The Hamilton Beach 12 cup Brew Station is one of the best coffemakers I have owned. It is so easy to use and program. The ease of putting your cup up to the coffeemaker and BAM you have a fresh cup of coffee without the bothersome of a glass container or carafe. No worries. You can program it for a...

“Wish it had a thermal carafe!!”

I bought this coffee pot after reading several good reviews on it and am sorry that I spent the money. However, I feel that it is my mistake, not Hamilton Beaches. For years I have had a coffee pot that brews the coffee into a thermal carafe so it stays hot and doesn't continue to cook on a heating element....

I bought my first HB brewstation about 5-6 years ago. It was great, as long as you did a few things.
1. periodically run vinegar through it. It gets gummed up and needs a clean. - also keep the metal plate clean in the bottom of the tank.
2. use a separate container to pour the water. I filled the tank with water, then poured it into a cheap plastic pitcher. I marked the level, and from then on used the picher. It took all the guess work out, and I didn't have to carefully put the tank back w/water in it every time.
3. don't over fill. It drips into the electronics and causes it to not turn off,...

We drink a lot of coffee and time after time I've dealt with glass carafes that were like dribble cups. No matter how careful I tried to be there would be water spilled when filling the tank and coffe slopped on the counter and floor when pouring it into a cup. Problem solved! No pot. It makes good coffee and keeps it hot with no bitterness or scorching. I love this coffee pot. One tiny drawback - the gauge on the front is hard to read. I'll live with it.
We have purchased many coffee makers, various brands. We average about 2 pots a day during the week and possibly 4 or 5 each day on weekends. This is the first coffee maker that has lasted longer than one year. We purchased the Hamilton Beach in October 2004 and it is still going strong. We were just about to sink a lot more money into a commercially rated coffee maker when we bought this one to give it a try. We are so glad we did. You will definitely get your money's worth out of this coffee maker.
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......

Oftimes it is hard for the average consumer to differentiate between the hype and reality of product claims. After destroying our third carafe from different coffee makers we went forth to buy another. At Sears we came across the Hamilton Beach brew station which announced its main feature as not needing a glass carafe. Well, that was enough to convince us to give it a try and so we bought one. Six months later we couldn't be more pleased. No more carafes to be careful with. The coffee it makes is equally as good as any coffee maker we have used. We especially like that this brew station keeps...

Love this coffeemaker! We seem to go through at least one a year but this one has held up nicely. The features, like the hands free dispenser, are easy to use and convenient. The coffee tastes great and is nice and hot. We bought another one for our parents. Would definitely recommend.
My brewstation makes a marvelous cup of coffee... from the first to the last. It doesn't get bitter or "old", no matter how long it sits. Set the timer for a few minutes before you get up & coffee is ready and yummy when your feet hit the floor!
The perfect coffee maker for entertaining! Your guest can help themselves with less worry of spilling or slopy pouring. Great taste and easy to clean and maintain.
3 years and our unit started leaking coffee from coffee tank.
Model #47686 no loonger shows up under parts search on thier website.
Needs a new gasket between coffee tank and warming plate..guess I'll have to make one...... HATE to replace the unit because of something so minor but can't have it leaking!!
FANTASTIC COFFE MAKER though!!!
We first saw the BrewStation when visiting some family in Arizona. We liked it so much that as soon as we got home we bought our own and have not been sorry.
We started with the 8 cup and now have the 12 cup. It is so handy.
I like the fact that it has no glass carafe to break - a big feature!
It is also extremely easy to wash. I think anyone would like this coffee maker.
I bought the Hamilton Beach brew station to replace my cruisiart that had died. I like that it doesn't have the same teflon coating that wore off the cuisiart pot making me have to toss it out, but it could be sturdier. It's all plastic and causes it to slide around when you push the button to make the coffee. It does make a good cup of coffee and is easy to fill
