When we chose this coffee maker for our Hamilton Beach review, we couldn’t help but wonder why our physical workplace didn’t already have this machine. This ingenious little machine features an enclosed brewing system. When you’re ready for a pick-me-up, just press the lever and the coffee maker will dispense one cup at a time.
We love how much more sanitary this Hamilton Beach coffee maker is than other models. Rather than toying with a carafe and risking the spread of germs, the carafe-less design allows you to simply sanitize the dispenser bar before and after each pour.

We simply love the coffee maker we’ve chosen for our Nespresso by De’Longhi review. This beautiful appliance is a single cup coffee maker, and it’s designed to work solely with Nespresso Vertuo capsules. That’s because a unique bar code technology will assist your smart coffee maker in creating the perfect cup of espresso or coffee every time you use it.
The coffee maker features a massive 54-ounce water tank. That means there’s always water ready when you need a bit of a lift. Customers recommend that if you have hard water at home, you fill the tank with bottled water to avoid sediment buildup.
Your water will heat in 15 seconds and shortly after your Nespresso by De’Longhi appliance will serve up an incredible cup in whatever serving size you prefer. Choose from espresso, double espresso, gran lungo, coffee or alto. Once you’re served, your coffee maker will shut off after nine minutes.
