The Scoop Single Serve Coffee Maker & Fast Grounds Brewer for 8-14oz. Cups, Brews in Minutes, 40oz. Removable Reservoir, Stainless Steel (49987),Silver

Works great! I’ve only had it several days but it’s perfect for my household. I like the holding tank for the water so I don’t have to fill it when I’m half asleep in the morning. I like its quick brewing time and flavorful robust coffee. I’ve been using screen filters for years and think they are great, yes there is a little sediment in the bottom of the cup but I don’t drink it the small grinds fall to the bottom. Cleanup is a breeze just tap the scoop in trash and a quick rinse under faucet and ready for next time. Very easy and not sure why so many complaints about this. Mine does not drip after the cycle if I wait a little but I put a cup in place under the dispenser to catch any lingering drips this is a common complaint but I see no worries with this. The design and looks is much better in person than the image on the ad. Seems well built and is so much better than the keurig style machine. I can make a strong cuppa or a light cuppa tall or small too. I have no complaints I just hope it is built to last, it’s the best coffee machine I’ve ever owned!

I got the 40oz reservoir version of the SCOOP and find it totally great. Much better than k-cup if you grind your own beans. I got this about 2 months ago and I drink 2-3 cups a day so, it has been well worn in. I buy whole beans and have a small burr grinder. I used a classic Keurig and used the refillable cartridges for several years. The Scoop is much easier to fill and clean between cups. The main scoop fits into a secondary screen filter and both are easily removed for cleaning. The reviews that people are unaware of the secondary filter are just ridiculous, it usually slides out when you lift the scoop for cleaning. The scoop has a sturdy handle that you can use to bang on the side of your kitchen trash can to remove the grounds and a simple rinse under the faucet and you are good to go with another cup. I rinse the secondary filter daily under the faucet and slide it right back into the feeder hole, very simple. I use a heaping tablespoon of coffee for an 8oz cup. I admit I have not used the 14oz, because I drink my coffee from a mug and don't like to reheat. The Scoop coffee is a somewhat hotter than the Keurig and I like this. I used the "strong" setting a few times and it takes longer to brew 8oz cup and I really didn't notice a taste difference. The strong setting basically slows the water drip through the grounds leaving more time for water to pick up flavor. There has never been a leak or overflow. I can imagine an overflow if you pack the scoop to the top with grounds, but the instructions clearly warn against doing so. I get good strong coffee every day with no strange tastes. There are many reviews that specify a plastic taste. I think I have very sensitive taste buds and I have never tasted anything but coffee from the Scoop. One negative... If you don't use the second tier flip down platform for a coffee mug, you will get coffee splatter, and quite a bit. I regularly use the flip down platform and it fits most of my larger mugs, but I have to angle them in to fit under the drip nozzle. This results in no splash. I don't use tall travel mugs, but if you do, I don't see a splash problem if the top is within 3 inches of the drip nozzle. One more negative... The base doesn't have any volume to catch drip and if you forget to put your cup under the nozzle when you start a brew, you will have all of it drain on your counter and floor. The Classic Keurig base will hold 8oz if you forget your cup. Another miner annoyance is that the Scoop has some residual drip after you remove your cup. I put a folded paper towel on the base to absorb the few drips rather than have to wipe the base. Overall, great coffee, easy to use, clean and fill the 40oz reservoir and it takes up less space on my counter. This is a great coffee maker, especially if you grind your own beans.

The Scoop does exactly what it is supposed to: brew a cup of coffee effortlessly. It leaves the details to you, for both good and bad. It has a mesh coffee ground holder that doubles as a scoop, but I use an actual scoop to fill it since if it's wet grounds stick to it. So your first detail is how much grounds to add. I usually do about 2/3 of the way to the Max line. You can also control via the Bold button how strong you want your coffee brewed - for me that's always on. Not because of anything wrong, just I like strong coffee. I rinse the mesh scoop every time before I fill it. Though I admit I've made two cups in succession with the same grounds and they came out fine. Under the mesh scoop is a second filter to catch any overflow. Every couple of days I rinse this. I still occasionally get some very fine grounds in my cup, I'm going to try a slightly more coarse grind when my current coffee runs out. I dislike filling so I have The Scoop with the 40oz reservoir. Here's another detail they leave to you while you pick 8oz or 14oz size if there is less water than needed in the reservoir it will just make it with that much. For The Scoop without the reservoir that allows you to easily make a half cup or whatever. I'm replacing a Keurig and used to an alert if there isn't enough water, so the first time I made a partial cup was a bit of a shock. Now I just need to keep a watch on it. The reservoir just lifts out, easy to fill and to clean. I usually just flip up the lid and fill it while still connected, a habit I had already gotten into with my previous coffee maker. Where you place you mug is either full height for travel mugs, or has a flip down to reduce the height. For my admittedly tall coffee mugs the flip down is just a touch too small, I wish it was adjustable. I just use the lower position but I wonder if I had the windows open and there was a strong wind if it would end up splattering. There is a small area under the grill to catch drips - I haven't had a chance yet to see if it detaches for easy cleaning or not. All in all it makes a nice tasting cup of coffee at a good temperature, and does without fanfare or complicated options. This review is after about a week of use, I don't have the experience yet to talk about long term issues. 6 MONTH UPDATE: What I've written before holds true and I'm quite happy with it's continued use. I have discovered one other negative - if I'm doing a bunch of cups and the second mesh gets clogged, some water/coffee will spill out of the top and drip down the sides. Easy enough to avoid if you make sure to clear the second mesh regularly, but if you have people over and try to make a bunch at once it's easy to overlook.

I bought a used, very good or good model. I cleaned my current pot and put it away. I open the box and it's missing the 2 pieces that you put the coffee IN... so unusable! So disappointed. So I ordered a brand new one... I pray this works as well as most reviews say it does. I drink coffee all day.. and I end up wasting lots of it! I hope it works well and holds up.. will save me $ as I do throw coffee away. I hate nuked coffee! I did save over $20 by purchasing a used model. Too bad it was missing the most essential parts! Edit: ordered a brand new one. Received yesterday. First thoughts: Very small footprint, looks nice. Easy to use. Love the water tank. Immediate cons: drips .. a lot. Even if you leave the cup under. I think the set up of 2 sieve's is the issue. I bought #1 filters and they are too big. Not sure if they would work if I cut them smaller. I have large mugs and the flip down is nice. Some of them barely fit. I do wish there was more than 8 and 14 Oz. A 4 would be great. For my mugs, 8 is too small and 14 is too large! I am having a bit of trouble getting the amount of coffee correct. I tried more coffee with the 8 oz; put on bold and it doesn't do much. Wasn't tasting as good as a regular coffee pot. I drank most of my 8 oz this morning and put another 8oz in again. I don't see where the bold button does much. The buttons are nice and clicky. I grind my own beans so I've just taken a spoon and placed the coffee in the pod. Spilled a bit. Might need to take the pod out to fill. Rinsing the 2 pods is fine... I'm hoping there are replacements. I do think this machine is nice. I drink lots of coffee and as one person; sometimes I dump some of the coffee. This machine saves on my coffee. For the few flaws; such as the dripping; it's still nice and well made! I would say wiping up the dripping - some water; some coffee .. is annoying. So I find myself constantly wiping it down. I still recommend it! The water tank is a definite plus. There is another one on Amazon that also takes pods. Well in that case- just get a Keurig. I don't like those so I didn't want a glorified one of those! This is the one to get- grounds only! So it's a bit high maintenance but not enough to take away from the overall convenience... and in my case; savings. It makes a cup relatively fast! I did try the 14 oz with my Rammstein metal cup.. perfect! Update: returning. The dripping is crazy- it's almost like a leak. The bottom filter holder holds water. The grounds stick in the top holder; so constantly rinsing it out. 2 -3 cups in morning; lots of cleaning in between because the filter parts are wet. The bottom of my cup looks gritty. I'm not overfilling the holder. Constant cleaning of the plates.. I keep wondering where all the water is coming from. Not overfilling the tank either. The idea is great; execution- not at all. Sad because I like the idea of it; just a constant mess to clean the thing due to leaks!

This coffee maker is surprisingly good for its purpose: quick single serve of strong coffee using large mugs. It's for single person household or household where people drink coffee at different times. The biggest problem with Keurig is the capacity of the tiny little pods, whether its pre-made or refillable, it just doesn't hold enough coffee for people who like stronger coffee using large mugs, so we generally have to use multiple pods to make 2 brews for one large mug, which is expensive and time consuming. The concept of the filter basket is also the scoop itself is a big time and mess-saver. No longer need to use a little scoop to feed the coffee into the basket is one of those beauty in its simplicity designs. The same scoop basket can then just dump the grinds directly over the trash can and be rinsed out in seconds, not having a lid like the reusable Keurig cups also saves cleaning time. The water reservoir is easy to fill, with larger openings than the several Keurig I own. Water temp is not bad either, measures about 170 low to 198 high during the brew cycle, and the brew cycle is as quick as Keurig, but it brews a large mug in one cycle. The only minor peeve is there is a second filter to catch the grounds that are pushed through the coffee basket. It's a flat mesh filter so take few seconds to rinse out, but an added step nevertheless. Now a days, informed shoppers know brand names are pretty much irrelevant, it is mostly marketing rather than true quality or innovation. I suspect Hamilton Beach is viewed as a inferior brand because it has no marketing or social media presence, and uninformed people won't give it chance because the lack of hype. From someone who owned multiple Keurig, Breville, and other brands, coffee maker's contribution to a good cup of coffee is really just the water temp, while the rest is about use convenience and whether the coffee capacity match your life style. For people who enjoy large mug of stronger coffee, that takes less time to fill and clean, this is the best out there. Will update if it fails the longevity test after a year or 2, but knowing my Keurig generally breaks in some way after 1 to 2 years of daily use, I'm already happy that it's still going strong in the 7th months.

This is my second purchase now of The Scoop. First one was their older model I had for several years with no mechanical problems. Only issue I had was my favorite mug didn’t fit right in this machine and it was a little messy. If your mug is over 7 1/2 inches it won’t fit. Mine is slightly over 🙄 otherwise I loved the machine! Easy to use and clean. Newer model improved greatly! They fixed the messy problem and it brews now with pressure instead of just being a dripper so the coffee brews stronger. Still can’t use my favorite mug but oh well! Still much cheaper than having one of those pod required coffee machines and now finally with the same brew quality! I definitely recommend this machine! My only complaints are it still doesn’t fit my favorite mug and why doesn’t the refill tank hold enough water to brew 3 full mugs, it’s 2 ounces shy lol?

I love this coffee maker! No pods, just my own coffee and single up, two different sizes and choice of bold or regular.

I have to give this two stars even though I love this as an environmentally friendly alternative to kuerig. I haven’t had any problems with it except one, which is a big problem. I've had this about a year and the reusable basket needs replacing because it’s impossible to keep clean. The grounds get stuck and there’s no cleaning method that works for removing them. I be okay with replacing it but there are NO replacements! Not even off brand. So be aware that Hamilton Beach inexplicably doesn’t sell that part separately and there are no other options that I can find. Eventually the filter is going to get so clogged it will be unusable. I suppose I can just use the bigger basket, but that allows grounds to get through, so I’m really frustrated that I can’t just replace the scoop filter. Grrrrrr….

We've now had this coffee maker for coming up on three years and it still works great. It's made hundreds of cups of coffee without fail and without the need for disposable coffee capsules or filters. The trick is to quickly rinse out both the inner and outer permanent baskets between use to get a good fresh tasting brew. For my liking I prefer to make the 8 oz size which requires about 2/3 of the basket filled with coffee. For making the 12 oz size I go to the top of the screen of the inner basket. It's proven reliable, continues to make a good cup of coffee, makes a cup reasonably quickly, and has two size selections that fit common mug sizes. Additionally we've eliminated paying for and generating a lot of unnecessary waste. From extensive use my opinion is it lives up to it's promises.

I like the fold down shelf that raises up my coffee cup and prevents splashing. The Scoop filter is easy to clean and no paper waste. Coffee is hot. The Bold feature gives great extraction. I would have liked a 10 oz button (there is and 8oz and 14oz). So I just fill the water reservoir with 10oz of water, use the 14oz setting and press the brew button. Fills my cup perfectly.

I like this coffee maker , but would of love if had more coffee levels instead of 8oz 14oz , coffee hotter then my keurig. I'm please over all

Excellent produit

Makes the best coffee one cup at a time. No need for filters.
