    Hamilton Beach (48464) Coffee Maker with 12 Cup Capacity & Internal Storage Coffee Pot, Brewstation, Black

    • Nice idea but coffee isn't very hot
    • No carafe is the best idea for coffee dispensing and less work than cleaning a breakable carafe
    • The no carafe idea is great, so no mineral buildup or coffee stains
    • Thought this was a wonderful idea.
    • After having a coffee pot with an actual pot for years and constantly battling keeping the pot clean I love the idea of having a coffee reservoir instead
    • I liked the idea of the Keurig, but wasn't to keen on the waste.
    • I liked the idea that it was a combination of 12-cup coffee maker with the convenience of a Keurig
    • I liked the idea of not having a coffee pot, typically made of glass, breakable and always getting burned coffee if it sat for an
    • Love the idea of this coffeemaker
    • I thought this would be such a great idea
    • I think having a heating unit inside a plastic body is a bad idea.
    • I liked the idea of not having a coffee pot, typically made of glass, breakable and always getting burned coffee if it sat for an
    • I like the idea of dispensing directly into the cup and it seems less prone to burning the coffee than a traditional carafe.
    • This coffee maker seems like a good idea but it really isn't and it isn't nice to use.
    • I like the idea of no carafe, the dispenser concept, and the brewing, but it is awkward to fill, clean, and effort to avoid spilling water on the element.
    • Whoever thought leaving hot liquid in a plastic container for extended period of time is a good idea deserves to get punched in the face
    • While I like the overall idea of not having a coffee pot to fill, pour into the coffee maker and then pour a cup of coffee, I find the brew station really is just like a coffee pot with the exception that you don't need to pick up the basket to pour a cup of coffee
    • , I like the idea that it automatically lets you know when its time to clean it
    • The Brew Station is a great IDEA however this Hamilton Beach is good for the first 15 minutes after the coffee is done brewing
    • I was really liking the concept of this machine, no pot makes it looks much cleaner, and the idea of just pressing a mug against the base to release coffee seemed like a great idea
    • What engineer had that bright idea
    • I love the idea of this coffee maker
    • Love the idea of coffee staying within the same coffee maker
    • The idea of an internal holding system was nice, but not if I have to stick my hand under piping hot coffee to unstick the nozzle, or mop my floors every time I want coffee.
    • The idea is great but the cup dispensing area is way to small
    • Being able to take a mug or a cup and just pour what you want is such a great idea and it works well
    • I would not recommend this unit, again the idea is great, but I think it needs a few more iterations before it is in a working state.
    • Being able to take a mug or a cup and just pour what you want is such a great idea and it works well
    • I love the dispenser idea without the carafe but the trade off with the difficulty of cleaning the machine is not worth it
    • I love the idea of the potless coffee maker
    • I would not recommend this unit, again the idea is great, but I think it needs a few more iterations before it is in a working state.
    • I purchased this coffee maker about 7 months ago because I loved the idea of no carafe to wash and no disgusting, rusted burner under the carafe.
    • And the coffee does not stay as hot as I like
    • It would have been nice if they had put a littl e LED light under the brew tank to illuminate the cup as it is filling
    • It is very quiet my old coffeemaker sputtered as it was finishing brewing this doesn't make that sound
    • The LED screen should have been a dark background with lit numbers, as it's difficult to read without being 8 inches away.- Condensation will remain in the top lid indefinitely, unless you hand dry
    • This was purchased for use in our home, for occasional use for us personally, as well as when we are hosting guests
    • The carafe part is impossible to clean as it has so many nooks and crannies to
    • A very nice upgrade and working as it should.
    • The only negative thing I would say is after awhile the coffee doesn't seem as hot as when it was initially made, but that really isn't much of a negative
    • and i, I've now owned this myself for going on 3 years and still works the same as when I first got it
    • The "warmer" works like the regular burner on a pot... even tho it keeps the liquid hot, it still has that burn taste after a couple hours (not as much as a
