Review on Hamilton Beach 46700 Programmable Automatic by Wendy Ducy

Can't believe it's $200. It's very unintuitive at best, and non-existent at worst, as almost every function and feature revolves around pressing and holding a single "Select" button. I couldn't even figure out how to set the time outside of the correct hour as "press and hold select" when resetting the time takes me to a different menu. If they only spent a few bucks on the interface it could... It was a great product but as long as it sits it's a nuisance. If you try to measure and pour your coffee before you get to the right step, you'll either have to trick the machine into thinking you've added more, or start over and hope you can get back to the brew menu again. I was wondering if this would be an alternative to my morning crunch aero press, but so far to no avail. Makes good coffee? It's decent, but nothing exceptional. Definitely not worth the hassle or money. If you read the directions daily and brew coffee for a few days, it's serviceable, but I wouldn't recommend anyone paying $200 for a coffee maker. the cheapest on the shelves.
