Programmable 12-Cup Coffee Maker BrewStation

Q Cat: I chose this one because I had one like it before. It’s easy to use and clean

Jammer: I hate coffee that has a strong, bitter taste and which leaves an aftertaste in your mouth! The k-cups were just not doing it for me so I decided to try the Hamilton Beach 12-Cup Coffee Maker, Programmable BrewStation Dispensing Coffee Machine. I'm so glad I did. The programmable feature and built-in coffee reservoir are great. The warming feature is programmable and will keep heating the coffee in reservoir for up to several hours. When I say "warm" I really mean "hot". No tepid coffee! This machine is a keeper. I've only had it a week so I cannot vouch for its durability but it is easy to use and very easy to clean.
The coffee I use is Community Coffee and it tastes great! No more too strong, bitter, leave an aftertaste in your mouth coffee for me! Even my wife, a die-hard k-cup advocate, agrees!

Stephanie Hudson: I usually go through a coffee pot every 2 years, and like clock work, I found myself in need of a coffee pot.

This time I decided I wanted something that is easy to clean. With other coffee pots, the water reservoir gets downright disgusting. This one has removable everything making for easy cleaning.

The removable water reservoir makes it really nice and easy to add water. I have problems with balance and tremors, so pouring a carafe full of water and then emptying has been a constant mess. I have learned to adjust for it, but this makes it perfect.

I like all of the buttons and options, but the one thing I truly appreciate is the bright lights. I didn't realize this was a feature I would like, but I will never be without it again.

The coffee tasted fresh from the first cup to the last.

Downsides? Only a couple but not enough to make me lower the rating. It is more a wait a see type thing.

1. It makes noise. Almost the entire time the coffee pot is on, there is some sort of noise coming from it. Like water on the element - a constant sizzle.

2. It is a bit difficult to see how full the coffee cup is if you aren't above the level of...

Maurice Velez: So I've had this machine for over a month now and have been very happy with it. My previous machine was the basic model they sell, and owned that for about 7 years with no problem. After reading all the reviews it seem as though this brew station was not very good, that it leaked etc., but I have not had any issues with leaking. I did have some reservations going in with the purchase because of the negative reviews. But I noticed that at the back of the pot that holds the coffee there is a hole there that is for catching the moisture/condensation that builds up when brewing on the lid so when you open the lid that water drains down and into the coffee container and not all over the counter. On my old machine this always happened. Also if you put to much water to brew then the container will not be able to hold it and will spill from this area, and I believe that's where all the leaks have been reported on I think because people are putting more water than the coffee holder will hold. One area that I do dislike is that when you push with your cup to fill it the machine does not stay put, so you have to hold it with one hand, think that they could have put better rubber feet to keep...

Zakary Auclair: j'ai offert cette cafetiere en cadeau a ma mere et je n'ai eu que de bons commentaires, cette cafetiere est genial, on sauve du temps sur le nettoyage de la carafe puisqu'il ne suffit que de presser sur un bouton avec la tasse et le cafe se deverse automatiquement dans la tasse. De plus elle est facile d'utilisation et comporte des options tels que programer la cafetiere a l'avance pour vos matins presser qui permets de l'apprecier un peu plus chaque jour :). Je la recommande fortement a tous ceux qui ce cherche une cafetiere de bonne qualiter a un prix resonnable!

L. L.: I've purchased every brand out there over 30 years, I like this one better, so far. It makes great "Hot" coffee, is easy to use, also makes a fast cup of coffee or a full pot, (((quietly)), which I love!! I'd give it a "5" stars but after it's done..it's really wet when you open the lid..even hours later...to take out the grounds, or make another pot, it just stays wet and makes for a mess any time you open that lid. Otherwise it's a good value for the money..I've paid a lot more, for other coffee makers brands, and not had coffee be as hot as this one ( I like it that way) or be so quiet. Arrived fast and securely.Over all a good value for me.I never tried this brand before, it's a pleasant surprise..

Sylvie Harvey: Le café est bon, mais le petit levier pour écouler le café reste coincé facilement, ce qui entraîne un énorme dégât car le réservoir ce vide. Déjà trois fois que cela arrive en deux semaine.

Literary explorer: Good coffeemaker. I got it for the timer, to help me get up in the morning... Nothing better than the smell of coffee! Only issue is when coffee gets low in the tank, it gets too hot /burns. I just turn off the machine and reheat whatever is left in the microwave when I am ready to drink it. Overall the coffee is delicious (I use Van Houtte French Roast coffee, yum!) and it is all easy to clean.

sharkcalgary: The machine is a replacement of another coffee machine with the sample concept - they use a little bucket to hold the coffee instead of employing a coffee pot to hold the brewed coffee. The previous one lasted for 10 years so this one is a replacement.

I prefer this one over the other one in that pretty much every part can be taken out for washing.

The only down side is that the coffee machine is a bit too big, takes up too much counter space, otherwise, it will be perfect.
