it needs to, which is enabling me to make one cup of drip coffee with minimal investment and without having to use paper filters or boil an entire pot. For coffee snobs this probably won't do the trick but for someone who just needs good enough, this is excellent.

Hamilton Beach makes excellent products; I had their 2-way coffee maker for about 8-9 years and it just finally quit. I’m the only coffee drinker in the house, and I was tired of the larger footprint from my previous coffee maker (I never used the 12 cup pot, just the single cup side of the machine). I simply wanted to pour one cup of water, scoop & dump the grounds and press “BREW”. This machine fits all my criteria: appears well-made, small footprint, piping hot coffee, quiet, fast brew speed, adjustable cup rest to avoid splashes, filter basket for grounds, automatic shut off, and NO clock! I control the size of the cup from 8-16 oz. Just wanted a quick, simple way to get a hot cuppa joe and I’m delighted. Five stars 7 MO FOLLOW UP— July 2025 still works great! I use it about 3x every day. Update May 2026: still chugging along! I clean it about every month with white vinegar to remove any calcium buildup (my BRITA pitcher doesn’t catch everything), and it works as well as it did 16 months ago. I use it at least 3-4x daily, and can report zero problems. This coffeemaker is the workhorse of my kitchen. When an appliance exceeds expectations, it deserves a great review.

This coffee maker is actually a great improvement over the first version. The original version used to drip for a few minutes after brewing. I have yet to see a single post-brew drip with this upgraded version. It brews super fast and is compatible with optional mini coffee filters, but they are not required.

This machine is replacing a simple brew coffeemaker. I was looking for taste, simplicity and speed in a model that might actually last longer than a year. I’ve purchased so many, different kinds, and they seem to burn out fairly quickly. The coffee is good, not amazing, the speed probably taking away from that. Each cup takes about 2-3 minutes. The water situation is a little odd. I get a similar size cup of coffee whether I fill for the 8 or the 14 oz cup. Seems hot enough. The drip is messy, splattering around the cup no matter the size. I use a work around with a tall travel mug. After the machine is finished brewing, you get the fun of trying to clean the dual filters, and the part that dispenses the water. Not easy, it’s annoying, and takes more time than it should. It’s still early in the purchase, so I’m hoping to figure out an easier way to clean it. I’ll hang on to it, for now.

My wife and I have very different tastes when it comes to coffee and this handy little machine is perfect for our needs. It's got a slim profile and takes up minimal space on our kitchen countertop while having the capacity to brew a 'large' 16-oz single serving. It's simple to operate and shuts itself off after it's done with a simple "Brew" button to activate it. The double metal mesh filtration does an excellent job of keeping the grounds in place and makes cleanup a breeze. They only require a quick rinse under the faucet and a wipe-down of the brewing chamber with a paper towel to keep things running smoothly. The scoop capacity allows us to customize the amount of grounds used in each 'cup' brewed, which is important as she's a 'strong and black' drinker while I prefer mine to be less powerful and mix-and-match creamers for different flavors depending on my mood. It works quickly, taking only a couple of minutes to brew and dispense the cup, and the temperature is hot but not scalding. The two-minute cool-down in between brewing cups means we can enjoy our own preferred drinks together on the weekends while still making that quick cup on demand in the mornings before the workday without having to fight over who goes first.

Muito bom produto.

Bought this to replace a much fancier all in one name brand that bit the dust by extravagantly breaking apart while spinning its pod. Let's be honest - this is not the fanciest coffee maker on the market. It takes a couple of minutes to brew, sure - but honestly, for the price and the freedom of having a simple mesh basket to use your own grinds, the value for money is absolutely there. Note that it doesn't force water through like a pod system, but is more like a miniaturized coffee maker - not quite as slow as a drip, but it's the same type of brewing, just into a smaller basket. Initially I felt disappointed by the simplicity of this coffee maker, but once I got over myself and realized all I was really missing was marketing and sunk costs from the usual fancy pod systems, I've grown to love this little thing. It makes a good cup of coffee. I find I get the best results with somewhere finer than a medium grind - I'd say a fine(ish) grind level. Really the only (small) sticking point I have is that it has no water reservoir, so you have to fill every time you use it. I can't fault it for that either though, as this means it takes up much less counter space. If you can't justify making a pot a day, this should be all you need. Not to mention that you really get bang for your buck with using your own coffee without having to mess with 3rd party pod adapters or anything like that. I had a 950g tin of coffee last 2.5months using this once daily. This would honestly make a great gift for a student coffee drinker living in a dorm.

Perfect for single person. Easy to use and clean. Coffee tastes great.

Déçu, le nouveau model bien plus cheap que les autres d'avant. (c'était ma deuxième cafetière, pour offrir un cadeau similaire à ce que j'ai ) mais s'est une poubelle de plastique, ils ont by passé la qualité. (réservoir trop petit, pas de niveau d'H2O visible, imposable a laver, buton non intuitive, aucun réglage, pas de bold, matériaux de plastique style Dollarama). Ca vaut même pas 10$CAD. Une arnaque, désolé amazone.

I like it. You have to wait a few minutes to make a second cup so not good if your in a rush. But still a good coffeemaker.
