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

    • I love the idea of how simple it is to take just the amount of coffee you want
    • Cool idea to dispense coffee, but awkward execution of the design.
    • Cute idea but eliminating the coffee pot only creates problems and dirties other parts
    • I liked the idea of not having a carafe sitting on a heating element for several hours and instead being able to dispense coffee by pushing the mug against the lever.
    • not worth the money....very difficult to clean and the coffee does not taste as should...almost a bland watery coffee flavor!This coffee pot has great idea with a holding container to keep coffee hot...however it needs more filtering!
    • I did alot of research on coffee makers before buying this one, and decided to go with it because I wanted one that would keep my coffee hot but loved the idea of not having a separate carafe to wash everyday, and being able to pour straight into my to go mug
    • and I so wanted to love it as the idea of no carafe is very appealing.
    • The idea of dispensing the coffee rather that than having to pour it from a carafe is a great idea
    • but I love the brew station idea at home,
    • Kudos to the designers at Hamilton Beach for taking a clever idea and making it much, much better.
    • Nice coffee maker, cool idea that it dispenses the coffee and no carafe, and that it does keep the coffee fresh longer in the holding tank,however
    • Heating plastic that your coffee is sitting in all day doesn't strike me as a great idea
    • I like the idea and execution of no actual coffee pot, also having 3 main removable components has allowed for "lesser" able coffee makers in my home (sorry babe) to make coffee without a critical error of adding grinds in little small places they don't belong that directly contributed to a massive failure of my MUCH more expensive maker
    • I loved the idea of not having a carafe and warming plate that would burn the coffee, but disappointed in the coffee flavor from this machine, even on Bold setting.
    • I bought this one because I like the idea of coffee ready and direct to my mug but don't like the waste of Keruigs.
    • Still, I liked the basic non-carafe idea
    • Very frustrating because I like the idea of the brewstation instead of the carafe but don't like the high cost of other brands
    • But my husband loved the idea of pushing the lever in and your coffee comes out
    • Very frustrating because I like the idea of the brewstation instead of the carafe but don't like the high cost of other brands

    • My first experience with this coffee maker was at a rental home in Florida, and I liked the idea of not having a carafe that can break.
    • I was really disappointed in this maker as the idea of no glass carafe really appealed to me, but I can't keep pouring coffee all over my kitchen!
    • Everyone who uses it, usually says the same thing "What a great idea"
    • Cute idea but eliminating the coffee pot only creates problems and dirties other parts
    • I love the idea of the brewstation,
    • but when I saw this "carafe-less" coffe maker it seemed like a great idea since its price is equal to only about 3 carafes
    • Nice design idea, but leaks from the bottom after only 1 year
    • I like the entire idea if this system
    • love the idea of no pot, but one thing is the 4 hour length of time from brewing to shut off.
    • This is a good idea and a better idea would be to allow the overflow water to instead enter an overflow chamber once the 12 Cup max limit is reached.
    • I do like the idea of no carafe and it doesnt burn the coffee, but for $50, i can do better.
    • What a great idea to get rid of the carafe.
    • I love the idea of no carafe but they still need to make a better product.
    • Everyone who visits loves the idea of not having to use a carafe.
    • Love the idea ('no carafe') and hope future models are better constructed.
    • I loved the idea of the Brewmaster, but the product was a disappointment.
    • 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.
    • Hamilton Beach sent me a lovely e-mail telling me how great their company was, and it's still on Amazon
    • The only complaint I would have is that although it does fit perfectly under my cabinet, I have to pull it all the way to the edge of my counter when I am removing the basket and used coffee grounds, as well as when I am setting it up with fresh coffee and grounds.
    • This is hard to clean up as we have a tile and grout counter top and the coffee stains the grout
    • I hope to enjoy this one as long as I enjoyed my first machine!
    • I don't like a of clutter on my countertop and this filled the bill.
    • This one has all the great features described and makes a great pot of coffee in a flash... as well as keeps it warm without scalding it.
