Hamilton Beach BrewStation Deluxe 47454
- Dispenses by the cup
- Good-tasting coffee
- Four brew modes
- Coffee won't scorch
- Backlit clock
- Coffee has plastic taste
- Must hold cup while dispensing
- Can be difficult to clean
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 and dispenses them one at a time on demand. The advantage is that the coffee doesn't sit on a hot plate. The drawback, according to some owners, is that the water can take on a weird, plastic taste as it sits waiting in the reservoir. Others complain that the machine breaks or leaks after a few months and can be difficult to clean. The thermal carafe Zojirushi Fresh Brew (*Est. $90) costs about the same, and it doesn't require a hot plate.
