I recently had the chance to review the Hamilton Beach Personal Cup Stay or Go Coffee Maker.  Our family had not yet made the move to Senseo pods or k-cups for our coffee brewing as our coffee pot was still relatively new and was working perfectly.  We are certainly not a family to just get something just because we want it.  We make sure that we have a need.  But, let me say, had I known how great this coffeemaker was, we’d probably have done it ourselves sooner!

My husband is actually more of a coffee drinker than I am (but I am slowly getting there).  He loves that he can brew a large cup to have on Sunday morning, or have it brewed instantly into his cup to take with him to work during the week.  the stand is actually “reversible” to accommodate whatever size cup you are using.

The Senseo pods.  Oh, the beautiful Senseo pods.  There are so many great flavors to choose from!  I love PARIS  — such a sweet blend of caramel and french vanilla.  Seriously good stuff – and like I said – I am not a huge coffee drinker.  The unit even comes with a coupon!  I had to chuckle when I opened the pamphlet and saw that.  It was like a special little present tucked inside.  If you are looking for a deal on Senseo pods, you will want to watch Amazon.  They have some incredible deals on these from time to time — better than anything you can find in the store.

If you had asked me a month ago if we’d own one of these, I’d have said – maybe someday.  But now that we own one, I think I’d cry if someone took it away from me!

  1. I am new to drinking coffee & like Folgers french vanilla mixed with hot chocolate mix!! Normally my go to morning beverages are chocolate milk or diet coke!

  6. I am really enjoying Starbucks Caffe Verona. It’s a medium-strength blend that tastes great with a little cream and sugar! 🙂

  9. I don’t drink coffee, but many in my family do .My drink of choice is water or OJ. Ha! Boring!

  19. Does Irish Coffee count as my favorite blend? 😉 I also like french vanilla alot. The Paris blend that you mentioned sounds great. My “go to” morning drink is actually a BIG Diet Coke that I drink fairly quickly to make me human (and help me find “nice mommy”). I put my coffee in an insulated mug even around the house so I can drink it slowly and enjoy it for awhile.

  20. My favorite blend is Kona. If I’m not drinking coffee in the morning it is usually OJ.

    Oh my heavens, that Paris blend sounds scrumptious!

  30. I actually don’t drink coffee, unless its frappes from McDonalds. 🙂 I am more of a tea drinker. But my husband is a big coffee drinker, and his birthday is coming up, so this would be perfect!!

  31. My favorite flavor/blend of coffee is Breakfast blend! It smells so good in the morning!

  34. Normally I drink tea, but after a night up with nursing baby and toddler with nightmares I totally go for the coffee

  36. I dont have a favorite blend I usually just buy a new one everyweek,my go to drink is Coffee, and the first thing I do in the am is drink coffee I carry a travel mug with me everywhere I go and drink it all day, sometimes I take a mug to bed with me.

  37. My favorite morning beverage is a cafe mocha. Nothing like a combo of chocolate and coffee to get your day started!

  38. “Betty’s Blend” from the Roasterie here in KC is the most amazing coffee ever. I discovered it about a year ago and rarely drink anything but it. It’s definitely my go-to drink every morning.

  41. My favorite coffee is Dunkin’ donuts origional! Every morning…can’t function without it!

  50. I like maxwell house lite because I drink quite a bit of coffee and don’t need all that caffeine!! The darker roasts are good because I also like a stronger coffee but not a bitter taste.

  52. I Love French Roast but in the morning any type will do! I am a huge fan of coffee any time of day and would love this!!!

  57. I don’t drink coffee, but my husband does, and I make him a cup to go, every morning! I need as simple as possible, because I don’t even know what a good cup of coffee taste like…LOL

  67. My go to morning drink is cappucino mix, but have a feeling I will be going to real coffee here soon.

  68. I don’t drink coffee everyday because I prefer the “gourmet” stuff that costs alot. I do on the other hand drink diet coke every morning 🙂 It’s funny that you posted this review, as I was just looking at this coffee maker on Amazon this morning. I so want to purchase one, but as a single mom the cost has kept me from doing so. I was comparing this maker to the Keurig and some of the others and telling myself….some day 🙂

  76. I have the old-style coffee maker, so I would love to try this out. Yes I know, I need to come into this century. Sad I know.

  91. K so I don’t drink coffee, I love the smell of it cause it reminds me of my dad, but my hubby is a true blue coffee drinker, and with our new little one, I would love to have this for him to help him get goin in the mornings 🙂

  95. i love french vanilla coffe – definitely my go to
    however my favorite splurge is the caramel frappucino at starbucks

  104. I LOVE Kwit Trip coffer with a little cream and splenda, I follow you on facebook, and I subscribe to the daily digest.

  107. My favorite is regular coffee with French Vanilla creamer. I like most flavors of coffee, but this is what I usually buy. We are big coffee drinkers here, I try not to drink too much because of the caffeine but MUST have at least one cup!

  108. I don’t drink coffeee….but LOVE the smell! I drink a caffeine free diet coke 32 oz every morning. Wish I could quit! 🙂

  114. There are so many great coffees out there! I really enjoy Dunkin’ Donuts brand and at the moment a roasted blend from our local roasters – Stumbeano’s Coffee Roasterie. In the fall, I enjoy a Cinnamon Pecan from Harmony Bay Coffee.

  115. I like a light blend of coffee – usually the breakfast blends are perfect! Add in some type of caramel creamer, and it’s perfect!

  120. I usually by Dunkin’ Donuts coffee and then add flavored creamers, we especially love the winter/holiday creamers!

  125. I do have a Keurig. It’s fun and convenient, but does not make the “froth” I see from the Senseo or Tassimo. I would guess the Hamilton Beach would be similar to those, because of using the pods. I would LOVE to try the Hamilton Beach, since I’m not as impressed with my Keurig.

  127. I love the organic Nicaraguan blend from Target. Never knew I had a preference for any flavor until I tried this one. Now I can only drink this one and a couple of others if I really want to enjoy my coffee.

  128. Hello,
    I LOVE coffee. I was just talking about how I would love this style so that I can have my dark roast and my husband can do his mild. I can’t justify spendy money on specialty coffee so we try to make our own creations at home. This would be so much fun to have.

  129. What is your favorite blend of coffee? I tend to drink half-caf or Lite coffees, but I MUST have my french vanilla creamer…lol

    What is your “go to” morning beverage? Coffee! At home. At work.

  130. I drink the Columbian line of Folgers. My go to drink during the week is Diet Coke, but I love coffee on the weekends.

  131. I just started becoming a coffee drinker. I am still a plain jane. Just serve me a cup with half and half, and just a tad bit of sugar.

  137. I love cinnamon coffee, but hubby likes a dark rich roast. Have been considering a pod maker but hate to replace the perfectly good pot we have already 🙂

  138. I love Seattle’s Best or Cameron’s brand, and usually prefer a flavored blend. I’d LOVE to win this as I’ve been dying to get a single-cup brewer for a while but haven’t been able to justify the splurge! 🙂

  145. I don’t drink coffee, but I would love to have an instant coffee maker to make my hot tea with – my stupid microwave is so weak and it takes FOREVER to warm a cup of water! My favorite tea is Sleepytime.

  146. I like good old Folgers…but like trying new things. These pods would be a great way to try a lot of new flavors without committing to a huge canister. Like you, been wanting to try one of these but too “tight” to blow the money on a want, not a need.

  152. I don’t drink coffee, but my husband drinks about a pot a day in the wintertime. He loves many different Starbuck’s blends.

  158. Hi! I would love to win the coffee maker! It sounds great!

    I follow you on Facebook

    But every once I treat myself to some caramel flavored coffee.

  163. I don’t drink coffee but my husband love Starbucks Carmel Whole bean coffee.

  169. I like most of dunkin donuts coffee. It’s yummy! Would love to try one of these. If I make a pot I end up throwing some away because I don’t drink more than a cup or two and it’s just me drinking it at home.

  175. We have been using the Kirkland whole bean from Costco and grinding it at the store + I always use a flavored creamer!

  181. My sister brought me back Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee from their honeymoon. I am definately hooked!

  187. I am not a coffee drinker but everyone else in my family is. They all love the sweek varieties. I am a tea (or cocoa) drinker.

  198. Starbucks latte is the best. But at home, love New England Coffee flavor Blueberry Cobbler.

  208. Ahh, as I write this, I am dreaming of winning the prize… AS I dream about the many different blends of coffee I like. About which one/ones do I write? So many to choose—- a hot cup of plain black decaf will always hit the spot… but I will never turn down a Churchill’s Sinless Pastry blend. Or anything caramel (hot or iced). And now my church serves the best coconut creme flavor EVER!!! Yum… gotta run and pour me a cup of something!!!

  211. My favorite coffee in the morning is a high quality Colombian or a nice espresso to get me going!

  212. I do not drink coffee, but I would love to win this for my husband! I drink milk with my breakfast and water during the day.

  213. There is a local coffee company here that makes New Mexico Pinon Coffee. My favorite flavor is the French Vanilla.

  274. Cinnamon dulce mocha from Starbucks is my “to die for” coffee drink. I go to great lengths to obtain this…kind of sad. lol!

  281. I have always been a big tea drinker, but with all the amazing flavors of coffee they have now I’m slowly seeing the tide change. French Vanilla yum. Love the quick To-Go feature of this product.

  282. I love anything French Vanilla. I also love Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha.

  285. I love the smell of coffee but do not drink it. Myhusband on the other hand is a coffee lover. I like hot tea in the mrnings!

  286. I love the fall when I can find spiced pumpkin otherwise I go for cinnamon vanilla or hazelnut.

  291. I love Dunkin’s French Vanilla in the cold weather and their mocha iced coffee in the summer! Mmmmmm….

  305. I do not drink coffee, but my husband LOVES it! He enjoys Starbucks coffee the best!

  307. We splurge on coffee house beans from Z’s in Lawrence, usually whatever is on sale. It makes waking up and commuting enjoyable. Very much needed in our house with a 4 month old.

  308. I have a morning love affair with coffee. We usually drink your average Folgers due to affordability, but they have a specialty Brazilian Sunrise that is great! I once had a coffee pod that was Blueberry infused–surprisingly good!

  325. I’m mostly a tea drinker. I do like to treat myself to a coffee once or twice a week with a flavored creamer.

  330. I am a McDonalds coffee lover. But the Paris blend you mentioned sounds wonderful to try since I am a big caramel fan.

  341. My husband is the coffee drinker. Anything close to a french vanilla taste is his favorite. Would make a great surprise for him!

  346. I love coffee – especially the milder, not as dark, blends! My favorite flavor is probably something carmel-ish or vanilla-ish or chocolate-ish or… hmmm, see I can’t decide! Now i’ve got to go get the coffee pot going!

  347. I love to make my own flavored coffees at home using Splenda and Hot chocolate mix…my own mocha!

  356. I do not like the coffee that my friend Lee makes, it can stand on it’s own two feet.

  361. I don’t drink coffee but will often have a diet coke or just some water in the morning.

  364. I love coffee, particularly the dark, robust kinds such as French Roast and Santo Domingo!

  373. For some reason, I got hooked to instant coffee when I was young and that is my go-to every morning. But, I would use this for my hubby. Thanks for the giveaway.

  376. I don’t drink coffee, but I have to have a cold Dr. Pepper in the morning. My husband loves any vanilla flavor in his coffee!
