If you want your coffee to stay hot and fresh-tasting for a long time, a coffee maker with a thermal carafe is your best choice. Not only does it offer extra-large capacity, the Hamilton Beach Programmable Front-Fill 12 Cup Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe keeps coffee hot for up to 4 hours in its vacuum-sealed thermal carafe. The convenient front-fill design makes it easy to add fresh ground coffee and water. Then right before you brew, quickly rinse the thermal carafe with hot water. This hot-water-rinsing step doesn’t take long, but it makes a big difference, since it warms up the stainless steel to help it hold coffee’s hot temperature longer. And because the thermal carafe is insulating your hot coffee without the need for a heating plate, there’s no fear of coffee losing its fresh, just-brewed flavor. A freshness timer shows you how long since your coffee brewed. This coffee maker comes with a gold-tone reusable filter so you don’t have to purchase paper filters. Set coffee to brew ahead with a programmable timer. And choose from 3 brewing options: bold, regular and 1-4 cups. An auto shutoff feature turns the coffee maker off after brewing stops.

I would recommend this product again and again. My previous coffee maker stopped working and I knew that I needed something similar to match the other stainless steel items in the kitchen. I searched and searched and made my final stop with Home Depot because it has all the special functions that I need. The shipping was exceptional and the box was in good condition. I will definitely be ordering again soon.

This coffee maker was as advertized. It had the thermal carafe and 12 cup capacity we needed. It also has the programming feature for having the coffee waiting for you in the am. We have had it for a couple of months with daily use. It has a no drip pouring spout, which is nice; however, that means that it is difficult to get the last 1 cup out. Overall we are pleased!

Prefer the cone filters; they make a more flavorful, robust cup. They are few and far between. This one fits. the bill.

I love my Hamilton beach 12 cup black programmable front fill coffee maker with thermal carafe. It is very easy to program so you can have your coffee whatever time you want. I bought the Hamilton beach coffee maker mainly for the thermal carafe because I wanted my coffee throughout the morning. This carafe keeps it hot all morning long. I give this coffee pot an A + rating. I love Hamilton beach products.
