Hamilton Beach 14-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker vs Black & Decker DCM100B Coffee Maker

Both are basic programmable drip brewers that do the same job. The Hamilton Beach holds 14 cups, gives you a 1-4 cup setting and a bold option, and has a glass carafe that goes in the dishwasher. The Black & Decker holds 12 cups, has a water window you can read at a glance, and carries a much larger review base with a slightly higher rating. Pick the Hamilton Beach for bigger households and smaller batches; pick the Black & Decker for simple, proven everyday brewing.

• Choose the Hamilton Beach 14-Cup if you brew for a crowd, want a 1-4 cup setting for small batches, or want a dishwasher-safe glass carafe.
• Choose the Black & Decker DCM100B if you want a straightforward 12-cup brewer with an easy-view water window and a long track record with owners.
