Review: I own four... - I originally bought one maybe 10 years ago, after our first $200 Keurig died. It cost $40 at a small kitchen store. It made excellent coffee and was far cheaper to operate and far more eco-friendly than Keurig/Pod based coffee makers, that exist only to generate plastic waste and dissolve plastic into your coffee, whether or not you can taste it. I had a job where I sometimes lived alone during the week, so I got a second one for the rented house I lived in as making a full pot of coffee seemed excessive. We got a second home somewhere in there, so I got a third one. One of my sons stole one, so I got a fourth one to replace it. I've given a couple away as gifts. I LOVE this coffee maker. To make coffee you take the STAINLESS STEEL pan (dry) and scoop up some ground coffee. With experience, you can easily eyeball the right amount for your tastes. You put the pan into the machine on top of the secondary screen, add water, put your cup underneath, and hit one of two buttons that nominally alter very slightly the brew temperature/pattern. You can vary the amount of coffee relative to the amount of water to the regular/bold button results to get at least some degree of optimization to your own tastes, but honestly, if you use good , fresh coffee to make coffee, the coffee that comes out is going to be good, hot coffee for almost any reasonable permutation in its range. To make a second cup, you take the pan, rap it sharply on the side of your garbage can to remove the grounds, rinse it, and rinse the little filter that sits under it to keep the coffee grounds-free. Put back the small filter, and either dry the pan and scoop etc or use a second pan (I generally keep two to rotate them) or refill the wet pan with a secondary scoop. Literally a minute, with no non-biodegradeable waste. You can even compost the grounds if you are eco-fanatic enough and generate NO waste. If you are a coffee essential oil fanatic, you can use a small piece of coffee filter paper in/under the pan to absorb the "bad oils" and further improve the cup it makes, but I rarely bother as I don't use paper filters at all even in full pot machines -- too much waste, too little gain. Good coffee beans make good coffee, stale ones make bad coffee, simple as that, no point in trying to make good coffee out of bad coffee grounds/beans. A simple trick makes this coffee maker even better. It has (for reasons that escape me) a big hole in back above the tank intended to keep you from overfilling it with water. This hole limits the size of the coffee cup you can make at one time pretty substantially. If you leave the hole open, you can use an Ozark stainless steel cup that holds 16 oz of coffee and has a snap-shut lid (available at Wal-Mart, usually near camping) to make a perfect thermos cup of coffee if you add water to the very edge of the spill line. If you COVER this hole -- which I routinely do now -- you can add enough water to fill their LARGER stainless thermos cup with a snap-shut lid and basically end up with around 22-24 oz of coffee in a single brew, ready to safely carry to your car -- say, 1/3 of a 12 cup pot. Obviously, you fill the pan a bit more if you do this, but there is plenty of room to make coffee that is still plenty strong enough if you do, especially with "bold". So you can in ONE PASS make enough coffee in a single stay-hot stainless cup to get even a fanatic/addict through the morning and well-launched on a day, or you can (of course) just make two 16 oz stainless cups. Either way, these "travel" mugs/cups are double walled and insulated and can keep coffee warm to hot for hours when snapped shut. This coffee maker does need to be cleaned/descaled periodically, and you should use soft water or clean more frequently, just like any other, but my ORIGINAL purchase is still running after years of service cleaning it with vinegar as usual a couple of times a year. You do need to rinse off the brew head (where the water comes out to hit the grounds) a lot more frequently, especially if you (over)fill the pan, but you can actually hold it upside down in the sink and run water over it to do so and at the same time hose out the water reservoir etc as need be. A second thing to note is that if you own this machine on a decadal time scale as I have, you have to either replace the pan or periodically clean off any coffee that sticks to the pan screen or the holes will close up and your brew will back up into the head or overflow onto the secondary filter. Soaking in cleaning vinegar or "the Works" toilet bowl cleaner (basically hydrochloric acid) and then washing/scrubbing rinsing will revive it for a few more years, but at some point it will probably need replacing (when the screen wears through, for example:-). Wearing a coffee maker OUT, of course, is something that never happens in the planned obsolescence world of today, but with this single cup maker, it is possible. The ones I own just might actually last the rest of my life, except for the pan, if I can keep the guts descaled. There just isn't much else to go wrong. Could it be improved? Maybe, a tiny bit. It's brew temperature is a hair colder than "perfectly optimum" -- fresh-brewed coffee comes out at maybe 150-160F, a good drinking temperature but a bit cooler than the 180 coffee fanatics insist on as the ideal brew temperature. Still makes a damn good cup, though. They could either leave out the hole or at least, put it up where it NEEDS to be, right before the point where water overflows down into the brew head and makes a mess, not down there at least 4-5 oz short of the true maximum brew capacity. But overall, as I said, I LOVE THIS COFFEE MAKER. It has already outlived generations of 12 cup makers on the side and I'm thinking of buying another spare just in case they ever stop making it.
Review: Impressive - I had been looking for a single cup coffee maker that DIDN'T use pods for a while, but none really impressed me very much. Then I came across "The Scoop" by Hamilton Beach and I pushed the button and made the purchase. The coffee maker arrived on time and in pristine condition. I had read the reviews beforehand so when I placed my order, I also purchased 1 box of #1 coffee filters (seen in the photo) along with a new 16 oz THERMOS Stainless King Vacuum-Insulated Travel Tumbler. After running 3 cycles of clean water through the system, I made my first mug of coffee following the directions exactly. I did NOT use a paper filter and to be honest, I didn't run into an issue of sludge being in the bottom of the mug, nor did I encounter any grounds floating in my coffee. Lastly, there was NO sputtering during the brewing and NO splattered coffee escaped outside the travel mug... not a drop. That said, I was using the travel mug pictured which almost goes completely to the bottom of the filter well so there was very little room for anything to escape. All in all, the first mug wasn't bad. It had a slight acidic taste to it but was within my boundaries of being called "decent." After I finished the first mug of coffee, I rinsed both filters and the filter well out thoroughly and prepared to make my second mug; this time with a paper filter. As seen in the photo, I placed a #1 paper filter between the brew basket and secondary filter. The grounds were placed inside the brew basket. Almost an entire bottle of Dasani water was poured in (which was surprising since the well is only supposed to hold a maximum of 14 oz and a bottle of Dasani is 16.9 oz) and the bold brew cycle was again started. A few minutes later the second mug was ready, and it DID actually taste better than the first. The slight acidic taste I experienced with the first mug was not present in the second mug. This improved the taste from being decent to being fantastic! So, in summary, I do not believe that paper filters are necessary when using "The Scoop" coffee maker but IMO the paper filters do cut down on the oil and acidic taste turning a decent cup of coffee into an even better cup. I would easily recommend this coffee machine to friends and family who are looking for something other than a "pod machine." The price is extremely reasonable, it's well made, looks nice, cleans up easily, doesn't take up a bunch of space and most importantly, it makes very good coffee. Oh... almost forgot... when brewing a cup or mug do NOT remove the cup when the coffee stops pouring into the cup. I discovered rather quickly that the coffee will stop pouring several times while filling my travel mug but would then start up again a second or two later. The mug/cup is ready to be removed once the green light goes out.

## Features

- Note: 1)Too coarse a grind, too little coffee, or insufficiently tamping the grounds before brewing can all lead to inadequate pressure for a proper brew. 2)It is important to note that the amount of espresso extracted will vary depending on the grind size and amount and reprogramming may be needed when the size and amount are adjusted.Filter type:Reusable

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you buy paper filters to fit in this machine to help with sludge ?**
A: I've been doing this 8 years WITH the same machine! I use Dasani water . OR You must use filtered water if you want your coffee maker to last over 8 years..OK PAPER FILTER just get the 2-4 cup size regular shape filter... 200 cost a couple bucks .Put it under the coffee scoop inside the screen filter. doesn't matter if it sticks out just put it in there mostly evenly don't waste time cutting it. .Then put the scoop coffee holder on top then add the amount of coffee you need in the scoop. I use 2 heaping tablespoons of coffee.. I add 16 oz of water. If you put a piece of tape over the little hole on the back of the machine you can use the a whole 16.9 oz bottle of water for your travel size mug.

**Q: What is the difference between this one and the Hamilton Beach 49995 FlexBrew Single Serve Coffeemaker?**
A: I do not know what the other Flexbrew is.  All I know is that the One Cup I purchased is for my 84 yr old mother and she loves it.  She wanted a pot that makes one cup of coffee at the time.  It took us about 6 cups to confirm the correct amount of coffee grounds and it was perfect for her and that is why I purchased it.  She loves it.

**Q: What is the height from the drip tray to the nozzle? Would an 8" thermos fit under the nozzle comfortably?**
A: I use a 30 oz Yukon tumbler that stands just under 8 inches with room to spare and if you remove the drip tray you get about another 1/2 inch.

**Q: Is coffee it makes strong enough? Are there any deference when you using "bold" model? Just wondering a scoop or a keurig with reusable filter.**
A: I am still unsung this machine after about a decade and I use about 2 tablespoon of single source ground beans and 11oz of water for a single cup. For my on the go mug I use closer to 3-4 tablespoons and 16 oz of water. The trick for better tasting is to let it sit for 10-20 minutes after brewing. It thickens a bit and tastes more bold. I also only use the bold brew button.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hamilton Beach Scoop Single Serve Coffee Maker
*by T***M on December 27, 2021*

I purchased the Hamilton Beach Scoop Single Serve Coffee Maker, Fast Brewing, Stainless Steel (49981A) on December 3, 2021. I followed the instructions, cleaned the parts and the coffee maker. Now here is the part that Hamilton Beach leaves out of their instructions. (This may have also been the user's problem that posted the video that initially poured in 8 ounces of water but she only got 4 ounces in her cup after it was brewed.) When I first poured water into the coffee maker to clean it, I initially poured in 14 ounces of water, but it did not fill to the MAX line, which is 14 ounces. The coffee maker has a 4 ounce reservoir which allows it to be basically primed with 4 ounces of water to heat up quickly. (see picture with arrow) So, I had to add 4 additional ounces of water to get it to the MAX line. I ran the coffee maker on Regular on this first run to clean it. I again filled it with 14 ounces of water and this time it went to the MAX line. This time I chose Bold on this run to clean it. I again filled it with 14 ounces of water to the Max line, and ran it again on Bold for the third run to clean it. After this, I completely emptied the coffee maker of all water, and water poured out of the 4 ounce reservoir. I also noticed that water came out of the showerhead. Keep in mind, that if you travel with this coffee maker or don't use it for several days, this water is in this reservoir and if you don't remove it, it could begin to get moldy or get mildew in it which you don't want to happen. If you do travel with it and forget to empty it, and you lay it on it's side, you will have a water spill. Overall, I like the coffee maker. Some have said they have had a plastic taste in their coffee, I have not experienced that. Some have said it did not heat up very well, I did not have that problem. I tested the water temperature with a liquid thermometer when the coffee came out into my coffee cup and it was 182 degrees. Nice hot coffee, which is what I like! Initially I used it without any paper filters and I use a fine ground coffee. I had residue from the coffee grinds in my coffee cup. I use one tablespoon of coffee per 8 ounces of water. I have tried both settings, Regular and Bold, and have experienced no issues with the coffee maker. The Bold selection does run slower and the coffee is a little bolder but not much. If you make more than one cup of coffee with it, and use the same grounds for the second cup, the second cup will be weaker in taste, however, the color of the coffee was the same. The showerhead and the filters do get hot, so be careful when you touch those when you make that second or third cup. The best cups of coffee for me is to dump out the coffee each time from the filters and start fresh. I did purchase the 1 cup paper coffee filters and that has removed the coffee residue. Put the paper coffee filter under the scoop that holds the coffee, not in the scoop. It would be nice if Hamilton Beach provided coffee filters for this coffee maker. If you use a coarse ground coffee instead of a fine ground you may not have that issue as much but I believe that no matter what grind you use, you will have coffee bean fine dust from the grinding process that will initially end up in your cup of coffee without a paper coffee filter. I gave this coffee maker four stars because Hamilton Beach doesn't mention anything about the 4 ounce water reservoir on the initial fill of water nor do they mention that you should empty it each time of the water when you are done using it. Also, they should include paper coffee filters for those you wish to use them. I hope this review has been helpful, and please never let the water set in this and become stagnant. For if you do, you will definitely have some very nasty tasting coffee and it can't be very healthy for you either!
