The Hamilton Beach Scoop Single-Serve Coffeemaker brews a customizable cup quickly– an 8 ounce cup in less than 90 seconds, and a 14 ounce travel mug in under two-and-a-half minutes. Use the regular setting for a quick basic automatic drip coffee, or get an upgrade and choose BOLD for more fine grinds, decaf or stronger flavors.
The coffeemaker uses a mesh scoop filter so you can brew with your choice of coffee grounds. We love that each scoop filter is labeled with two measuring lines for exact serving amounts.

Here are some things to consider before purchasing a new coffee maker for the senior in your life.
Many of the coffee makers in our review tout super quick brew time. A few offer brew pause as well if you need to grab a cup before brewing is finished. Consider how quickly you will need your coffee to complete brewing. If brew speed is important to you, look for a coffeemaker with quick brew time and brew pause if you want to grab your cup immediately.
Depending on how much coffee you drink and how many people you will be serving consider if you will need a carafe of coffee, or if a single cup will suffice. If you plan to get a carafe, consider if the coffeemaker has a warming plate, and how many cups it serves.
A few of the coffee makers in our review come equipped with permanent filters. These will often be the more eco-friendly choice as they help eliminate the need for paper filters. Consider also if there is an option to use your own reusable filter.
Consider if you will need the automatic shut-off feature, and how long you want to have your coffee maker on before it is automatically shut off. This can be nice if you want to brew your coffee, and leave it on the warmer for possibly a cup later. This alleviates the worry of having left it on, and burning the pot.
