Exactly what I wanted...so glad I waited!
I just got this coffee maker today, after months of reading, looking around, and pondering whether ot not it was going to be worth the money. I've always loved the look of it, especially the cool blue glowing display, but would it work as great as it looks? Well, as I sit here enjoying my first cup of perfect hazlenut coffee, I can say that so far, it's wonderful!
Getting it all set up was very easy, but a bit time consuming, since you have to let it cycle through about 3 or 4 times total to clean and rinse, but well worth it! Once cleaned, I decided to give it a try and brewed a 4 cup pot of coffee. When it was done, I dispensed it into my mug with no messy dripping and am enjoying the first half of it now. I will let the other half sit to see if it will taste just as good at the end of the 4 hrs. The coffee I'm drinking now is great. No bitterness, not too strong or too bland, and the perfect temperature.
Overall, I think this is a great machine and would...
More Than I Expected!
It's really totally out of character for me to write a review! It may just be because I'm still wired from my first two cups this morning from this wonderful convenience - I followed EVERY direction (also out of character!), right down to the 3/4 scoop of coffee per cup of water - yikes!
Seriously, yes I've only used it one day - but so far it's a "10" and here's why!
10. Each and every part is in place - snug and secure.
09. Parts are easy to remove and re-assemble.
08. Display is fantastic - no squinting or bifocals required!
07. Hot, hot, hot - even after 2 hours; flavorful, no burned taste!
06. Programming and set up is very user-friendly.
05. Hot Coffee/Tea; Iced Coffee/Tea! Two appliances for the cost of one!
04. No drips from dispenser or underneath so far.
03. Tank doesn't spill over when pouring.
02. Great to be able to use either regular-sized or...
So far, so good!!
I was an owner of the original brewstation and its many faults (i.e. electrical, badly lit clock, turning on "magically" without my help. Well, I just bought the brewstation deluxe and Hamilton Beach must have listened to all the complaints about the original brewstation!It seems to be so much better than the original. It has sleeker look and is taller (for taller mugs) The clock just "glows!" It's great! It even has different brewing options, which is cool. It has an ice tea feature too! It also has a filter for a better tasting brew and a goldtone filter which is all standard(Just shake, open and pour!) I am crossing my fingers that nothing goes wrong, because I really like this newer version with all the kinks worked out of it. I hope everyone else has the same great results with it!
