12-Cup BrewStation-Style Coffee Maker – Internal Heater Keeps Coffee Hot & Fresh – No Carafe, Single-Hand Dispensing for Home & Office

Best coffee maker I've owned, if course not expert though. I've owned a few regular drip machines with the carafe and one keurig, the basic model that you can get at Walmart for $59. I loved that the keurig made my. Coffee right then and there when I wanted, AFTER it healed up and I refilled the water if it needed it. And I couldn't really. Choose the strength of the coffee without sacrificing. Size of my cup. I'm sire other models are different but I don't want to spend over $50 on a coffee maker so that was pushing it plus the pods are Expensive compared to bying it ground by the pound I absolutely love this machine though. Yes, there's a few minor annoyance, like any machine. Really it's just that I have the thing under my counter so to lift the lid all the way to clean or fill it up I have to pull it out from under. That doesn't really bother me at all though. That's really it for coma on it in my opinion though. It looks stylish. I love that the water tank comes out to fill, I love that the coffee reservoir has a basket. Handle to make it easier. To clean, I love how simple it is to work and program. I love that my coffee is waiting for me in the morning, no matter what. It comes out cooler than the keurig did but it's the perfect tempature in my opinion. I little hot at first but that's good. I read some reviews complaining about filling thick or large mugs? I haven't had am issues and I have some ridiculous mugs, some of which are LARGE..... And thick.. Haha So I don't think you have to worry. The drip trays a little small, but it does its job. It's also really awesome that there's an iced. Coffee feature. I worked at a Dublin donuts in high school so I know it's not made the Dr way and K love that this machine is able to make iced coffee. It really is so so. Please bjt stylish, and it does its job perfectly. Overall its the best machine I've ever owned or have seem put of friends and familys. I highly recommend!

I love this coffee maker. I had a much older (5+ years) Hamilton Beach model of this style but without the program, brew settings, etc. which still worked just fine when I bought this one. The water reservoir in that one was accessible only from the top, behind the basket. I saw this one in Target but decided not to buy it until I read reviews. The Amazon price was the same as Target but the reviews helped me make my decision easy. I love that the reservoir can be detached. The numbers on it are easy to see in case you forget how much water you poured in. There are also numbers on the other side so you can see how much brewed coffee is left. The program options are awesome - bold, regular, and 1-4 cup settings. I love that you can also brew iced coffee, which turns out perfectly without tasting diluted. That was actually the main thing that attracted my eye to this model. The start time can also be programmed as can the "keep warm" time (1-4 hrs). I was already a fan of the dispensing mechanism from years of using my older model. Compared to a separate carafe, this way just makes sense for keeping the coffee hot without that burned taste you get from the pot sitting on the burner too long. The cons: it's somewhat cheaply made. The reservoir doesn't have a great fit against the main body of the system. There is a gap between them that feels like it could be better. The lid also has room for improvement of fit. The drip tray doesn't fit in as snugly as my older model's. When I moved the unit back and forth across the counter the tray would sometimes come off easily. I bent the plastic "latch" a little so it would hug the notch a bit better so it's not really a big problem. It would be a better design if the tray snapped into the main body of the machine. Note: the drip tray is in two pieces and both can be removed for easy cleaning. The last con is that it tends to be noisier than my older model - sort of a hissing noise. It doesn't bother me but it is noticeable. Even with the cons I'd still recommend it.
