We really didn’t have a need for a new coffee maker but on a recent trip to the mall we saw the Hamilton Beach Ensemble on sale and decided to give it a try. The Red color really made it stand out and it brews 12 cups so we thought it would be a great choice.

This machine is very easy to clean and the mouth of the carafe is very wide. This makes it easy to get inside and get those pesky stains out. There aren’t many overly complicated buttons so you won’t need a college degree to program it. The Ensemble is also very light so you can move it around your counter as needed. The brewing speed is good too as I don’t have to wait long for the full 12 cup pot to be filled. One thing that is a small complaint though is when you have 12 cups in there it is really full. Don’t go over the limit or it will overflow. Not a big deal but just remember to not put too much in.

The wide carafe is very nice on the Hamilton Beach Ensemble, and much nicer than ones I have seen in the past. Some cause you to spill on the first cup but not this one. We use a copper reusable filter instead of the paper ones and it works great too. No coffee grounds escape into the carafe. Overall, this is a great coffeemaker for the price. I highly recommend it if you need a full pot every day.
