Love it!!

Date:May 20, 2013
"I bought my husband one of these when Canadian Tire put them on sale back in 2008. He loved it! It just died this month(not even, just the basket broke, the element still works!) and luckily, Canadian Tire had them on sale again. The new updates are awesome. We love the extra bold feature that makes your coffee a little stronger, and the fact that you can program it to stay warm for up to 4 hours! All in all a great item!"

Wouldn't have anything else.

Date:April 26, 2013
"I live in a remote area and when my original BrewStation failed after many years of faithful service, I was without a brewer until I was somewhere where I could get another BrewStation. Features: after 2 hours, the heater shuts off so that coffee doesn't get over-cooked and concentrated. It also greatly extends the life of the unit. The coffee stays fresh and a cup can be given a shot in the microwave all day and is still good coffee. Love not having a carafe to spill, break, or burn. I've had the present unit for 10 years and its as good as new."

Great for the First 1 1/2 Years But.....

Date:April 11, 2013
"I was very happy with this coffee machine but am sad to say that after a year and a half of trouble-free use, it is now leaking everywhere. I had read this about the machine before I bought it but balanced that off all the positive reviews.
I clean it regularly but to no avail. Leaking started slowly but has now rendered the machine useless.
Sad, as it makes decent coffee and excellent iced coffee, yet I expect a coffee machine to last longer than this.

Not worth it

Date:March 29, 2013
"I bought one of these last year, it's a pain in the bum to maintain. The coffee is not too warm on start, but it will heat up quick, however, cleaning is a pain, and now it does not pour at all. I tried to clean it and ended up breaking it... not worth the effort."

Excellent Choice

Date:March 4, 2013
"First review I have ever written and thought I would write one because I found the other reviews helpful. Ok here is the lowdown on this coffee maker. I have had it for about 2-months now and I found it does take some getting used to. Here is my specific feedback:
Coffee quality is good and no burnt taste that you get from carafes just like they say. The reservoir is easier to fill that a regular coffee maker, just open it up and let the water run while you grind your coffee. The cord is very short and I had to re position it as a result. There is a fair amount of condensation like some of the other reviewers mentioned, although I just shake it off in the sink and would consider a minor inconvenience. The reservoir is easy and fast to clean, quick rinse and you are done. The coffee maker can move if you push hard or coffee levels are low, however if you have it up against a wall or are gentle with it, no issue there. You can get coffee very easily while it is brewing and it doesn't drip like some coffee makers do when you do that. Heads up, we couldn't fit the extra tall Starbucks travel mug in there although we just filled up our mug a few times and poured it in. All in all, would give it a 8.5 out of 10.
Cheers and hope this helps."

5 yr Warranty for this Brewstation

Date:February 26, 2013
"I purchased this a month ago and though the idea of no carafe is fabulous, the button for dispensing the coffee is not very good, your cup slides off it and as the machine gets light with less coffee in the tank, you have to hold the machine so it doesn't tip over and the clock was all slanted in the display. I had looked at a similiar one at Zellers and the dispencing system was alot nicer and had rubber grips on the button. I should of bought the one at zellers first but wasn't sure about warranty where the store is closing. I since then returned the one to CT. I contacted Hamilton Beach and they told me that as of 2010, all their products carry a 5 yr warranty. I have bought the Brewstation Summit from Zellers, It works Great. I wouldn't suggest buying the Brewstaion on Special."

Best coffee maker ever!

Date:February 21, 2013
"I did a lot of research on coffee makers and read a lot of reviews. This is the one I decided to go with to replace our $20 one. The coffee tastes great and the no carafe system is amazing. I will never go back to carafes. Don't hesitate to get this as you will not be disappointed. I got it on sale at Christmas time and the value for the price is great! Do yourself a favor and get it!"

Avoid

Date:February 14, 2013
"Not hot enough, small water reservoir (less coffee than their other 12 cup). Stopped working all together within 5 months. Warranty but you have to pay all shipping back and forth. Liked our old one but this one was junk from the start"

Best Coffee

Date:January 24, 2013
"We needed to replace our Proctor coffee maker. It wouldn't work any longer. Saw the Hamilton Beach on sale and based on reviews and sale price brought it home. The wife loved it and although I'm not much of a coffee drinker this one brews consistently good coffee. No carafe and no burnt taste. Would highly recommend buying this one."

Great machine

Date:January 21, 2013
"Ok, so my wife and I were looking for a replacement coffee machine, we read all the reviews both positive and negative where this machine is concerned and, we figured for 40.00, why not give it a try. We have had NO problems with it at all, it brews nicely, takes up the same amount of space a coffee maker with a carafe would and, it keeps your coffee hot a good long time. Many have complained about the machine moving when they use their cup to depress the lever that allows the coffee to flow. To a certain extent, the maker does move, we solved that problem simply by placing the back of the machine against the wall.We really enjoy this product and we would definately recommend it to our family and friends."

Luke warm coffee

Date:December 20, 2012
"The idea is great, but the brewer only delivers luke warm coffee. Even after 1/2 hour the coffee in the brewer is still barely warm.
I'm not sure if it is defective or just poor quality, I will be returning for refund and try something else.

A coffee addict's Dream Machine

Date:December 15, 2012
"As an admitted coffee addict, I am sitting here Saturday 5:30 am enjoying my very first cup from this dream machine. it only takes 1 cup to be able to tell that it was a very wise purchase. So I am pleased to recommend this lovely wake me up aid to anybody.
P.S. I must take a moment of silence to honour the passing of my Hamilton Beach Stay or Go Maker, You just could not keep up with the demand but you did serve me well for years. You're New and sorry to say Improved sibling is going to get me through the day from now on.
