Best coffee ever
That's the bottom line, this coffee pot makes better coffee than any drip coffee maker I have ever owned. The design with a separate reservoir to carry to the sink and fill makes it easy, coffee is hot, and stays fresh tasting for the full 4 hour 'keep warm' period. Buy it, you will not regret it.

    Do not buy this coffee pot
    I only gave this one because you have to give it a star. After about two months this coffee pot stopped working. We cannot get the coffee to come out of the pot because the button you have to push malfunctioned. It came with a broken part. We fixed the part and started to use it. It hasn't worked very well at all.

    Great coffee maker
    This is my third of this coffee maker over several years. It makes the best tasting coffee. After about 3 years, with the last two, the mechanism that dispenses coffee quits working. Still makes great coffee though. Just a hassle to get it to the cup.

    Hamilton Beach Brew Station
    Really easy to use and all parts are removable. Has a timer for start time and keep warm timer. Coffee still tastes fresh 4 hours after brewing, not piping hot but hot enough for me.Only downside is that the 12 cups it shows is more like 4 or 5 of my big cups. Seems like it holds less coffee than other 12 cup coffeemakers.

    Thumbs Up!
    I really love this coffee maker! But it's very drippy when emptying the used grinds, even the day after. I have to slide my garbage can over to the machine and do a 1..2..3! Drip, drip, go now kind of thing. But still brews amazing coffee so I can deal with it.

    Busy, stressed-out coworkers love it
    I bought this for my work team as a holiday present. I'm not a coffee drinker myself but it's been used almost non-stop for the past two weeks, so I guess it's great!

    The dispensing mechanism is made of plastic and bends over time ( about 6 months) rendering it useless. This is my second time around after a 5 or 6 year break. This time the coffee boils! I think there is a problem here. The quality is just not there though the idea is great.

    Do not purchase the Hamilton Beach BrewStation
    I purchased The Hamilton Beach BrewStation 12 Cup coffee maker and at first, I loved it! I liked it so much I purchased one for my daughter as a Christmas gift. She noticed her Hamilton Beach BrewStation was leaking coffee all over her kitchen counter within a few days of use. So, she returned it and exchanged it for another Hamilton Beach BrewStation --That one started to leak as well, also within a few days of ownership. She returned it to Walmart and purchased the Hamilton Beach 49976 FlexBrew Black Hospitality Single-Serve and 12-Cup Carafe, Coffee Maker. She said that coffee maker was perfect. Anyway -- A few weeks later my Hamilton Beach BrewStation 12 Cup also started to leak coffee all over my countertops. I cleaned the coffee pot as instructed in the owner's manual and I checked everything out and still the next morning I had coffee underneath the coffee pot and all over my countertop. So I returned my coffee maker and purchased another Hamilton Beach BrewStation. To my dismay, the new one also leaked! This will be a total of 4 Hamilton Beach BrewStation 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Makers that has leaked all over my kitchen counters and my daughter's kitchen counters. When I tried to return this one and be done with this coffee maker once and for all Walmart refused to refund me my money. Do NOT buy the Hamilton Beach BrewStation!!!!!!! 4 different machines leaked and that is more than enough proof of the poor quality of this Coffee Maker. Because Walmart will not refund my money as I no longer have my receipt. I will have to toss this coffee maker in the trash and lose $57.00 of my hard-earned Money -- Note---- to Walmart. If you have products that are continuously being returned due to defects and poor craftsmanship -- please remove these products from your shelves! This is a disservice to your customers who expect quality products from your store.

    Works Fast and Silent
    It took me 3 times to get the coffee taste I wanted. The first 2 times it was a bit watery but turns out I wasn't putting enough coffee. If you like bold coffee taste, you have to put more than the recommendation. But otherwise, it was pretty fast and there was almost no noise.

    Sooooo happy
    We shopped until we found a coffee “pot” that had everything we were looking for...removable water reservoir, push button dispenser, timer ... this is it!!! We love it and it looks great on our new coffee bar!

    HB Brew Station- nice concept-poor design
    In my opinion, the power cord is too short for the design. You have to pull the whole machine away from the wall at least 10-12 in. to get to the water dispenser, which pulls out from the back of the machine. (See photos below-which wouldn't rotate 90 degrees on this site for some reason). If the water dispenser just came out the side of the machine, it would be a much better design. Unless you have the capability (room) to have the machine in a location with nothing behind it-so you can access the back of the machine without having to move it out from a back splash or out from under a cupboard etc., you need an extension cord- & few people have that kind of set up. Otherwise, I like the concept of the dispenser-style machine-rather than a canister on a warming plate & I love the addition of the syrup dispenser on the side!!! I haven't had it long enough to comment on its durability. So I recommend it but WITH RESERVATIONS.

    Good Value
    After reading some of the reviews, I wasn't going to purchase this coffee maker. However, I am glad I did. It is tall, but it would have fit under my cabinet if I didn't have it sitting on the gliding tray I purchased online for easy access. It is also wider than my last BrewStation, but that's fine too. The light is bright, but I am not going to use it in the bedroom, so that's not an issue either. It does make a noise, but it is so low and intermittent, that I hardly ever hear it. And I usually don't like the coffee from a new maker, but my coffee has been excellent. Don't miss out on a great coffee maker!

    Best most convenient coffee maker Ever
    Each brew is perfect- I use level shot glass for ever four cups- Three shot glass for twelve cups. Coffee does not get stronger or bitter after it sets. The clean up is easy - dump left over coffee- rinse- fill water reservoir to Number of cups desired- No hot plate to turn on or off- No glass pot to wash or break. Hint- you do not have to heat -zapp in micro wave- I Love this coffee maker !!!

    Great machine, great coffee...
    We bought this product because it seemed to be just what we needed to make coffee without too much effort. And it does deliver. Setup is quick and easy. Programming is simple. Coffee and water setup could not be simpler. The no carafe is an okay idea. The amount of coffee to water ratio may need to be adjusted depending on your taste but that is basic coffee 101 as each machine brews a little differently. I do agree the timer light is too bright. A little black electrical tape took care of that quickly. And you do have to be careful not to hold your cup too firmly against the machine while dispensing coffee as you may push the machine across your counter. But all things considered it is a good coffee maker. Regarding durability, we'll have to see as we use this "BrewStation" over the next few months.

    Bright Light, Noise
    The light on the front of the machine is too bright. One can hear the simmering during the keep warm cycle (moderately loud). The heating plate was buckled near one of the screws holding it on. We like the idea of the brew station and it performs as expected.

    NO CARAFE TO BREAK!
    I have a had a "no carafe" Hamilton Beach coffee maker for almost ten years. And then it died! ( I'm a 12 cup, plus, everyday coffee drinker.) I was devastated when I thought they did not make them anymore... This one is even better than my old one. Has several more features, plus iced coffee (cool)!!!! Easy to program and to see the controls right on the front at eye level. Especially like the silver and black finish. Very aesthetic! Love the fact that I can go ahead set up coffee to perk for the next day and not have to dump the coffee reservoir first. Will have to change the shelf height where my coffee maker sits as the new one is a bit higher than the old one (About 1/2 inch!) which interferes in removing the reservoir and filter basket! Otherwise, it is super and a great deal at the price!
