29. I looked at that possibility but I like my two machines better

Nov 2017

Each of them just has a scoop to be filled, nothing fancy, easy to do even when I am one handed.

The only reason I have two is that for a while the Hamilton-Beach refused to sense that there was water in the machine. I soaked it in vinegar, left it for several months and my husband messed with it last week as a last effort and got it going again.

But while the H-B was on strike, the Proctor-Silex was the only single serve that met my needs available locally. It's OK but not as easy to use as the H-B.

I also have a twelve cup H-B BrewStation that holds coffee in a vat and keeps it warm for two hours. That is the machine I use when I have guests. But it doesn't like making less than five cups - far more than I need in a day.
