Amazon.com Review
Great for a one- or two-person home or for a quick pick-me-up at work, the Hamilton Beach Aroma Express coffeemaker offers the capabilities of a full-grown machine in a compact form. Just 10-1/2 inches high, the machine features a wide-mouth water reservoir and a swing-out filter basket for easy access and removal. Hamilton Beach builds in a stop-and-pour feature--so you can get a cup mid-brew--and a power switch that illuminates when the machine is on. The 25-ounce carafe is manageable and tidy, with a generous pour spout and a comfortable handle, while the nonstick hot plate ensures that your second cup is as deliciously hot as the first. Both the filter basket and carafe on this model can go in the dishwasher. --Emily Bedard

More of a mess maker
This coffee maker makes coffee, but it also makes a huge mess. It is practically impossible to pour the coffee into your cup without getting almost as much on the kitchen counter! I think it is the extra wide spout and the reason they give you 5 cups instead of 4 in the pot. This spillage also happens when pouring the water into the reservoir. Also, it you remove the carafe during brewing, it is not drip free. It will dribble and splash against the coffee maker. The coffee making is fairly quick and quiet. I prefer my old coffee maker that had a slide out basket and a pot that was easier to deal with.

This little coffeemaker does just what it's supposed to do.
Other reviewers have complained about spillage or dripping with this product. I didn't encounter these problems. This is a small coffeemaker! It only makes five, 5-oz cups of coffee. If you make a full 25-oz pot and then move it quickly, you'll spill some coffee. The same goes for filling the water chamber to make coffee. If, on the other hand, you realize you're dealing with a small, full pot and act accordingly, you won't have any problems. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. It makes small amounts of good coffee quickly and easily. For under $15, what more can you ask for.

DRIPPY AND MESSY
My mother swore by Hamilton Beach appliances. This is one that I find myself swearing at! The carafe itself is very drippy - I cannot pour a cup of coffee without having to wipe down the counter afterwards. The paper filters constantly collapse in the brewing basket and then come out drippy and messy also.

I miss my old Mellita - This coffee maker needs alot of help.

Sorry Hamilton Beach - I'm calling it as I see it!
