Customer Ratings & Reviews

I drink a pot every morning & usually don't care much for coffeemakers that continue heating after brewing, but when my old Cuisinart Grind & Brew (w/thermos) died recently, I picked up a Hamilton Beach Brew Station. I wasn't using the Grind & Brew blade grinder feature anymore, as I purchased a burr grinder a few years ago, but I loved the thermos. Have had the Brew Station for over a month & absolutely no complaints. Very simple design & easy cleanup. I have it programmed to keep warm for 2 hours & have not had a bitter cup - no worries about breaking decanters either! I haven't used the auto-brew cycle because I like freshly ground beans each morning.

Purchased to replace older model which we loved. However, the "dispenser hole" is set to far back so 2 out of 3 times the coffee dribbles down either the back (even when the cup is held firmly against the back wall) or the side of the cup. poor design ( possibly because clock is on top instead of to the side) makes it messy to use. Also, no matter how you do the settings the coffee is only lukewarm.

In our home we make coffee multiple times a day and this maker has really been worth purchasing. The warming timer is a great feature allowing you to brew more coffee than you are planning on having and then within that timeframe you can refill to your hearts content. Worth every penny.

This was a replacement for a prior Brewstation. Have had this one about a month and we are very satisfied. Several improvements over the previous model. Upgraded controls with a bold brew setting, flexible warming timer and separate water container that requires no pouring--always potentially a mess. Our old one had what a number of reviewers experienced--after a fairly short time it leaked. Haven't had this one long enough to determine yet, but the design appears different enough that it may also have been corrected. Overall, extremely satisfied at this point.

I love that there is no coffee pot. Great product!

Being the only coffe drinker (and sometimes have guests over) I bought thinking i will be able to make a 1 cup of coffee daily using the option 1-4 cups button. I thought I could choose 1 or 2 or 4 cups of coffee. They should just call it Minimum 4 cups coffee. The build quality is not the greatest but the price you cant ask for more and it was too big for my kitchen counter. So I returned it.

Great for serving fresh hot coffee all week long...

We wanted a coffee maker that would make really hot coffee and keep it hot, this fits the bill.

We bought this coffee maker to replace one with a carafe. Because we wear out the maker before the carafe. You have to remove the top portion to fill the reservoir then place the dispenser and filter part on top. Everything fits fine, but it's just more awkward than raising the lid and filling the reservoir.

Great machine! My only gripe is the drip that sometimes occurs even after you've served yourself

The coffee is good but it's too much trouble to make it. This coffee maker needs lots of room above it to open the lid, lift out the water container and then put it back in. The filter basket is dripping wet from the last brew, so when you take it out to refill it, there's water dripping off the basket. Making coffee is an operation. While carrying the thing, your dripping everywhere you go. I thought, maybe I'm too critical, give it a chance, then we had several friends over for New Years and they where all amazed at all trouble I had to go through to make coffee. If I can return it I will.

This was a great buy for the money. I've been using this coffee maker for a few weeks now and everything is still great! Overall, I think this is a great machine and would highly recommend it!

Works just as advertised so far. we keep it on 4 hour warmer. coffee just as fresh tasting toward end as in beginning.

We had another Hamilton Beach for 5 years, so we thought we would stick with the same company. It QUIT after 6 weeks.
