Hamilton Beach Scoop single serve coffee maker
I purchased this coffee maker after owning the stainless steel version. This was less expensive but works pretty much the same. I like the fact that you put the amount of water in for the size cup you want instead of relying on the machine to get it right. I say this because of previous experience with much more expensive machines that never worked properly. The more expensive machines didn’t hold up well either. You can use any coffee you want without spending a lot on K-cups. The coffee is always hot and brewed perfectly. It has a coffee strainer basket and a secondary mesh filter and both must be rinsed between each cup to prevent a backup that might cause it to run over, a simple easy process. It shuts off automatically after each use. It will also shut off if you forget to put water in it. It has cup trays on two levels, one to accommodate a tall cup then one that folds out at a higher level for a small cup to prevent splashing. This is a well designed inexpensive single serve coffee maker. It’s attractive enough and fits anywhere. You get a great cup of coffee every time. Note; I don’t just scoop with the strainer, I measure with a tablespoon for consistent strength and flavor. You don’t want to dip the wet scoop in your ground coffee after you rinse it anyway.

Quick & simple, makes terrific coffee!
Hamilton Beach makes excellent products; I had their 2-way coffee maker for about 8-9 years and it just finally quit. I’m the only coffee drinker in the house, and I was tired of the larger footprint from my previous coffee maker (I never used the 12 cup pot, just the single cup side of the machine). I simply wanted to pour one cup of water, scoop & dump the grounds and press “BREW”. This machine fits all my criteria: appears well-made, small footprint, piping hot coffee, quiet, fast brew speed, adjustable cup rest to avoid splashes, filter basket for grounds, automatic shut off, and NO clock! I control the size of the cup from 8-16 oz. Just wanted a quick, simple way to get a hot cuppa joe and I’m delighted. Five stars7 MO FOLLOW UP— July 2025 still works great! I use it about 3x every day.

Basically the worst coffee maker that looks nearly identical to the best coffee maker (read review)
This has to be the worst case of bait and switch ever. I love the idea of "The Scoop". The convenience of a Keurig, but with no post consumer waste and way better coffee. The first generation "The Scoop" which was all chrome looking from what I understand was great, but lacked a removable water tank and you had to refill it with every cup. The second generation was FANTASTIC. Removable tank. Selectable brew size. "Bold" mode. This third generation looks close enough to the second generation that you'd be tempted to think it was the same item. FALSE. I bought one for my mom since I loved my own 2nd gen so much. The 3rd gen is about on par with one of those crappy en-suite coffee makers you find in a cheap hotel. The 3rd gen brews a large by default. If you want a smaller cup, I KID YOU NOT the recommendations per the instructions is to unplug the coffee maker?!?!?! Cheap cheap cheap. Such a bummer they discontinued the 2nd generation. This new one sucks and should be avoided.

Works good.
Easy to use. But it does splatter a little when it drips. But the coffee is good and the temperature is perfect!

Perfect For Individual Coffee Making
My wife and I have very different tastes when it comes to coffee and this handy little machine is perfect for our needs. It's got a slim profile and takes up minimal space on our kitchen countertop while having the capacity to brew a 'large' 16-oz single serving. It's simple to operate and shuts itself off after it's done with a simple "Brew" button to activate it. The double metal mesh filtration does an excellent job of keeping the grounds in place and makes cleanup a breeze. They only require a quick rinse under the faucet and a wipe-down of the brewing chamber with a paper towel to keep things running smoothly. The scoop capacity allows us to customize the amount of grounds used in each 'cup' brewed, which is important as she's a 'strong and black' drinker while I prefer mine to be less powerful and mix-and-match creamers for different flavors depending on my mood. It works quickly, taking only a couple of minutes to brew and dispense the cup, and the temperature is hot but not scalding. The two-minute cool-down in between brewing cups means we can enjoy our own preferred drinks together on the weekends while still making that quick cup on demand in the mornings before the workday without having to fight over who goes first.
