| oldernowiser's Full Review: Hamilton Beach Brew Station Coffee Maker 47224 |
We went to visit our daughter a few months ago and she had this coffee maker. We loved it and set out to get one as soon as we got home.
I never could make good coffee but with this I make great coffee. It is so easy to use that I have gone from a tea drinker to a coffee addict. My husband uses it all the time and he raves about the great coffee it makes. I admit I have never used the auto timer feature so I can't comment on how well it works.
It is really easy to clean, no glass pots to worry about breaking. I really can't say why it is so much easier to make coffee in then conventional coffee makers but believe me it is. The way it dispenses coffee is so unique, just press the cup against the lever and out it comes! The unit shuts off automatically after two hours, being a scatterbrain I really like this feature. A couple times I forgot to pour the water into the back of the machine and I wondered why I was serving water instead of coffee. Now I make sure I remember to pour the water into the back!
While it is pretty big compared to some other coffee makers I finally found an ideal, convenient spot to put it. It would not fit on the counter under the cabinets. It fit but you had to pull it out every time to fill it.
My only complaint is I don't think it keeps the coffee hot enough. My husband disagrees and thinks the temperature is perfect. Correct temperature must be just a matter of personal taste. It does keep it hotter then another popular brand that we had before this one.
