Gift Giving Is Easy When It Involves Coffee!

a-yawn-is-a-silent-scream-for-coffeeBy Tara Richter

The other day I was browsing through a store, looking at all the Christmas decorations and came across a small wall hanging with the phrase “A yawn is a silent scream for coffee”. It made me laugh out loud not only because I thought it cute – but totally appropriate for my life. Coffee really gets me going in the morning, making me more more productive at work and ignites the creativity centre in my brain. When my son was just a toddler, I recall him trying to wake me up very early one morning. “-ake up mommy” he would say. As I groaned at the early morning, his poking and prodding to get up out of bed continued. At one point I had to laugh as he announced “where’s da coffee?” knowing even then it would help kick-start my day.

The Hamilton Beach Coffee Maker with Hot Water Dispenser has become a new addition to my counter and just in time too. My old generic, one button coffee pot was on its last leg. Some days it worked, some days it didn’t.

hamilton beach coffee maker and hot water dispenserThis shiny silver and black coffee maker is perfect for those who love to drink coffee, but also for those who would love just a cup of tea or plain hot water. I think one of the cleverest features of this Hamilton Beach appliance is that both the coffee maker and the hot water dispenser can be programed (separately) for a desired start time. That way you can have freshly brewed coffee or hot water at your fingertips when you choose. Other coffee features include a cone filter for a richer taste, 2 hour automatic shut off, regular or bold brew strength and automatic pause & serve.

 

hamilton beach coffee maker and hot water dispenser

While I’m not much of a tea drinker myself, I have many family members who are. Since I don’t own a kettle, having hot water ready for these tea drinkers is really super convenient! I have learned though, since I started using the Hamilton Beach Coffee
Maker with Hot Water Dispenser, that the hot water feature is actually really useful for making other things like morning oatmeal, a cup of cider or hot chocolate, and even a cup of soup. With the hot water dispenser built right in, it eliminates the need for a separate water heating appliance too, saving valuable counter (and stovetop) space!

The Hamilton Beach Coffee Maker with Hot Water Dispenser makes a perfect gift for all those coffee (and tea) drinkers. The Hamilton Beach brand is definitely one you can trust, making this coffee maker a reliable gift.

  • It would be perfect because we are not all coffee drinkers in this house, and the hot water option would be perfect for those that want tea or hot chocolate.

  • We would love this in our household. It’s perfect for us adults to make our coffee and our teenagers to make their tea or hot chocolate!

  • I love the idea of having the option to do both.. sometimes I want a pot ! Sometimes I just want a cup! It makes perfect sense!

  • Perfect for my house as my Keurig just crapped out and i’ve been debating going back to a traditional coffee maker, this one is great! My oldest son drinks tea so the hot water option is a great fit! thanks for the chance.

  • This would be great for us as I’m more of a tea drinker so would use the hot water and hubbs and my daughter are coffee drinkers!

  • It has a tea! option!! How exciting. This is perfect for us. Just lately we have talked (more like complained) about our current “pods” coffee maker. It is so expensive. We always run out of pods and those makers are not easily cleanable. We want to go back to having a full pot ready to drink!! It’s time!! And this one has a hot water for tea. Tea I drink before bed. How exciting! I really am loving this Hamilton Beach Coffee Maker!

  • It would be perfect for my house because my hubby is a coffee drinker and I am a tea drinker. The kids and I would be able to make tea and hot chocolate while my hubby’s coffee is brewing.. It would also save me the time of boiling the kettle alot.

  • I actually wouldn’t keep this. I would gift it to my son. He comes over everyday for coffee, several times, as he doesn’t have a maker.

  • If I could have coffee on an IV drip, I would. So brewing a quality pot is important. But I also like to have tea in the afternoon, so that feature is also useful. Basically, I need this because I’m imbibing caffeine in some form most hours of the day :-0

  • What a great idea! Would be perfect in our house as I don’t like my coffee as strong as most do so I’m always watering down my cup of brew. 🙂

  • This will save me on electricity I think; my fiance likes machine coffee and I like instant-we can both use it at the same time!

  • I have been eyeing this machine. I have both coffee and tea drinkers in my house so this would be perfect for us. Plus its good for hot chocolate 🙂

  • I think this is a super coffee maker for our family because we not only make coffee but hot cereal and hot chocolate that the hot water feature would be perfect for.

  • I haven’t a coffe maker at home just using a kettle, my sister likes her coffee a lot this would be perfect.

  • I love the hot water dispenser!! This would be awesome when the kids want Hot chocolate.. and what better then a 2 in one machine! awesome

  • The Hamilton Beach Coffee Maker with Hot Water Dispenser is perfect for my home because my family enjoys so many hot drinks, including my daughter. I like that it is programmable and a freshly brewed pot of coffee can be wafting through the kitchen in the morning and waiting for me. I am also a tea drinker as well. My little one regularly asks for hot water with honey and we sometimes add lemon or ginger.

  • It would be perfect for my household as after a couple cups of coffee I am done for the day where as my hubby really enjoys multiple cups. I love that I could just make myself a cup of my herbal tea at the same time. I also love that both the coffee maker and the hot water dispenser can be programed for the same time.

  • I love the hot water Dispenser attached to the coffee maker. We always have the coffee pot and the tea kettle on the container. We would have so much more space if we win.

  • I think it is perfect for our household since we are coffee drinkers plus we enjoy tea and hot chocolate so the hot water dispenser would be great. Programmable is a feature too so we can set it up ahead of time and have it start just before we get downstairs in the morning.

  • I think it would be perfect for my house since my kids would like the hot water option for hot chocolate. I would get great use of the coffee maker too.

  • Actually I would love to win this for my sister in law! She has no coffee maker and it is such a hassle to bundle up her two girls to go for a drive to get one. this would make for the most perfect gift

  • My non-caffeine consuming hubby is constantly on me about why we need both a kettle AND a drip coffee maker on the same (small) chunk of cupboard space. Plus, the thought of simultaneously making both ingredients for a mocha with one appliance pretty much blows my mind!

  • What an awesome appliance! I would love to add this to our home as it is stylish and functional, allowing me to enjoy my usual morning coffee and allowing my hubs to enjoy his tea. I also love that I can get hot water instantly- getting oatmeal for my kids in the morning will be SO fast!

  • We are currently without a coffee maker. I was using a single cup one for a long while, but it finally died. Fine for me, I have a fave local shop to go to, but it isn’t convenient when we have guests. (Also, it would match our other small Hamilton Beach appliances!)

  • This would be perfect for my household because I can make more than my coffee. Oatmeal would be made quickly using this great gadget.

  • This would be great bc we all have different preferences when it comes to tea or coffee. This would maje ot easier for us.

  • This would be perfect whenever we have family over! i love coffee, but also enjoy tea and hot chocolate more in the winter

  • I LOOOOVE my coffee but I have a couple of friends that just drink tea, this appliance would be perfect because I could make both at the same time rather than one at a time. 😀

  • This appliance is perfect for our household because we have a pot of coffee in the morning and then I have tea. It would be so handy.

  • I have started looking after my friends kids in the morning and the single serve coffee isn’t enough for this night owl to have enough pep in her step to do what she needs to do.

  • this would be great for my parents bc they love to make coffee and tea and they can do both with this machine. they host parties where this would come in handy too
