Hamilton Beach 2-Way 12 Cup
Score: 67/100Rankings
The Ninja 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Brewer provides a solid combination of capacity, programmable delay, and precise temperature control, making it a reliable choice for households and small offices. It lacks a built-in grinder and milk frothing capabilities, which may deter coffee-enthusiasts seeking those features. Best suited for users who need large batches with consistent quality without extra accessories.
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.
