As a coffee lover (possibly too much of a lover of the java) I value a fine cup of joe. We have owned a gazillion coffee makers over the year but it wasn’t until my new Hamilton Beach coffee maker arrived that I found the best of all worlds.
Other coffee makers either didn’t brew a good hot cup of coffee, , dripped all over the counter when pouring a cup, left grounds in the cup instead of the pot and we’d often have to make an entire pot even if we wanted just 1 cup.
The Scoop 2-Way Brewer put an end to this. It combines the ease of a single serve machine with the control over coffee quality and volume which comes with pot style coffee makers.
Features:
- Two ways to brew – Single cup with unique The Scoop™ filter or up to 12 cups in glass carafe12 Cup Coffeemaker
- Programmable timer with 2 hour automatic shutoff
- Regular or bold brew strength
- Automatic pause & serve1 Cup Single Serve
- Brews up to 14 ozs. in travel mug (included) or adjusts to fit a shorter cup
- Programmable timer with automatic shutoff
- Unique scoop measures and filters coffee
With the amount of coffee we go through in our home I wanted to use this coffee maker for some time before I reviewed it. I can honestly say it’s a fantastic machine which has not yet disappointed.
I’m able to brew a single delicious cup of coffee for myself in minutes using fresh ground beans using the unique scoop provided (below left photo) or I slip in the pod insert and brew from pods (below right photo). Please note k cups don’t fit, it’s for pod use only.
The coffee brews piping hot every time and my husband is happy that he can have his preference of coffee while I brew a pot for myself.There is no dripping carafe, no grounds in the cup, we can make 1 cup (any size) or a pot and to top it off we can program it to begin brewing before we awake.
The Scoop 2 Way is the perfect choice for our family, we often entertain friends and the pot allows me to make enough coffee for coffee-based Mocktails.
Bravo to Hamilton Beach for this invention, it’s about time we can clear our kitchen counter tops of multiple coffee makers!
Whose pods does it use? Tassimo or Keurig?
Ah good point Yvonne, you can use any pod…..not a K cup, a pod. Or that is actually a scoop when you take out the insert…in fact let me update the post to include this information clearly.
wow, looks nice….and the best of both worlds.
It really is and ends up costing so much less
This looks so yum and what a nice coffee maker. Cant live without one of those, you know?

Oh you know it sistah
This looks like a really cool coffee maker! I love that you have so many different choices in the way you can brew! We drink LOTS of coffee too and I can see how this would come in handy!
I honestly hadn’t realized how easy it could be until we got this….and I have less cluttered counters
It sounds like you have a winner. And it’s always nice to move out multiple machines and save on counter space.
Mmmm! You had me at “coffee based Mocktails”! lol
Great post! Thanks for sharing! I think this may be our next coffee maker!
P.S. Got a lovely cake ball pic of us on my latest blog post. lol
this looks pretty fancy, we don’t drink coffee over here but it’s always nice to have on hand when guests come
Looks really cool! I am also a coffee fanatic. Not just for the taste but the history of it, the various types etc.
I am not a huge coffee lover – If I am going to drink it, it’s when I am out…hubby on the other hand is a BIG coffee fan – thanks for sharing
I take my coffee very seriously – this looks and sounds like a great maker, which offers options for the user. Must investigate a little further:)
Sounds fabulous!! Although I don’t drink coffee, I bet this machine would be great to have when having guests over :)
we bought this coffee maker a couple months back after our Keurig failed on us AGAIN. We love it! I can make my single cup during the week and we can make a pot for the both of us on the weekend. No more messing with 2 separate appliances
Our coffee maker is on the fritz and we need a one cup as my husband is the only one that drinks coffee. LOVE the stainless steel! I’ll have to brush up on my “pod” and “K cup” terminology as right now we use a reusable insert.

I have one of these and it is the best thing EVER!!
You can get your coffee all set up to brew into the travel mug, program the timer and have coffee ready to go out the door when you are!!
I LOVE IT!!!!
I love my Mochas, but have recently been into regular coffee. This coffee maker looks like the perfect fit!
That is really cool that you can either brew 12 cups or just one – that would make it so convenient to make that extra afternoon cuppa for me, haha! Love that it can brew in a travel mug too, nice!Very versatile.
I think this will be a gift for my parents this year. I love that my dad can make one cup when my mom isn’t home or make a pot when she is.
Hi, just wondering does it take tassimo pods?
Thanks
looks nice but I have a bunn machine and get 12 cups in about 2.5 minutes, and although I should replace the machine, I am not certain I want to switch brands unless I can find out just as fast (my machine is mega old, prob 20 yrs old now, and is a cafe model which could actually hold 2 pots on the burners it has)
I wonder how a new Bunn coffee maker would compare? I know they are simple and lack many of the auto settings, but I love mine.
