The Hamilton Beach BrewStation Deluxe 47454 is a bit of an odd duck among coffee makers. It doesn't drip brewed coffee into a pot; rather, it holds a maximum of 12 cups so they can be dispensed one at a time on demand. A reviewer at SingleServeCoffee.com reviews it, although he notes the Hamilton Beach Brew Station 47454 isn't technically a single-serve because it brews multiple cups at a time. The advantage is that coffee doesn't sit on a hot plate. The drawback, say some owner reviews, is that the water can take on a weird taste as it sits waiting in the reservoir. Others complain that the machine breaks or leaks after a few month and can be difficult to clean.

5. CoffeeGeek.com

The various models of BrewStation are all lumped together here, and as of July 2009, only Lainie Smith's user review specifies a BrewStation Deluxe. She says a gasket eroded twice and while customer service was helpful, she "probably would not buy this machine again."
