Hamilton Beach Stay or Go makes terrible coffee
30 Jul 2004
I’ve been wanting a thermal carafe coffee maker for some time. The traditional drip coffee maker uses a hotplate to keep the coffee warm after brewing, but this causes the coffee to continuously brew in the pot. That results in bad coffee.
Recently when I was in Target, I noticed they had a number of thermal carafe coffee makers at prices ranging from $40-$60, so I picked one up. It turned out to be a huge mistake.
The albatross I bought is known as the Hamilton Beach Stay or Go Coffee Maker and every cup of coffee that comes out of it has a stale, oily taste. I can’t even bring myself to drink it.
