I have had my BrewStation coffee maker for quite some time, and actually this is my second one. The first lasted almost a year before the power button quick working. We contacted Hamilton Beach, they sent us a free postage-paid return label along with a new machine. We did not even have to wait until they rec’d the old one before they would send the new one. Nice!
We have not had any problems with the new machine and we have had it for almost two years. No leaks, no fumbling with a glass pot, (which can cost more than the coffee makers they came with to replace when they break), no dribbling coffee down the side of your cup to the floor/counter.
For leak problems described in other reviews, make sure the rubber seal at the bottom of the carafe is intact and securely in place. It can become dislodged when cleaning.
I noticed what I thought was mold growing on the hinge of the lid, but it is just hard water deposits. You can lift the lid and press it back just enough to pop the plastic bar (hinge) out. Wipe the bar down on both sides with a dish cloth then easily pop it back into place. Do this during routine cleaning to eliminate the deposits from accummulating.
most recent blog entriesBecause of my 2 pot a day coffee habit and how much coffee we drink as a family, i have gotten used to the idea that i will be buying a coffee maker every 6 months. It didn’t make a difference if i paid $15 or $150 for it not one lasted more than 6 months without making me wait 20-30 minutes for a pot! When i ran across this machine i thought i would try it – that was a year and half ago. It’s fast and dependable and needs little cleaning to keep it running fast and can be placed in your dishwasher. I love this machine and now am finally shopping for a new one because the pastic handle on the water chamber broke and i was hoping to trade it for a stainless steel version to match appliances. We really run coffee makers into the ground brewing 3-4 pots a day – but this one can take it and i love not having the glass. The only negative thing i can say is that the plastic part stains on the inside after awhile but really – who cares, it makes a 5 minute pot!!!
most recent blog entriesWe gave this to my dad and his wife for christmas. They praised the delicious coffee. Easy to use, easy to clean. UNFORTUNATELY, the thing has had to be replaced four times! The brewstation just stops working. Hamilton Beach is very nice. All you have to do is clip off the plug mail it in and they will send you a brand new brewstation that will die very soon. It wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t suppose to be a nice gift to two good people who can’t afford something like this. And then every time the manufacturer sends a new brewstation, it works great, for a bit.
