Hamilton Beach BrewStation 47224 12-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: brewed coffee sealed to protect flavor, easy to clean, one-handed dispensing
Cons: water filters can run into $$$ if you choose to use them

We’re tough on coffee makers. We get a new one every 1-2 years because the old one breaks. In this case, our last coffee maker, the Cu isinart Grind and Brew Coffee Maker just got me aggravated enough with its diffi ...

Pros: Entirely self-contained unit, no-drip dispenser, easy cleanup
Cons: Flat-bottomed filter assembly for the ground coffee, awkward for travel mugs

Some while back when our old coffee maker seemed on its last legs, Himself asked me to stop by the Best Buy near work and pick up a new one. There was much that we liked about our old machine. It was one of those expensive gourmet pots with an ...

Pros: Internal brewing keeps coffee fresh, dispenser button allows for clean and easy dispensing
Cons: Automatic shutoff should be variable, pouring water into reservoir can be messy, not weighted enough

I'm a non-picky coffee-drinker, just like my parents and my mother-in-law.  When my then-boyfriend and I first moved into a rental house together around my birthday, his mother bought me a cheap, simple coffee maker that I used daily.  The ...

Pros: One-hand operation. Easy to set-up, use, and to clean. Makes a statement on the counter.
Cons: Only two hours of warmer time? You must be kidding!

Arrival I bought this coffee maker, very simply, because I needed a new coffee pot. I was looking forward to moving to a new home and would need a coffee pot when I got there. I found the Hamilton Beach BrewStation on display and was ...

Pros: all in one unit, no pots to break or burners to get scorched
Cons: poor hardware integrity

After smashing one too many glass coffee pots in my day this unit caught my eye while looking online for a replacement pot. I liked that it was sans the glass pot and it had the self contained thermal dispenser system. So rather than just buy a ...

Pros: Keeps coffee hot and fresh in a holding tank instead of a carafe.
Cons: Only dispenses one cup at a time.

If you are like me you like your coffee fresh and hot, this coffee maker is sure to be a winner on your countertop. We have had ours for 2 years now and I would not think of getting a different brand or type coffee maker. I had been at a friends ...

Pros: Looks good, no pot.
Cons: Poorly engineered, cheap materials, bad design, awful coffee.

This is the most poorly engineered appliance I have ever owned. First of all, the lid doesn't fit tightly, so the heat escapes and the coffee doesn't stay warm. The container used to measure the water has measurements on the outside and the inside, but ...

Pros: Easy to use, easy to clean, reasonably priced, no mess pouring, auto shut off
Cons: May be difficult to fill a travel mug, depending on size of the mug.

I absolutely love this coffee maker! So much so, that I have bought many to give as gifts. The "bucket" is easy to clean and easy to fill, as is the filter basket. The water resorvior is wide, so no spills when adding the water. The coffee maker ...

Pros: no caraffe,no burnt bitter coffee,cleanup is a snap!
Cons: inability to fill larger cups/mugs with ease. only 2 hour hold time.

When in the market for a new coffee maker my husband and i already knew we didn't want a glass caraffe, due to having 4 other coffee makers prior with the same make up of the glass caraffe, which more often than not if left over a certain amount of time ...

Pros: Nothing is easier to pour coffee! Doesn't burn coffee. Auto shut off.
Cons: size, clock is really small, larger cups are more of a challenge.

This is a really neat idea. I'll try not to repeat anything. This coffee maker takes up quite a bit of space, especially when you bring it from under the counter for use. So if you have very little counter space. . . I wouldn't recommend it. I ...

Pros: Design, build quality, ease of use, coffee quality, durability, reliability.
Cons: The display could be a little easier to read.

We got one of this as a Christmas gift and it has worked flawlessly for six months. It is superior in every way to any drip carafe style coffee maker. Just a few of it's advantages: It never boils over. The coffee never burns, no matter how often you ...

Pros: Automatic shut on and off feature, press and serve
Cons: Leaky, bulky

The Hamilton Beach Brewstation is intriguing, but not without flaws. Best Qualities: Programmable to turn on automatically at any time of the day. Push and serve feature that allows you to simply put your cup up to a lever, push your cup into it and ...

Pros: Nice while it lasted.
Cons: Only lasted a year with daily use.

I love coffee. Years ago, I was advised to switch to decaf after the connection between caffeine and my anxiety was discovered. This necessitated having two coffeemakers in the house because my husband will not drink decaf and it's all I drink now. I ...

Pros: No glass carafe. Coffee tastes great!
Cons: Tall travel cups don't fit this model.

We drink a lot of coffee and when it starts tasting bad, I replace the coffee maker. I make a full pot every night and set it for early morning. It usually stays on the full time and shuts off automatically. I purchased the BrewStation 47224 after ...

Pros: easy dispenser, easy cleanup, well worth the money
Cons: none that I can think of.

The Hamilton Beach brew station coffee maker has been the best so far. My husband and I were torn between this coffee maker or a Krups brand. We liked the simplicity of this one much better. It is very easy to clean with out any hassell. Never makes a ...
