We bought a Hamilton Beach BrewStation four weeks ago when I broke the carafe for our Gevalia coffeemaker for the second time. We drink coffee every morning and have been very pleased with the machine. The coffee is nice and hot. The machine brews quickly and quietly. The one hand operation to pour a cup of coffee is easy and convienient. We have had no problem with drips or leaks. I do not notice that the coffee tastes any different. We like it. I rinse out the plastic urn after every use and clean it once a week.
