As far as I know, it only comes in black. But, as you can see, the main part you see is the silver front of the drawer. There is some black surface showing upon which the coffeemaker sits, but that will depend on how big your coffeemaker is.

My Keurig is black and stainless steel and goes well with this stand. I think yours would look fine as long as the size of the stand will fit your coffee machine's base.

My Keurig is black and so is the top of the stand. I actually don't have mine on the counter though because when I set my Keurig on top of it, it's too close to the underside of the cabinet for me to be able to open the top of the coffer maker and put in the pod.

I own the Winn espresso and it has the same detail as shown in the picture, it's also black. Not sure if that's helpful but that's all I can tell you!

Mine works beautifully and has since day one. Perhaps you are using a weaker blend of coffee it's self or are using a choice of cup too large for your particular brand of coffee. I find some of the breakfast blends are a weaker coffee flavor. Use a smaller cup choice when you brew. If that doesn't work may I suggest that you have gotten a coffee maker that just doesn't work properly. Even the best of man made products are not always perfect; I think they call them lemons, but that does not make them all lemons. Send it back and try another one, Kuerig is a very fair company and I am sure they will work with you. Hope this helps.

That was my main concern too when I bought a bunn last year after spending weeks trying to pick a new coffee maker. I like strong, flavorful coffee (love starbucks brewed). I was worried it would be too watery and weak. It's not! I love my bunn now, best home coffee maker imo and ive been through them all. It makes the best tasting coffee. I grind my coffee pretty fine just to make sure it's as strong as I like it. I do think the main difference with the bunn, like they claim, is the temperature the water is for brewing. It really does seem to extract the best flavor from the coffee.

I think it's a great coffee pot. Keeps the coffee hot for HOURS--MUCH better, in that regard, than the Mr. Coffee one we now have. The Cuisinart's 12-cup capacity is also great. The problem is, we had bought two of them, and they both decided to quit on us with no warning. The second one quit about a month after we bought it. I didn't bother trying to send it back because I was too disgusted and didn't want a replacement. For all I know, the Mr. Coffee will do the same. The electronics are screwed up on the Cuisinart; even before it stopped working both times, the clock and timed-brewing features froze, and we had to plug it in and unplug it to get it to work. I wouldn't buy it. I think it's a great coffee pot. Keeps the coffee hot for HOURS--MUCH better, in that regard, than the Mr. Coffee one we now have. The Cuisinart's 12-cup capacity is also great.

You are getting a question back. When you say "old", how old do you mean?? Our Mr. Coffee TM20 we have had for at least 7 years. I recognize they have changed the unit style because I purchased one for my mother 3 years ago and it looks quite different from ours.

Angele: I was describing the coffee I received. There are companies selling inferior quality products using quality brand names. Maybe I just got a bad batch. I recommend a coffee you can buy in American supermarkets called PEETS Coffee Major Dickason Blend (ground). Quite good. http://www.gianteagle.com/ProductImages/PRODUCT_NODE_369/785357836563.jpg

My question for you is why you would want to buy this coffeemaker? It has poor ergonomics and makes a less than mediocre cup of coffee. It would be a terribly disappointing device for half the price they are trying to extort from you. Don't worry about the overpriced filters, find a coffeemaker that will deliver a decent cup of coffee first.

Hi, Kathy. I looked a long time for a coffee maker that that was if good quality and had a thermal carafe that would keep the coffee reasonable hot/warm all morning. I didn't want a hot plate heater, as the coffee didn't taste very good after a few hours and they would use a lot of electricity. I worried that the Bunn would use a lot of electricity with it's instant hot water reservoir, but my bill doesn't show any change because it is well insolated. I have been very happy with my choice. I'm 85 and I have seen lots more coffee makers than most folks.Regards, hope this is helpful, OldHenry Hi, Kathy.

Yes, Bonnie. This was a gift to my sister, she LOVES the coffee maker, and KitchenAid. The service from the company was great and I don't say that lightly. One of my many assignments at GM was in management in Customer Service and I do know the difference. Enjoy your new coffee maker. Glo

It seems to me that with the numbers being the same that a "LETTER" should follow the number; ie."R" would indicate that the item is Red in color and a "B" would indicate a Black unit. That's the only Rationale I can suppose at this time. May consider contacting Amazon or directly to Hamilton Beach for a more educated answer. The coffee Maker is fine and makes great coffee..........in time. Compared to other brands, it's somewhat slow. I hope this helps.Thanks for the inquiry.

It appears to be just painted a wood color on top. You would probably want to cover it with something if you put a coffee maker on it. BTW, I have had this for some time now and I love it!

Gee, it's instant COFFEE, so I believe it is the same; the process is possibly different but it's coffee. Why not check online for the breakdown and let us all know what comparisons you've found?

It's pretty dark espresso brown. If you don't put it next to each other, it probably wouldn't be too obvious. It's closer to black. But, if you put it side by side, you could see the difference. HTH. :)

It is classic but it's not black. It has a wonderful blend if cream and sugar all in one. So if you like your coffee black, this is not for you. Hope this helps.

I think you have me confused with someone else. I did not say on any website that this was a show model used. I sent mine back because there was no color and I couldn't resolve the issue.

Dunno if you're still monitoring this, but if four cups will do it for you in the mornings this may be your machine. Experiment with different roasts to get the flavor you like. I've found going to a darker roast gives me the strength I like even less than a full carafe. It'll brew those four cups faster than the Keurig does one with no noise.
