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 ...

Pros: No carafe to clean or replace; no messes or spills
Cons: Two hour shut off

My coffee pot stays on all evening after work, all day on the weekends and anytime in between. I am the only coffee drinker in my family, but with the amount of use I put a coffee pot through, I am extremely rough on them. After going through at ...

Pros: Love the timer to brew coffee each morning.
Cons: No light in the clock area for easy reading.

I have the 47214, not 24. But they are the same as far as perks go. The most amazing coffeemaker that also causes quite a stir, not in the cup, but with friends who drop by for a coffee. They love the take a cup & get your own coffee. No pot to ...

Pros: No breakable carafe, brewed good-tasting coffee.
Cons: Takes up a lot of space, ANT MAGNET!

In spite of its bulk and the fact that it takes up more space on the kitchen counter than a conventional coffee maker, we loved the Brew Station at first because of the ease of use, no glass carafe to contend with, and it brewed excellent coffee. Then I ...

Pros: Simple to use, works as advertised and brews a great tasting cup of coffee.
Cons: Not as fast as Bunn, but better coffee! Coffee pours slower the last few cups.

We bought this coffee maker after years of trying to find the perfect home brewing system I work at home and my wife likes to have coffee every morning when she gets out of bed. We get a new coffee maker every year or 2 and have not found any that come ...

Pros: Inexpensive. Nicely engineered. Good coffee. Plain Jane coffee maker without lots of gadgets.
Cons: Wasn't free.

Over my 40 plus years of drinking coffee, I have owned many coffee makers. My last coffee maker was a horribly expensive Braun with all the bells and whistles. It lived less than 6 months before the electronics died and though it was under warranty the ...

Pros: Great coffee very fast. Excess coffee does not cook down to paint remover.
Cons: Double check coffee tank before filling carefully for leaks.

This was a replacement for three(3) prior electric coffee makers in the past 1 l/2 years. The deciding factor to purchase this model was the fact that here was no hot plate. We have used this coffee maker for about six (6) months and so far it is ...

Pros: Makes Great coffee, easy to clean, unique! Auto shut off.
Cons: Coffee doesn't stay hot enough for me. Takes up a lot of space.

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 ...

Pros: Looks Great, I like the press to pour feature.
Cons: Too high, plastic coffee pot stains, coffee burns, filter basket messy

We just replaced our B&D Spacemaker coffee maker after it finally gave out after 10yrs of great service. I planned on buying a stainless carafe type (without heating plate)to keep the coffee fresh and hot longer. When I saw the Hamilton Beach Brew ...

Pros: No drippy carafe. Dispenses coffee very well. Cool looking.
Cons: Electrical bugs. Staining tank. Weaker coffee than premium drip coffee makers.

SUMMARY: The Brew Station might be worth a try, especially if you are saddled with a coffee maker with a drippy carafe. But the Brew Station has some problems that makes it less than a total success. ELECTRICAL BUGS: The first one we had worked for 5 ...

Pros: No glass coffee pot to clean! Very easy to clean and work!
Cons: Bad tasting coffee!!!

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble but I have read all the great reviews on the great tasting coffee this machine produces but I have had no such luck with mine...This was given to us as a Christmas gift. I always wanted one and so I quickly brewed my ...

Pros: Great idea.
Cons: Leaks (now a flood) all over the counter while brewing.

We are returning this unit for refund after using it for 2 months. The unit started to leak out the spout after pouring a cup of coffee. It would drip for a while. This small leak turned in to a flood when brewing. Although the gasket is fine, and there are no debris under the flapper, it no longer seals. Evidently it warps with the heat after a while. I saw some complaints about this last year, but hoped they had fixed some early bugs. Guess not. Too bad, a neat concept.

Pros: Like the brewing station style
Cons: After 6 months of use it seems to have problems completing the cycle.

Have had problems with it not completing the cycle, so we are having to push the button up to 5 times to complete the cycle. Hamilton Beach has replaced it once and I am in the process of them replacing it again.
It only seems to work correctly about 6 months.

Pros: No waiting for it to get done brewing to get a cup of coffee
Cons: Very poor construction, Keeps breaking

After I got this coffee maker my friend got one because he liked the no pot idea. His broke after the 1st week. The on/off button stopped working and he couldn't turn it on. His 2nd one lasted longer... 2 weeks, before he gave up and returned it. Mine lasted a month, probably because he used his everyday and I only used it once every 3 days. Mainly because 1 pot lasts me that long. (I reheat in the microwave) I love this pot but not if the on/off button keeps breaking.

Pros: Design, convenience, temperature control, ease of use.
Cons: I'm thinking. Have to get back with you on this one.

I received the Hamilton Beach Brew Station for Christmas and absolutely love it. I have had no problems at all and I make at least 2 pots of coffee a day, and if we have company, several more pots. There is never any "burnt" coffee taste, and the temperature is always perfect. It looks nice and neat on the counter, and is so easy to use. I honestly can't think of anything negative about this coffee maker. If I had to really get nit picky, I suppose I could say I wish I could program the length of time it would stay on instead of automatically shutting off after two hours, but that would be the only negative thing I could say about it.
