- WAKE UP TO A SINGLE CUP OR 12 CUPS: The touchscreen of this programmable coffee maker has Auto Brew to let you wake up to a fresh-brewed single cup or up to 12 cups in the carafe. Control strength with regular and bold options.
- DUAL-POSITION 60 OZ. WATER RESERVOIR: This Hamilton Beach Coffee Maker has a removable reservoir that can be positioned on the back or side of the 12 cup coffee maker to best fit your space and optimize your brewing needs.

- EASY-TO-USE LED TOUCHSCREEN: Choose your brew with the touch of a button. The LED display on this electric coffee maker makes it easy to view the settings and time at a glance, and the touchscreen easily wipes clean.
- CONVENIENT CUP REST: The single cup coffee maker side has a cup rest that holds a standard-size cup of coffee and is removable to let you brew into a 7.25" tall (18 cm) travel mug.
- EASY TO CLEAN: The pod-piercing needle on the pod coffee maker removes to prevent clogging that can occur with frequent use. For easy cleanup, use a #1 paper filter in the single-serve brew basket to make it easier to dispose of coffee grounds.
