Hamilton Beach Personal Cup One Cup Pod Brewer
This is another great one cup coffee maker from Hamilton Beach. Unlike the Hamilton Beach Personal Cup One Cup Pod Brewer this one is good because it can fit a taller mug and not just a short one, so you can enjoy a taller coffee. The catch to that is that it may require 2 Senseo coffee pods to make a coffee strong enough to fill that tall mug and still taste great. But this unit does include 18 free Senseo coffee cops, which makes up for that to a certain extent.
This Stay or Go Pod Brewer brews coffee a little faster than the One Cup POD Brewer. That alone is worth the extra $10 in price. That actually makes it 50% more expensive than the One Cup Pod Brewer, but hey $30 isn`t that much more than $20. If it was a difference between a $100 unit and a $150 unit, that would be a bigger deal.
One thing to note about this Hamilton Beach coffee maker is that it does not include a travel mug, even though it includes 18 free coffee pods. I don`t quite understand the logic there. But these days you can always head over to the dollar store and grab yourself a cheap $1 mug and use that as your portable travel mug. Like the One Cup Pod Brewer, this unit is made of mostly plastic and is not as durable as a more expensive unit. But that could make it perfect for travel or other situations in which your coffee maker -no matter how much you paid for it- will take a beating.
The bottom line is that for such an inexpensive single serve coffee maker, this one makes great coffee, brews quickly, and can make large 14 oz coffees. And you get 18 free Senseo coffee pods. For $30 it`s a no-brainer, unless you really want a super durable high quality unit. In which case I`d recommend a Keurig coffee maker.
