If you are thinking about the Brewstation, I say go for it! It is great to use, and it will be the envy of your friends!
Positive Product Points
Automatic shut-off is a must, and it doesn't turn off too early. Making coffee is the easiest it has ever been, and I don't have to worry about the caraffe spilling.
Negative Product Points
I have found that the drip tray is too small, and apparently I am not alone on this matter. I read that in reviews before I decided to go with it.
Detailed Commentary
I have read several reviews about the Brewstation online through various sites, before I decided to buy it. When I got the machine, I knew I was taking a risk with it being so split-reviewed. However, I can honestly say that it is the best coffee machine I have owned to date.
Like I said the drip tray is too small. But for all that it does, that is a rather small thing to complain heavily about.
I just love the idea of being able to push my cup against a dispenser, rather than having to use a caraffe to pour it into the cup.
I have been using it actively for a while now, and I have yet to find any leak problems. That was a somewhat common complaint in the reviews I had read earlier on, however no problems here!
Buying Experience
What do you expect? I got it at Wal-Mart. Nobody was able to help me, but I didn't need the help, thanks to the prep that I had gone in with.
