Hamilton Beach Coffee Maker
The Hamilton Beach Stay or Go model 45238 is the Deluxe Thermal Coffee Maker. It is a versatile coffeemaker that offers three brewing options. You can brew coffee directly into a 10-cup thermal carafe or into either one or two individual travel mugs for immediate consumption. This deluxe unit is styled in elegant silver and black with a sleek profile. A straight edge along the rear of the unit tapers to rounded edges around the front. A round stand at the base holds either the 10-cup thermal carafe or the individual travel mugs. Guides on the stand note the correct place when you use one or both mugs. Specialty features on this model include:
- 24-hour programmable clock/timer
- A 1-4 cup setting for optimum flavor with smaller batches
- Brightly lit digital display
- Brews iced coffee
- Automatic shutoff
These features allow you to wake up to a wafting aroma of freshly made coffee in your pot or mug exactly how you want it.
Other features include:
- A removable filter basket, which holds standard cupcake-style paper filters
- A removable drip tray and a coffee scoop for easy measuring.
The water reservoir on this unit is located in the rear of the unit, accessed via a flip-up lid. While we found the filling to be relatively easy using the thermal carafe, it was a bit difficult to see the internal, step, markings corresponding to the correct number of cups.
Our favorite feature is the ability to brew directly into the travel mugs, which greatly simplifies a hectic morning schedule. Each mug holds approximately 10 ounces of coffee and can be set up with cream and sugar before placing on the carafe stand. The slim mugs fit into most standard car coffee cup holders.
