Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach 48274 Brew Station 6-Cup Coffeemaker, Black

Customer Review: Perfect for me...
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this coffee maker because I got tired of making single cups in my Senseo. This is a PERFECT size for me...3 full coffee mugs - the size I use. LOVE the fact I can use a "program" brew feature.
Maybe I was one of the "lucky" ones...but so far no problems. BUT, just want to address some of the prior complaints.

1) "Leaking"....none for me...just at the end when you flip the lid open to clean out the grounds, etc...simple condensation from the lid...just wipe it up.

2) "Not hot"....coffee was PRETTY darn hot....I CAN say, though, as time goes by, the 2nd and 3rd cup were "hot", just not SUPER hot as the first cup...I programmed mine to be ready EXACTLY when I get up....NOT 30 mins earlier,etc. The process of brewing is REALLY fast, so IF you can't get the time that close, just have it ready the nite before....don't use the "auto brew" feature....just turn it on "manually" and it's done basically in 4-5 mins.

3) "Weak"....I used one "coffee scoop"...which is basically a tablespoon/cup...strong enough...depending on taste...maybe use a "columbian" coffee....the REAL stuff....that'll put hair on your chest!! LOL Or, a French Roast....JMO

4) "Filter size"...well, I used what I had on hand...the larger sized ones. I made sure the "water arm" was placed properly to dispense the hot water into the middle of the coffee area...no problems. BUT....I can say....using the "taller" filters (for the 12 cup makers) is DEFINITELY a far better practice...I noticed the grounds traveled "up" the filter after I opened the lid when done brewing....using a "shorter" filter (even though "look wise" they are a better "fit") it would DEFINITELY cause the coffee to overflow out the filter. Just make sure when you close the lid with the "taller" filters - a) the water "arm" is centered over the grounds in the filter - b) when you close the lid, be sure the "excess" filter material is "fitted" around the inside of the filter basket...it WILL obviously "crinkle" on the top when you close the lid since it's taller.

Seems like a lot of work...but, just common sense stuff...for the money, and compact size, you can't go wrong !!

January 31, 2011

Have NEVER done this...but when I bought this, there were quite a few "1 star" posts. I ended up thinking "I must be one of the lucky people who always get things that work".
AND...yessss, I must have too much time on my hands to come back and update my original post....LOL

1) No offense to anyone....BUT...I didn't bother to read the "directions"....coffee makers are kinda "self explanatory"....or simple enough to figure out...NOT rocket science, IMO. AND...there's "pictures" on the lid with step by step directions if you forget what to do.....

2) I've been using 1/3 cup coffee - Folgers - STILL the filters that fit my 12 cup maker...STILL just "fold" the excess paper over the edge of the filter basket.....STILL MAKE SURE THE WATER ARM IS MOVED ALL THE WAY OVER THE FILTER BASKET - as far as it will go!!!!! Add xtra coffee if it's "too weak" for you!!
****Yes...the lid stays sligltly "open" does NOT go all the way down. One thing wrong...but I said "deal with it".
Coffee is HOT!! Unless you're adding enough milk/half-n-half to make something like a "latte"...then, it WILL be cool. I get THREE 10 oz. mugs of coffee out of this machine....YES, I went and measured!! LOL

3) Fill ONLY up to line inside the well for the water....they put them there for a REASON!!! AND...make sure the water goes INTO the well...DO NOT pour it all over the inside....there IS an "opening" for the dispenser device....which can be seen....and water WILL leak out if you pour it all over the place.

4) Be sure the coffee "well" is put TOTALLY back into the maker...NOT tipped...FLAT with the bottom of the space where it goes.

5) AGAIN...when you flip the lid "up" it WILL have water droplets....the water WILL leak out the back as it flows off the lid....it's called "condensation"....not much to do but to WIPE IT UP!!!

6) Coffee maker IS light weight...coffee maker WILL move as you push the dispenser button to get coffee into your cup ....NOPE, it's NOT a "Krups" or "Cuisinart"...it doesn't imply it is.

Now I KNOW I have too much time on my hands this morning...but, after going thru all this, I'm NOT gonna delete my post now....LOL
