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

    • Its easy to clean, plastic looks a little
    • Plastic breaks too easy
    • It's cheap, very plastic, and makes a marginal cup of coffee
    • It is still kicking and going strong with each brew!Unlike a glass pot coffee brewer the coffee stays in the top plastic section
    • Made of flimsy plastic that fits together very precariously.
    • The plastic is flimsy, and the coffeemaker is so lightweight that when you push the button to dispense the coffee, the whole thing slides on the counter (even with the rubber stoppers inserted on the bottom--maybe because my counter is granite, idk).
    • Also if you're trying to avoid hot plastic this is not the coffee pot for you, as the hot coffee is kept warm in a plastic receptacle.
    • Still has a strong plastic smell to the water.
    • Maybe the plastic got a little brittle after 5 years of hot/cold, but either way I needed a new coffee maker
    • The plastic beneath the heating element made a very loud pop and broke into two chewing gum stick sized pieces and fell into brew basket.
    • The plastic is more plentiful and the product has a cheaper feel.
    • Cheap plastic.
    • there is a terrible plastic taste though.
    • The cons, it does sweat, it's messy and cumbersome to fill, easy to spill when filling the reservoir, when making a second pot all the condensation will run down the inside and outside of the maker when you lift the lid, and it's made with cheap plastic material.
    • We liked this pot the first month, mostly for convenience of setting a timer and waking to hot coffee, but then started having trouble and noticing a faint plastic taste to coffee.
    • The plastic bar that you press your cup into to get the coffee dispensed controls a cheap plastic compression mechanism, which now leaks
    • With the first couple of brews there was a burnt plastic smell and it even got into the taste a little bit, this was expected when reading the other reviews.
    • The spout is a very slick plastic and can't be rested on the opening without sliding.
    • I don't think it's good to have the plastic so close to that element possibly heating the plastic and leeching into your coffee
    • Plastic breaks too easy
    • The coffee chamber (if left with coffee) starts to taste like burnt plastic when you dispense coffee- had to return mine.
    • After a while that plastic becomes warped from heat and the machine will only dispense coffee in a slooooow trickle
    • It's not too cumbersome to fill/wash/set up, however there are cheap plastic parts that fall off every time I move it (which is every time I need to refill or wash the basin
    • Similar to other reviews, I enjoyed this brewer for the first few months of its life; however, about 6 months in I started to notice a strange salty/plastic taste to my coffee (weird, but no other way to describe the odd taste)
    • 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
    • It makes a nice cup(s) of coffee.
    • n’t turn the warmer back on without running another it
    • And the coffee does not stay as hot as I like
