Hamilton Beach 47454 BrewStation Deluxe 12-Cup Coffeemaker Review

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 highly recommend it!

*UPDATE*
So, I've been using this coffee maker for a few weeks now and everything is still great! But, I wanted to throw a couple of things out there for anyone comtemplating their purchase.My only real complaint is that there's no audible signal to let you know that the coffee's done or that the 4 hour warming period is over. I know it's not a necesity, but my Mr. Coffee had this feature and I really liked it. Guess I'm just spoiled! Also, here's a tip. The instructions say that using a paper filter along with the gold filter is optional. However, I've found that if you don't use a paper filter, any very fine or powdery grounds will get through and end up in your mug.This happened the first couple of times I used it, but a paper filter easily solved the problem. If you're thinking about buying this unit, just do it! I love mine!

Product Description:
Called the BrewStation because there is no "pot" involved, this 12-cup coffeemaker features a thermal-lined insulated coffee tank that maintains the brew temperature and keeps coffee hot and fresh inside until it's ready to be served. Simply depress the trigger with a mug for one-hand dispensing--no carafe means no pouring, no spills, and no hotplate that can sometimes scorch coffee or make it bitter. With simple push-button convenience, the machine offers four brew cycles, which include normal, flavor plus, 1 to 4 cups, and decaf. For added convenience, the machine can be programmed for "wake-up" coffee, and its adjustable auto shutoff provides peace of mind. In addition, mid-brew dispensing makes the appliance handy for anybody in a hurry. Other highlights include a large digital clock/timer with blue backlighting, indicators for water filter cleaning and replacement, easy-to-view liquid level with measurement markings, and a swivel base. A permanent Gold Tone filter and water filters are also included. Housed in sleek black plastic with stainless-steel accents, the coffeemaker measures 14-1/2 by 8-3/4 by 10-3/4 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Cold Drip Coffee and Tea Maker, 8-Cup Review

My brother gave me this as a Christmas present and I've had it for over a year.It makes great coffee and looks wonderful on my kitchen countertop.Unfortunately, I banged one of the glass parts and cracked it last week.It still works, but I'm looking for a replacement piece before the crack spreads too much.

Avoid this if you need something that isn't easy to break, but otherwise it's really cool!

Update: I called the company that made this coffee maker today.They are sending a replacement part via priority mail.Hence the 5 stars.Great coffee, great look, great customer service.

Product Description:
This coffee maker is gorgeous and would make a lovely addition to your kitchen. Ice and water are placed in the top jar, and by regulating the dripping water through the valve in the center, coffee is steeped and ends up in the carafe at the bottom of the tower. Through a unique 3 hour process using pure ice water, ice drip coffee produces a unique flavor not found in regular brewed coffee. It's easy to use. Just put the water and coffee grounds into the brewer and you are ready to go. A permanent ceramic filter mechanism is included and is available in a brown stain finish. This coffee maker holds 32 oz. By slowly brewing your coffee with ice water, the harsher oils in your ground coffee are not brought out. The final brew is a lot mellower than a regular brew machine.

Hourglass Cold Brew Coffee Maker System Review

If you already love the smooth taste of cold brewed coffee, you will never go back to brewing coffee after using this machine.For too long, I made cold brewed coffee by putting grounds and water in a big jar and then straining it through coffee filters.I ended up with as much coffee on the kitchen counter as I did in my cup.The hourglass cold brew system is a delight.It's made from BPA free plastic and is simple and clean to use.All you do is measure the grounds and water into one of the brew chambers and then let it sit on your counter for 12 hours.When done, you simply turn it over and the grounds stay in the brew chamber and the coffee runs into the second brew chamber.Done!No mess!The directions say you can re-use the grounds if you put more water in right away.I've done this every time and the second batch tastes just as good as the first.All in all, I think by using the grounds twice, the system becomes quite economical.I read the reviews of the other systems and decided to spring for the Hourglass because even though it is more expensive, it seems to have addressed the issues that other reviewers complained about (no lid on the fridge container, plastic, etc.)This machine is worth every penny.See [...].
