Best Carafe-less Coffee Maker around.
on October 6, 2012
Posted by: SupremeBamaFan
I am a long-term Brewstation alumni, owning 3 before this one. They were and still are the best carafe-less coffee maker on the market and are very competitive in price.
Coffee Quality: Brewstation brew at the right temperature, the Bold setting allows plenty of contact with the beans, the hot plate doesn't burn the coffee when warming, and the coffee tastes good for hours.
New Feature: Hamilton Beach could never build a water container that would not spill when transferring water from the sink to the pot, the new water chamber is a welcome feature. The Bold setting definitely changes the flavor of the coffee to a bolder taste, though regular is fine also.
Competition: Cuisinart is the only real competition for Brewstations, but their reviews are bad and they are 2x as expensive. I would love Hamilton Beach to build these as metal, substantial appliances ... I'd buy that, but this is a no brain purchase if you wan't 12 cups of coffee and no glass.
The sole weakness: I have now replaced 3 Brewstations for an upgrade. Each time the Brewstation was still working as a machine, but failed due to a $.50 piece in the coffee chamber (rubber gasket and/or filter screen). You cannot repair these things (they are permanent), so leaks or clogged screen are terminal. My Brewstations last 3 years or so.
Enjoy, you can't go wrong.
What's great about it: Price, No Carafe, New Fill Chamber
What's not so great: The filter screen
I would recommend this to a friend!
