    Hamilton Beach (48465) Coffee Maker with 12 Cup Capacity & Internal Storage Coffee Pot, Brewstation, Stainless Steel

    • Wonderful design -- easy to make the coffee in the morning. comes out steaming hot
    • Great design.
    • and I love the push dispense button design.
    • If you are looking for a cheap, well made, well designed carafe-less coffee maker, I highly recommend the Brewstation Summit Ultra
    • I like this style, where you push the button to get coffee, but it is a bad design
    • just not as well designed.
    • I like the design where I dispense directly into my mug.
    • Awkward design especially for filling the water station.
    • Really solid coffee maker with a sleek design and a relatively intuitive interface.
    • I thought this design would be easier without a glass carafe to worry about, but I was wrong
    • The design of this is so flawed, you’ll find the flow of the pour decreasing... and decreasing... and decreasing, all the while cleaning it as it instructs you to do
    • Too bad, nice sleep clean design.
    • It makes coffee fine, however it is flimsy and cheaply designed
    • The only criticism I have is that it can be a little messy when dispensing the brew as the design is not very user friendly
    • We really enjoy the carafe-less design and have had several other models over the years
    • I also like the basket and pot design.
    • There are so many design flaws and serious hazards with this unit
    • Whoever designed this thing has never made more than one pot of coffee, get ready with the ove-gloves and two towels, it's hot and will drip condensate water all over the floor, very poor design and it sure doesn't make 12 cups of coffee, I drink two normal size cups and the guage is showing that it's only half full.....VERY BIG DISAPPOINTMENT .....:-(
    • Replaced older model which the dispenser button broke on...hoping for better design on this one.
    • just can't beat this coffee maker - great price, awesome design, hot delicious coffee
    • , the design of this particular model adds a bit of stupidity--to what should be a better design, not worse.
    • The newer design is much sleeker and I like being able to eye the water tank, which the new design offers
    • Who is telling you that this is a good design?
    • It's easy to use and to clean, and we love the carafe-free design
    • Not surprising since the Hamilton Beach as well as all the other brands are designed in a third world country where the engineers probably ride a donkey to work, probably don't have electricity in their homes, probably don't have a bathroom in their homes, and may have never heard of coffee
    • Very well-designed.
    • They are less expensive, well designed and work great
    • I love the design but the execution makes me think the product testing/QA was skipped.
    • They are less expensive, well designed and work great
    • From the sleek design to the ease of operating this coffee maker is the greatest

    • Design of this is total failure
    • Overall, it's an excellent design (my teenage son pronounced it "
    • It was getting old and I wanted something with a sleeker design.
    • Pros: coffee is very hot, it has 1-4 hours for keep warm setting, the design on top is a little better, though you can't leave it underneath a cupboard to fill it
    • It is very convenient and well designed for ease of use and cleaning
    • I love the design of this coffee maker; it is very easy to use and clean
    • It has a very sleek design, it's affordable, and it has the ability to do regular coffee as well as iced coffee
    • Too bad, nice sleep clean design.
    • Very poor design
    • this was to replacing a previous model, the older model was a better design that was easier to use during filling and dispensing.it does make good coffee.
    • Good so far, Love the design
    • Nothing wrong with the pot, just the overall design.
    • Very well designed, easy clean, great brew & features
    • This new design with the open water tank is perfect.
    • Smart design for sure.
    • Overall, a really good product as far as design.
    • It works great and I love the design.
    • This is a very good coffee maker for the money and is attractive and well designed.
    • Also, the design looks a lot nicer as it's sleeker looking and has more stainless steel accents on
    • The design is "loose" with little weird edges and seams that don't fit right
    • It is very well designed
    • First batch went over the top, bad design :( I will try for two weeks and give follow up
    • My previous unit was made by Kitchen Aid, I suffered through a year and a half of abuse with that poorly designed machine
    • Nice design idea, but leaks from the bottom after only 1 year
    • While the coffee does brew to near perfection (that's per my wife), the design of this product is relatively poor.
    • The previous model was a better design.
    • We just decided it was time for a new maybe more slender model, we love this design because of no carafe cleaning, no pouring, easy serving others.
    • Better design than the last one
    • Thus the the large clumsy design was not justified
    • Very well designed as before, but better.
    • The sleek design is perfect for that updated look, the timer is easy to use,and the keep hot option to select 1 to 4 hours is a new option my older brewmaster did not have
    • The design of this model eliminates the biggest leak problem, condensation.
    • Good concept, but not a great design.
    • First batch went over the top, bad design :( I will try for two weeks and give follow up
    • Nice design idea, but leaks from the bottom after only 1 year
    • Really do love the "carafe-less" design.
    • Hamilton Beach sent me a lovely e-mail telling me how great their company was, and it's still on Amazon
    • I can make the coffee as strong as I like it, with the bold setting
    • If I'd been able to see how it worked I probably would not have purchased it.
