Score: 66/100
Hamilton Beach 2-Way 12 Cup
Score: 67/100Rankings
The Hamilton Beach 2-Way 12-Cup offers flexible brewing options, allowing users to make a full pot or a single cup without needing pods, and includes a 24-hour timer and auto-pause pour. Its glass carafe's fragility and occasional missing instructions are notable drawbacks. Ideal for small households that want both full-pot and single-serve capability without pod costs.
The Keurig K-Mini is an ultra-compact single-serve coffee maker that brews 6-12 oz cups using K-Cup pods. Its tiny water reservoir and lack of pod storage limit convenience for frequent use. Best for solo drinkers in dorms, RVs or small apartments who prioritize size and simplicity.
