    Hamilton Beach (47950) Coffee Maker with 12 Cup Capacity & Internal Storage Coffee Pot, Brewstation, Black/Stainless Steel

    • I love this coffee maker and when it breaks, I’ll replace it with the same or a newer model because it’s a really great design!
    • Terrible design, leaks water
    • The fact that the water doesn't have to be poured into the pot for brewing is an awesome design
    • A better design would be - a slightly deeper indentation to put your cup and the level just below the buttons so you can manually release the coffee/water.
    • I like the design with the water tank for filling on the side with its easy lift handle and the ability to remove the coffee tank for easy cleaning.
    • the coffee filter / basket is painful because of a poor design of how to grasp the structure.
    • It would be a better design if the tray snapped into the main body of the machine
    • I love it; what a great design not to have a carafe and to have an easy fillable container.
    • This design is really cool
    • While I like the design and the idea behind the internal reservoir I feel this item is severely flawed
    • This is a great new design and is easier to fill and clean.
    • + Great design in terms of function ... as in I like the way it is set
    • Don’t buy this coffeemaker-it’s cheaply made and leaks in addition to to the top cover coming loose from the poorly designed “hinge”.
    • A BAD DESIGN!
    • [I have a background in patent law, and as my boss used to say, if you can't figure it out and operate it w/o an inch of instructions, it is a bad design--he would love this).
    • its great design, cleans easily, BUT
    • The old model we had, where the basket was picked up and water was poured in below was a much better design than this move to the unnecessary water reservoir on the side
    • Very bad design
    • leaks water from lid into coffee maker have to unplug and dump out poor design
    • We avoided models between this one and older one because of poor design issues, but we really like this one
    • This model 47950 has definite design flaws, quality problems, and should be removed from production
    • Bad design.
    • Well designed, Programming works well.
    • I really liked the design but it needs to work properly!
    • the area under the canister gathers water from a poor design of how the water flows into the filter to make the coffee.
    • Best BrewStation yet, love the new design
    • This is a little better design than previous models.
    • Love the Design of the coffee brew stations.
    • I'm not sure how this problem could be solved but it definitely IS a poor design issue with this
    • I loved the idea of the removable water reservoir and not having a carafe, but the design makes it hard to clean.
    • [I have a background in patent law, and as my boss used to say, if you can't figure it out and operate it w/o an inch of instructions, it is a bad design--he would love this).
    • It is designed so that the condensation drains back into the water reservoir rather than into the heating

    • Love the design
    • (the day I came back to buy a different one).I love the design
    • As I mentioned in my original post, this design is convenient for those confined to wheelchairs to be able to get their own
    • Much better design than the old one
    • i use this machine to brew hot or iced tea and i love it, great design with removable water reservoir which really makes filling easy
    • As others have noted, the design for the current model is hopelessly flawed.
    • If it only last a another month this coffee maker will be the best, most well designed and trouble- free brewer I have ever purchased
    • It works fine, just it is designed, and therein lie the problems
    • Very poor design!
    • It has a nice, sleek design and is easy enough for even my husband to operate on a daily basis!We had an older, similar model to this that lasted about six years before finally going out a few months ago
