The Bold setting brews in intervals, instead of a steady stream of water as from the Regular setting. This gives time for the water to fully saturate the grounds. The difference in time is about less than a minute, so unless your life is so booked you can't afford an extra 45 seconds, go with the bold setting for a richer tasting coffee. I LOVE my Scoop brewer....and no plastic pods to fill our oceans....not to mention it is sooooo much cheaper!
If you like fresh brewed bold flavored coffee you love the Scoop Hamilton Beach... and if you love instant tasteless coffee then you love the Keurig...
This is great. Way better then spending loads for expensive "cups" and "pods". I went to this from a pot coffee. It makes my folgers taste 100 percent better.
I own one. I don’t what your talking about how it doesn’t brew fast and the temp is not hot enough. Mine brews fast and the temp of the coffee will burn your lip and cause a blister. May be your Hamilton Beach The Scoop is broke 😂. My K pod doesn’t brew near as fast. I highly recommended this coffee maker. Sorry to be hating but I think it work amazingly great!!!
The greatest single-brew machine available is the KitchenAid. To extract the oils from a drip coffee, which provide the complex and rich flavor, water must be in a range of 180 F. to 195 F. KitchenAid, the innovators they are, created their model so the water comes out at 180/185.
Great idea and design, hope they do a all stainless interior where the coffee is brewed to abolish the plastic toxic and taste people complain about. Excellent review.
I'm pretty excited too I just bought mine at thrift store this makes coffee better than my kereig for the simple fact that it brings the coffee a little slower you get really brewed coffee and it's really well built thank you for the video super excited about this little machine I paid 8 bucks for a used one and I paid 179 for my kereig seriously the kereig does great pods but the pods are plastic who the hell wants that and if you try to use the little stainless steel thing to make your own it doesn't brew it good so thanks again. Off to enjoy a cup of coffee.
I have one of these and a big ole fancy keurig. I love the scoop because it is way cheaper to buy coffee for. I usually go for the breakfast blend coffees in which the keurig still makes really strong. If I would have known about this one a year ago, I would have got the scoop first! Maybe when The K-cups get back around $9 I may go back, but for now, I'll choose a tub of Maxwell house breakfast blend and save a lot of money. This product is very well built and seems very sturdy and solid. It d
The only concern seems the temperature of the drink. It should warm enough without having to warm up the mug. I will try it and see how it goes, but I have a feeling that the coffee should be hot not lukewarm
Thanks I love regular good old black coffee. was thinking about a K cup type, but how that I found this I'm sold on it. and half the price no filters to buy. Thanks for a great review. GOTTA LOVE YOU TUBE.
That's a pretty thick glass mug, which you used to hold cold water for brewing. I would think warming it first by bringing it up to at least room temperature before brewing would bring the temperature up. Also, would like to know if brewing it on bold would change the temperature.
I just got this last night. I am guessing this holds on to some water inside. I notice the first time i used it I put in 8oz of water and only got 4oz back out. Am I doing something wrong?
I purchased one of these a couple of years ago. It is junk, expensive junk at the time. It has sat on the shelf ever since and will soon be dropped off for donation. The flat bottom basket does not concentrate the flow of water through the coffee grounds leaving you with an extremely weak cup of coffee. In order to make what I considered a normal cup of coffee with my old maker I had to double or triple the amount of coffee used. When you watch this video notice how the coffee that is coming out of the machine looks more like clear water. I went back to using a cheap Black and Decker single serve maker but unfortunately B&D has replaced that model with another flat bottomed basket type (these just don't work well). Make sure when you buy a drip machine that the basket is tapered and not flat bottomed.
I use the coffee God gave me - I grind my own ;) Didn't matter what grind it's the shape of the basket - you need a tapered basket to concentrate the flow. Bought a Kitchen Aid one cup maker - very happy with that one. Tapered basket.
Digger D Give me a better option. I am looking for one for the office at work. Right now I use a $20 Mr. Coffee 4-cup drip machine at home. Still going strong on Amazon. Have used that for like 10 years. Not sure why everyone else's kitchen appliances last only 2-3 years. All my stuff is original and looks brand new. I think my toaster is from college and almost 15 years old. It's all about cleaning and not living like a disgusting pig. Anyways, give me some recommendations on single-serve coffee options for work. And don't say Keurig please. Owners of Keurig aren't really coffee drinkers. They are idiots that think they are drinking coffee.
I have the KitchenAid Personal Coffee Maker now - it's a very nice machine and brews a good cup every time. A bit pricey at around $100 but I take my coffee seriously ;) And yes you are correct about Keurig people lol
I've had one of these for a couple years and I've used it a ton. Sometimes I've resorted to using a bit of paper towel between the two filters to catch the sediment (even with two meshes, you still end up with sediment), but aside from that I've loved it. Unfortunately it just stopped working entirely after two years of consistent use; it now acts like I have no water in the reservoir and turns itself off immediately, so I've gone back to using my small hamilton beach pot that I had in college (thank god I didn't get rid of it like I'd planned to!)
my husband just started working nights he has been drinking coffee right before he goes to work but he only drinks one cup and i fell like i waste so much coffee with a reg coffee pot think about buy him this
Good to know! Thought it would be good because the build is solid but if coffee quality is not good then the build is irrelevant. I do like the concept of getting away from having to use k cups (ie. a gimmick to charge more for coffee) and using real coffee but the coffee maker to be good!
@STAyTHIRSTyMyFRNDS We are actually soaked filters in hot water for 15 minutes. Then we run 2 dummy cycles to clean everything. After that we don't taste plastic. Hope this helps.
I like Folgers decaf, and my new Melitta 12 cupper doesn't really brew a good cup. Just bought the Scoop and will know in about a week whether it brews a better cup.
Got this for a gift and am noticing that the reservoir doesn't totally empty... Frustrating when I put a full cup of water in and only get 1/2 - 3/4 out ....have to add more water to get a full cup, but then also have to empty excess hot water that didn't come out by turning the machine upside down. Anyone else have that problem?
How can a customer filter the water further and that is why7 I decided to not go with a scoop system for several reasons and ive already upgraded my vue to the color screen model with the gray rim the v 600 some aspects I didn't like about the v600 for one thing hard to put the lid back on
I bought a similar single-serve from Sboly, because I wanted to still be able to use grounds instead of cups, but the metal filter for that one does not work very well. Does this one actually make sure that you dont get any coffee grinds in your coffee?
Very cool! Thank you! Got a great deal on one of these at a second hand store but did not know all it's features! Great video - thank you for showing all it does!
By the way, if you have a keurig and it stops working for what ever reason, or it's putting water supposed to be brewed back into the resavar, (this will sound funny but) knock the $&#% out of it. Seriously, smack it right in the center top. Look for this fix online and it worked for me.
Just primarily coffee. I need something the can brew coffee in the mornings when I need to get out the door to school or have a quick cup in the morning
This is the worst coffee maker ever! It makes lukewarm, weak coffee. I ended up using 3 times the amount of beans and still didn't get acceptable coffee. I tried everything! I've used it for a couple month! It is such a disappointment. It's even messy. Coffee spews out the sides. I'm giving my away today and going back to my old drip machine.
The second filter doesn't help at all. I still got sludgie coffee (meaning I could only drink half of the cup). I tried fine grind, medium grind, and coarse grind, all of them didn't work. I ended up buying a Keurig. Much better.
This machine is crap. In less than a year it will clog. They all do, however, Hamilton Beach decided to use screws that prevent you from fixing it. Way to go Hamilton Beach. Don't buy. It won't last and you cannot fix it.
I still use this one to this day. Its a good machine.
I own this one for the past several years and love it.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com
I just bought one. Instead of looking at the user manual, I watched this review. Thanks!
Just bought it and love it! I made the most delightful cup of coffee!
The Bold setting brews in intervals, instead of a steady stream of water as from the Regular setting. This gives time for the water to fully saturate the grounds.

Hi. Can you use a small or trimmed coffee filter with this?
If you like fresh brewed bold flavored coffee you love the Scoop Hamilton Beach...
and if you love instant tasteless coffee then you love the Keurig...
LOL!

He brewed that cup on the regular setting. If you use the bold setting it brews a little bit slower but comes out a bit darker and stronger (bolder).
My grandpa has been using this for 2 years and when he introduced me to this machine, my college days have been easier..I RECOMMEND THTHHISS

You've obviously never used a keurig if you think this thing brews weak. Also did you ever try the bold option?
I've had one of these for a couple years and I've used it a ton. Sometimes I've resorted to using a bit of paper towel between the two filters to catch the sediment (even with two meshes, you still end up with sediment), but aside from that I've loved it.

Why would a soft pod not work in this?
Thank you for this review! You've helped me decide which coffee machine to buy. Great video! Keep up the great work!!
I just got one and it's great, I use Starbucks house blend on the bold setting very good taste!
my husband just started working nights he has been drinking coffee right before he goes to work but he only drinks one cup and i fell like i waste so much coffee with a reg coffee pot think about buy him this
Coffee sticks in the lid which doesn't remove to clean?
Good to know! Thought it would be good because the build is solid but if coffee quality is not good then the build is irrelevant. I do like the concept of getting away from having to use k cups (ie. a gimmick to charge more for coffee) and using real coffee but the coffee maker to be good!
@STAyTHIRSTyMyFRNDS We are actually soaked filters in hot water for 15 minutes. Then we run 2 dummy cycles to clean everything. After that we don't taste plastic. Hope this helps.
SOLD! Now where do I get one? Meaning the coffee you just temptingly brewed.😉:)
It looks like pump is not working right. Try to call Customer Service or get new one. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
Can this make a cup of hot water alone?
I like Folgers decaf, and my new Melitta 12 cupper doesn't really brew a good cup. Just bought the Scoop and will know in about a week whether it brews a better cup.
Can I also break tea in it ?
Got this for a gift and am noticing that the reservoir doesn't totally empty... Frustrating when I put a full cup of water in and only get 1/2 - 3/4 out ....have to add more water to get a full cup, but then also have to empty excess hot water that didn't come out by turning the machine upside down. Anyone else have that problem?
Can this be used to make espresso?
Couldn't you add just a bit more coffee grounds then recommended?
have had my machine for about 2 yrs and the selection button just blinks this morning and turns off... what is wrong and can it be fixed?
How can a customer filter the water further and that is why7 I decided to not go with a scoop system for several reasons and ive already upgraded my vue to the color screen model with the gray rim the v 600 some aspects I didn't like about the v600 for one thing hard to put the lid back on
Really nice & detailed demonstration & review. Thanks

@imppyify Thank you so much. We are getting there :).
Thank you💞 i was lazy to read the manual, this helped🥰
Agree. It can be tricky. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
Thx Brian great video and info, keep on brewing.
This is driving me crazy. What is the little filter area for in the scoop? (inside the scoop where the handle ends)
Dude.. I've been searching for the same answer you are seeking.. I have no idea what the little filter inside the scoop is for :(
They are two different sizes, one for a single cup, the second is for a double size cup. M, il.
That little basket by the handle is used if you like to a flavor to your coffee like cinnamon stick crushed
Thanks for your review. I just put a bid on one today partly because of this video.
Thank you. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com
Thanks for the good information. I'm going to check your website too.
Thank for comment. For right now it's not on our list for review. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com

Do you have a recommendation for a single serve that is hotter?
Do you the date this coffee maker was released?
Please make review for Hamilton beach flex 2 way brew model49983 i saw at walmart. and thinking to get it.
Yes this trick does work :). Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
By the way, if you have a keurig and it stops working for what ever reason, or it's putting water supposed to be brewed back into the resavar, (this will sound funny but) knock the $&#% out of it. Seriously, smack it right in the center top. Look for this fix online and it worked for me.
mines is tasting like plastic do you know why??
I'll only be putting distilled water in mine. No sediment or scaling. Therefore no cleaning necessary!!
What is the best single serve coffee maker that isn't a ton of money?
It's really personal question :). Let us know which beverages you want to make and then we'll advise you. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com
