 I really want to love this coffeemaker, however it is a big disappointmentSep 03, 2010
I purchased this coffeemaker online, received it, and was excited to brew my first few cups of coffee. I have been searching high and low for a 4-6 cup maker with a 2 hour automatic shutoff. All the rest on the market are 1 hour shutoffs, so I was happy to find this model.
I like the design, had no trouble with it leaking externally and was pleased with the looks of the machine. However, once a pot was brewed, the coffeemaker continued to gurgle and sputter incessently. It was if some water was trapped in the maker and couldn't escape. I use the maker for a few days in hopes that the issue would resolve, however it never did, so I returned it and ordered another.
I got my second machine yesterday. The sputtering is gone, however this coffeemaker also continues to make a lot of noise after the brewing is over. It is different in nature than the last machine. On careful inspection, what is happening is the brewed coffee is boiling. The heating element that keeps the coffee hot must be too high, because the coffee is actually bubbling in the resevoir. This also means that there is a steady stream of steam coming out of the back of the maker after the coffee is brewed. The coffee will boil down if left to shut off after 2 hours. The steam/boiling sound does not cease until the unit is shut off, or the coffee has boiled away.
Sadly, I am going to return this one too.
Wouldn't buy again.Sep 01, 2010
I wanted a smaller pot for my office, and this was on sale. However, I find it very hard to fill without spilling water all over the table. It is also difficult to fill the cup. I sometimes have to do multiple presses with my cup on the tab to restart the filling process. And when it gets to the bottom of the reservoir, I have to tip the whole machine for the coffee to come out. I'll go back to a traditional pot design when this one wears out.
 Great CoffeemakerAug 28, 2010
I bought this coffemaker because we had the larger Hamilton Beach Brew Station and it started leaking water. Plus, my husband and I now work different "morning" shifts and we were wasting 1/2 a pot of coffee because of it. (He's on third shift & I work days) Both versions make great coffee and I love that you don't have to worry about broken or damaged glass carafes. You also don't get the burnt coffee taste and the coffee stays hot from first to last cup. The only reason I didn't give this smaller maker 5 stars is the lid seems to warp and not close tightly after just a few uses. The coffeemaker still works there's just a 1/2" gap between the front panel and front edge of the lid. That's really my only complaint about it and when this one wears out, we will replace it with another one. After using the Brew Stations for the last few years, I just can't see going back to a traditional drip maker or a percolator again.
 Not 6 coffee cups - maybe 6 teacupsAug 24, 2010
This was somewhat disappointing to me in that it does NOT brew 6 cups of coffee. If I fill to recommended line, it only brews 2 cups of coffee. If I fill to near over-flow line, I can eek out 2.5-3. Maybe the manufacturer has teacup size cups, I don't know, but it definitely does NOT brew 6 cups of coffee. This is fine for those who are the solo coffee drinker in the house, but it is not enough for 2. It does brew quickly, so when you have to make more, you won't be waiting long. I did not have the leakage problems that others reported, but I'm careful not to overfill the resevoir....and if you do, it will drain out of the opening at the back of the machine and on to your counter/floor. Overall, it brews a good cup of coffee...my only complaint is that it does not brew 6 cups of coffee as marketed.
 Reservoir leaksAug 09, 2010
The coffee maker makes really good tasting hot coffee real quick. The problem with the unit is the coffee is stored in an internal reservoir. The coffee continually leaks out of the reservoir onto the counter. This really distracts from all of the other nice features.
