Espresso machines rated highly for efficiency, utility, and the all important taste factor provide much more than the run-of-the mill features of lesser offerings. With most standard coffee dispensers, the glass flask sits on the hotplate while brewing the coffee which results in a burnt and bitter taste. However, in case of Hamilton Beach 47214, the brewed coffee directly flows inside the insulated thermal basin equipped with gentle warming water. This ensures that the coffee is hot and fresh with no compromise on taste.
Furthermore, it has a gentle warming heater and enclosed brewing system, which improves the flavor too. One can afford this unit for as low as $58 and it’s pretty much worth the money. So, whenever you want a fresh hot cup of coffee then all you need to do is to just hold the coffee mug below the machine, and allow fresh cream of coffee to pour into your mug.
