Hamilton Beach 47665H H.BEACH PROG. BREW STATN. W/TRAVEL MUG Review

My husband bought this for me for a birthday present. I liked the idea -- press and pour. What I hate is it is difficult to measure how much water you are putting in because you are putting water into a dark black holder/tank. There are no level markers inside the tank. I'm basically guessing how much water I am putting in. So, sometimes I get really strong coffee or weak coffee. Also, the coffee level window doesn't show you how much water you've put in unless you have direct light on the window because the tank/holder is black and the coffee is black. I have to shine light on the window to see how much coffee is in there and as I use it, how much is left.

Another thing I don't like are the big parts. I rather rinse out a carafe then this big black thing. Then you are suppose to use the big black thing to pour into these two small holes behind the holder/tank. Water inevitably gets all over. So I end up using a carafe or a measuring cup w/spout to pour into the holes. My coffee filter holder doesn't fit very well over that tank, so steam/water escapes because the top lid doesn't come down all the way.

I don't know if I have an earlier version of the "BrewStation". I just don't get the great reviews. It is big, clunky and takes up a lot of room. I am purchasing a different one even though mine is rather new. I'm going to give mine away.
