Hamilton Beach 12-Cup Coffeemaker, BrewStation Plus —
We purchased the Hamilton Beach Brewstation Plus and will be returning it tomorrow. Here's what we liked.
- not having to deal with a carafe
- coffee brewed quickly and tasted well
- easy to program and set clock
Here's what we didn't like.
- cumbersome to work with (e.g. pouring water into the reservoir)
- too tall for a countertop because you always have to move it forward to clear the upper cabinet to pour the water into the reervoir
- power cord too short (~ 2 feet)
- the container guage to determine how much coffee was too narrow and very difficult to determine how much was left.
Bottomline... concept is good but didn't suite us. We'll be looking at the traditional carafe type (but not a glass carafe).
