Review on ☕ Hamilton Beach Works with Alexa Smart Coffee Maker: Programmable, 12 Cup Capacity, Black and Stainless Steel (49350) – Certified for Humans by Darlene Myles

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wish I hadn't bought it

My coffee maker has reached its final destination reached so I bought it mainly because I liked that it works with Alexa. I'm the only coffee drinker in my house, so I don't usually brew a full cup. But the only single serve coffee makers are either Trash or Kcup style, which I don't like. So I spent my extra coin on this one. I'm sorry for that. This is a great coffee maker, especially when making a full cup of coffee or for the office. But it doesn't work with Alexa. I synced it, I see it as a device, but Alexa keeps asking me to download another app. Okay, after 37 easy steps, I'm ready to never press a button again! But it still doesn't work with voice commands, only with the app. I would return it if I hadn't already used it. I'll keep it and I'm sure it will last a long time, but if the Alexa feature is your advantage, wait until they improve the technology because it's not there yet.

Pros
  • Brew great tasting coffee, choose between regular or full strength manually or use the Alexa app "Alexa set the brew strength to bold"
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
