About - Hamilton Beach Stay or Go 45237R

The Hamilton Beach Stay or Go 45237R is part of the coffeemaker test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, drip coffeemaker models like the Stay or Go 45237R are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.


Brew performance:
Brew performance 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.

Comment:
I usually make two pots a day and this one does everything I want it to without a hitch. The thermal carafe works well but it's a little heavy with a full load making it a bit cumbersome at times. It has 2 thermal cups and a divided basket for two different types of coffee at once that can be used in lieu of brewing the big carafe but I've yet to use that feature. Filling the reservoir is a little awkward as the lid doesn't open far enough to accommodate the emptying of the pot very well towards the end of the process. There's no pause feature for sneaking the first cup in the morning and that took some getting use to but it's only 10 minutes before a full pot is ready to go. Overall we're satisfied and hope we get a little more mileage out this one as the last coffee maker died at about 7 months. We tried one other brand name briefly after that but it never got the coffee hotter than 155 degrees so we then opted for the Hamilton Beach
How long have you owned it:
