    • What buyers say about Hamilton Beach 49980Z


    Some people like to brew their own coffee, and the cup side Brewer has an optional small Pod holder for that.


    The 12-cup filter basket is superior to the coffee maker I replaced and it is a big plus to me because my previous machine seemed to have a mind of its own when I brew more than 6 cups.


    I wanted to give him a Father's Day gift that would make him happy, and that was the Hamilton Beach Two Way Brewer.


    The carafe is the best design I have ever seen. I have had coffeemakers with glass-lipped carafes that dribble on the counter while pouring a cup, but this one has a single-piece molded plastic rim/pouring spout, which makes it easy to clean.


    I have not figured out how much coffee to use on that side, so I am not sure if I like it or not.

    Common Questions

    Q:

    Where can I purchase replacement carafe?

    A:

    It seems Hamilton doesn't care about existing customers, just about selling another expensive coffee maker.

    Q:

    Is it possible for the glass carafe to be washed in the dishwasher?

    A:

    I would wash both by hand, I'm sure it would be fine.

    Q:

    Is it possible to pour without dribbling?

    A:

    Yes, from the carafe.

    Q:

    How is this different from hamilton beach 49980a single serve coffee maker and full pot coffee maker, which are both identical but twice the cost?

    A:

    I bought this unit as a gift and didn't spend a lot of money on it.

    Q:

    Is it possible to make less than 12 cups on the carafe side?

    A:

    Measure the amount of water you want, pour it into the resevoir, and add coffee and brew.
