Excellent improved Brew Station

Improvement over previous model that required pouring water into integral tank. Filling removable tank makes it much easier to eliminate fill spilling. Also improved is the dispensing "stream" that had a tendency to cause problems at low flow. I haven't had the problems others apparently had from vaporized liquid draining from the top of the tank cover. I usually empty the tank within 2 hours and then rinse the tank and wipe the inside of the lid - no problems with liquid pooling on counter. The only "problem" is fewer cups than the water holder indicates. Solution is pour 1 more cup than you expect.

YAY! Love it!!

Our coffee pot went out and we were going store to store looking for one that fit what we had in a decent price range. We had our other coffee pot for so many years and I was surprised how difficult it was to locate a 12 cup reserved without a carafe that made more than a few cups. This coffee pot, especially for this price, exceeded my expectations! All the features that it can do and perform, it unbelievable and amazing!!! I am excited to play with it more! I love the 're-warm' feature, the extra reservoir, the ability to make iced coffee!! o.O I just can't believe all of these features for this price! I am a very happy consumer! My husband sets it to brew Bold and we love it, it's convenient and works very well. It does not get as 'hot' as my husband was like but he feels it's a great trade off. Oh, it is SUPER quiet! PAY ATTENTION when you're making a cup especially if you're using a dark coffee cup early in the morning, as you may spill!! I didn't know how much was in my cup as I didn't hear a thing. Oh so ultra quiet! Love it :D I definitely rather pay more attention over the noise of previous coffee pots. I can't say enough about this coffee pot, may seen a bit overboard, but if like coffee and tea like we do, you'll understand. We are not coffee connoisseurs, but we do like a good cup of joe.

Best coffee maker!!!

After hours of deciding which coffee maker to get I bought this one, and I haven't been dissapointed. The stainless steel looks awesome and matches my fridge and stove. The small plate under the dispenser comes out for easy cleaning, and it's actual metal. (I had a kuerig and it was plastic). It's easy to fill with water and easy to see how many cups are in it. It brews delicious perfect drinking temperature coffee. The added functions (bold, 1-4 cups) really do make a difference. There is a side measurement on the coffee maker so you can see how much coffee is left. I noticed if there is less than 2 cups to just turn it off so it starts to burn. The dispenser is tall enough to fit a travel mug under. Also I want to note that when the coffee maker says 1 cup does NOT mean 1 mug/cup of coffee. To fill an average sized mug/cup you need 2-3 cups of brewed coffee.

You had me worried

Like many of those who wrote reviews, I also owned previous models of the H.B. Brew Station. They were hard to fill without spilling some water. They wore out after two/three years of constant use with very little upkeep by me. They earned their keep. I bought a H.B. Summit 12 cup last week; and before setting it up, I went to this site to check some reviews for suggestions and help on what I might encounter with the new brewer. (This approach is backwards, I know) Had I read the reviews beforehand, I would never have purchased the product. Comments like very messy, cannot see how much coffee is being dispensed, coffee drips all over, can only use a paper cup, coffee is not hot hard to program............... good grief!!! Here's what this 71 year old man experienced in his first week with the "POT" I used the old gold mesh filter I used on prior brewer. Makes the same very good cup of coffes as others before it. I plugged it in, yes, a short plug. filled it to 12 cups, found it much easier to fill than prior machine; Set warming time, pushed "ON" It brewed quickly, I pushed my large thick ceramic cup against the fill bar and watched it fill quickly with hot coffee! no spills, no chills. There was no dripping from the spout. Yes, there was some water vapor coming from the top of te brewer, I and my wife are having NO problems with the machine, Really, people!! This, by the way, is my first ever review of a product. I felt it necessary to respond to the bum rap this product was getting. No, I don't work for, or own stock in H.B Co.

Buy it. This new model rocks!

I've owned several of their older brewstation models over the last 7yrs. Those after 2.5 yrs have always stopped dispensing as the prong begins to flex due to the heat and wont push the coffee release valve as much eventually leading to no coffee coming out. The big pain was the old design allowed condensation from the lid to drip into the wells under the coffee carafe and it would overflow into the drip tray, thenmix with dripped coffee inside, and then run all over the counter on the 3rd pot. You'd have to remember to tip the entire machine into the sink to empty those wells. BUT- this model is much improved! Those two issues are gone. As far as others here saying it won't dispense with thick cups....not sure what they heck they are filling...maybe a stone chiseled mug with 2 inch rim thickness...I don't know. I have no issues with normal "thick rim mugs" with my unit. See my picture of it pouring into my thick mug. The spout output is at least 1 inch from the button. If your mug does not clear, you need another mug. No condensation at all on my unit either. They have put in two fixes with a much improved catch ramp built into the coffee filter holder and the area at the top back at the lid hinge now allows the condensation to drip directly into the water well where you pour the water. Problems solved! I think competitors write bogus reviews to scare people into not buying the product. Don't listen to it. This is the new and improved version! It's narrower, more compact, has a bold setting and does not drip lid condensation into the drip tray like the old one did. This one rocks! The only thing that's nit picky is filling it with water. Using the coffee carafe you need to rinse it well first. Or, you need another container marked at 12 cups to use to fill it with each time. Other than that, perfection with this version.

THIS IS IT!

I have had numerous coffee makers... including two different kinds of Keurigs. This is the absolute most favorite out of all coffee makers I have ever had. It is so easy to use, and clean. It keeps coffee hot up to four hours. Or you can even make cold coffee too. It comes out as like a soda machine. No more heavy coffee pots for hurting hands. Kcups are too expensive if you like to realllly drink coffee. You just add water to the (detachable) reservoir - how ever much you want - put the coffee in on top and press a button! That is it! It can even be programmed to make coffee at whatever time your heart desires. This is the BEST ever!!

Great coffee maker at a GREAT price

There are few things more depressing than loosing a beloved coffee maker, but that's what happened to us. Our old work horse started failing and we needed a new one. In comes this coffee maker to completely resurrect us from the dulldrums left by our former, caffeine-wielding friend. The setup was super quick and easy and off we were. The lack of coffee urn is a HUGE plus and the fact that water reservoir is removable makes the clean freak in me jump for joy. How was the first pot of coffee, you ask? Fan-freaking-tastic!! The coffee was hotter than our previous maker that supposedly had a setting to make it hotter.

and it is just awesome. I had a much older model which started ...

Bought this on the amazon warehouse deals, and it is just awesome. I had a much older model which started to leak after many years of trustworthy service. I was glad to have found a newer model and for a great price. It is fantastic to be able to fill up larger mugs and tall to go mugs. My coffee stays hot for as long as I set it for without scorching or burning. I especially like the detachable part which you fill with water, instead of having to stretch the faucet over. I took a chance on the amazon warehouse part, but only the box was slightly squashed, and the coffee maker was perfect inside. Can't wait to try the iced coffee feature when it gets hot this summer.

Perfect!

Me and my husband are coffee junkies and I bought this for him since his other coffee maker broke. Once we plugged it in and set it up it did take a minute to figure out how to use it since we dumped the water in the wrong place...but once we figured that out and turned it on it was quick to heat and doesn’t drip like other coffee makers do. The brewing time is a nice feature which keeps the coffee warm for a certain amount of time and up to 4 hours, and also the programmable time is a plus since he wakes up early and doesn’t have to worry about making coffee as it turns on and starts to brew on the set time. We haven’t had any leaks, and find this to be wayyy nicer than other coffee makers like this we had in the past.

Good lil coffeemaker

I keep waiting for this pot to 'fail' in some way. Some of the reviews were daunting....even saved the shipping box, anticipating a return. Bottom line: we love it. We plan to buy another for our RV.
