Hamilton Beach One Press
Score: 78/100
Black+Decker Digital 12-Cup Coffee Maker
Score: 74/100Rankings
The Hamilton Beach One Press 12-Cup Coffee Maker features a unique lever-dispensing system and a sealed glass reservoir that keeps coffee hot for up to four hours, with programmable brewing. Its reliance on ground coffee only and a hard-to-read level window are notable compromises. Great for users who prioritize mess-free dispensing and freshness.
The BLACK+DECKER CM1160B is a 12-cup digital drip coffee maker with fast heating, a 24-hour timer and a convenient Sneak-A-Cup feature, making it a solid budget choice. It lacks brew-strength control and premium materials, limiting appeal to coffee aficionados. Best suited for families or small offices that need reliable, scheduled brewing without extra frills.

Professional reviewers commend the One Press for its innovative lever-dispensing system that delivers coffee with virtually no drips, a consistently high brew temperature of 168 °F, and a sealed glass reservoir that preserves flavor. The digital clock and 24-hour programmable start are highlighted as user-friendly, while the only notable drawback noted by experts is the hard-to-read front coffee-level window.
Everyday users repeatedly praise the mess-free dispensing, the ability to keep coffee hot and fresh longer, and the convenience of programmable brewing and tall-mug compatibility. The most common complaint mirrors the expert view: the front-facing level window is difficult to read, and some note the lack of pod compatibility.
“"brews a 10-cup pot in approximately 10 minutes"”
“"coffee temperature consistently reaches a piping hot 168°F (71°C)"”
“"Eliminates messy pouring and carafe handling; coffee dispenses cleanly with minimal drips when the cup is removed"”
Professional reviewers, such as Coffeeness, label the CM1160 series as the best budget drip maker, highlighting its fast 975 W heating, compact size, and solid two-year warranty, while noting the lack of strength control, temperature adjustment, and SCA certification makes it unsuitable for coffee aficionados seeking precision.
Everyday users consistently commend the machine's ease of use, reliable programmable timer, and family-size capacity, with particular praise for the mess-free Sneak-A-Cup feature; complaints are minimal in the limited feedback available.
