The HCS10B is part of the coffeemaker
test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, drip coffeemaker
models like the HCS10B are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.
Brew temperature:- Brew temperature is the ability to reach 195°F or more for six minutes.
Convenience:- Convenience reflects ease of filling the reservoir, placing the filter, gauging the amount of coffee remaining, cleanup, and clarity of controls.
Carafe handling:- Carafe handling covers handle comfort, tendency to drip when pouring, balance of a full carafe, and how easy it was to empty the last liquid. Models with no score here brew into single-serve containers, or are dispenser-style. Dispenser models hold the brew in a tank; you fill your cup by pressing it against the dispenser lever.
