In all honesty, I probably wouldn’t use the K Cups side myself. Okay, I take it back; I might use it to whip up the occasional instant hot chocolate. Still, if you’re a fan of single Hamilton Beach cup brewers, make sure the single use coffee pods you use are biodegradable.

It also boasts a brew strength control feature and the ability to program your brew. Oh, and be sure to have your cup in place on the drip tray before pressing the cup size button. Just in case you forget, the drip tray is removable, so you can dump the overflow or fit a larger Hamilton Beach cup under the brew head. There’s also a removable drip tray to fit your travel cup under the brew head or easily clean up any accidents.

The water reservoir is filled by flipping up the top lid, and there’s a water level indicator with cup markers on the side of the coffee maker. The Coffee Center comes with a reusable gold tone filter, but you can also use a #4 paper filter to brew coffee.

I would give it 5 stars but the K cup side likes to leak all over from time to time. It brews both sides wonderfully and the filters make it even better. But if I can’t keep water in the single cup side it is an inconvenience.
Light roasts are denser, while dark roasts tend to be oilier than other options. Just take a moment to think, e.g If you’re one to find the hot water never warm enough when you brew, then temp control is inherently important to you too. This 10 cup coffee machine serves its purpose well if you can care for it properly.
