| michelle7898's Full Review: Hamilton Beach Brew Station Coffee Maker 47224 |
I bought the Hamilton Beach Brew Station Coffee Maker as a gift for my mother for Christmas this year.I first saw and made the choice to buy it at my boyfriend's aunt's house.She had bought one and was using it that day to serve coffee to her guests.I have coffee at her house every day and I noticed a big change in the taste and texture of the coffee.
My mother opened her's on Christmas eve.She opened the box up right away and began to rinse and use it.We went through the first steps together.The water filter just slides right in and does come with an extra to replace it when it is done being used.We set the time and left the automatic timer alone because we never know when we are getting up.To make the coffee it's self, first you take out the filter basket and underneath that is the water holder which also pulls out.You fill it up to 12 cups for a full pot and put it back in it's cradle.Then put a round filter or round filter basket in and add your coffee.Put the filter basket back in and your ready to turn the coffee pot on.
We even sat there to see how long it took to brew the coffee because our old pot took about 11 minutes to complete a pot of 12 cups.The Hamilton Beach Brew Station Coffee Maker took all of 8 minutes.
My mother was thrilled with the taste in the coffee, her comments were as follows:
"It tastes so much better, it's not chalk like any more.
Wow, you can tell the water is filtered huh?I have never had my coffee taste like Dunkin Donuts coffee before."
I had to agree with her because before she used this pot I would never drink a cup of coffee at home.I always went out to buy it most of the time.
My mother loved the fact that the coffee stayed hot while we were opening gifts and was still hot 3 hours later.Not warm but really hot as if it were just made.
It comes with a three year warranty which covers just about every thing.It also comes with an order form where you can put in orders for new filters or a filter basket if you choose to.You would have to order the filter basket through them if you wanted one because it takes an over sized one and the ones in the store are too small.But filter baskets stain so easy I would rather buy a 200 pack of paper filters and just throw them away when done.They last a while and are only 1.00 each so you can't go wrong.
The Hamilton Beach Brew Station Coffee Maker I bought is black with a upside down cone shaped see through front so you can see how much coffee is still in the pot.The clock and buttons are on the right side going down.The top front of the pot says Hamilton Beach on it.The middle has the lever which is sort of rounded.You just push your cup into it and the coffee pours right into the cup so it does not spill.If you spill a little while pulling it away you don't even have to worry because there is a mini grate that catches it and all you have to do is clean it when you clean out the rest to make more coffee.
The features of the Hamilton Beach Brew Station Coffee Maker are as follows:
1.Gentle warming heater
2.2-hour automatic shutoff
3.24-hour automatic brewing
4.One-hand dispenser
5.No carafe
6.Thermal insulated
7.Makes 12-cups
8.Has a filter for the water.
With features like that I can't see how any coffee drinker would not be impressed.I bought the Hamilton Beach Brew Station Coffee Maker the week before Christmas for $39.99
at BJ's Wholesale Club.I am not sure if it is just a Rhode Island store or not but they have a web site you can check out.The site is the store name.Feel free to take a look.
My mother uses her Hamilton Beach Brew Station Coffee Maker every day at least 6 or 7 times.There are five people living in our house all who drink coffee so we tend to go through quite a bit of coffee.She has had no problems with it and loves it very much.She said the best thing is the one hand dispenser because she has a bad elbow and the other pot she had made her elbow hurt whenever she poured a cup of coffee.
She tells all her friends about it and has convinced a few of them to go out and buy one.She even said if it broke she would just keep getting another one and it would still be worth it just for the taste.
My mother is a coffee nut.She drinks nothing but coffee all of the time.So for her to feel so strongly about the Hamilton Beach Brew Station Coffee Maker, I know it is the best by far.
I am very glad that I chose this as my mother's gift.She is so happy with it and I doubt she would have been this happy with any thing else.I recommend the Hamilton Beach Brew Station Coffee Maker to any coffee drinker, or to any person who could give this to some one who happens to be a coffee drinker.For the money it is a great find.
