Hamilton Beach Brew Station Coffee Maker 47224

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: 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: 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 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Easy to use and clean.
Cons: None

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: wouldn't but another one because if it brakes in 3 weeks no one will help
Cons: when it was working it worked very well

I got my hamilton brew station back in April 2009 the bottom plastic peace broke the coffee runs all over the place i took it back to walmart they told me to write to you people becauce they wouldn't take it back and replace it i love the coffee station but because of the fact they wouldn't take it back i don't think i will be getting another one there's no way that it shouldv'e done that so i was happy the first 3 weeks that i could use it but it shouldv'e lasted longer then 3 weeks

Pros: It makes great coffee and is very easy to maintain. Maintains perfect coffee temperature.
Cons: After 6 months it started to leak, from the carafe into the base.

I am so disappointed! We got this brew station less than a year ago, and enjoyed many great cups of coffee, at first. Now it leaks like an old abandoned row boat, and it won't stop. Thought maybe a gasket had dried out so I filled the pot with water and put it in the sink to leak at leisure! No leak! It only seems to do it when the heating element is on and a hot liquid is in the carafe! Sadly it's time to toss it and start again.

Pros: None
Cons: Awful and potentially dangerous brew

I wish I had checked this site before buying ours as I see we are not alone with our complaint of the coffee tasting like plastic. The only way to make it palatable is to soak up all the water in the crevaces before refilling it. To me it seems as though chemicals are leaching out of the plastic - this can't be healthy.

Pros: None
Cons: EVERYTHING - Terribly frustrating

This has got to be the biggest rip-off of consumer dollars yet. I bought mine at Wal Mart in March 2007, and this morning was the fifth time my coffee brewed all over my kitchen counter, and I cannot figure out what is wrong with the thing. There appears to be a dome-shaped filter over the dispenser opening to prevent this occurrence, but guess what, it doesn't work. When I purchased this coffee maker, all I was looking for was a SIMPLE way to get up in the morning with my coffee perked, but not on the counter top and dripping on the floor. I am not looking to get it replaced, because I just disposed of the box, and Wal Mart will only give me an in-store gift card. I will NEVER buy another Hamilton Beach coffee maker -- PERIOD.
