When the coffeemaker arrived, the first thing I did was tighten the screws as described in one of the other reviews. Put water in the container and it leaked badly. I then tried food grade gasket paste but that did not stand up to the heat. So I found a good grade ruberized gasket that would work. Okay, the coffeemaker could now finally make coffee.
The coffee was strong, hot, and good. Has an automatic shutoff after two hours. The container it brews into is not air tight, but the coffee was still good enough the next day that you could nuke it and enjoy it.
One big minus was that if you used the reusable metail filter you had to have it centered perfectly and I mean perfectly to keep grounds from going into your coffee. For some reason, the brew basket is much bigger than the filter and you have to align it by eye.
The coffee maker worked for 6 months and then the rubber gasket wore through. I could not find another one. Only 6 months of use out of this coffeemaker that has an obvious engineering defect straight from the manufacturer. (They put a metal plate at the bottom of the "bucket" that the coffee brews into. The metal plate is warmed from underneath to keep the coffee hot. However, when they attach the plate to the plastic bucket they use 4 screws; and nothing else. This is where it leaks. There is no way to tighten 4 tiny screws into plastic enough to make the connection watertight. The manufacturer really messed this one up.)
You will be disappointed if you purchase this product. I would recommend you purchase something else.

I have owned several models of the BrewStation, but I have to say this is by far the BEST one I've purchased. I think the quality of this particular model surpasses other BrewStations & is a very worthwhile purchase, coffee brews quickly & clean up is very easy. I'm enjoying every cup of coffee, thanks for such a wonderful purchase.Best Deals for Hamilton Beach D43012B Commercial BrewStation 12-Cup Coffeemaker
i bought this to replace my cuisinart coffee maker..... what a mistake.... the only reason why i bought it is because it says commercial. this is not a commercial coffee maker... i should have figured that out with the price also. it is very poorly built... is all plastic if you move it the wrong way it will brake no doubt about that. the coffee resevoir spills out coffee when pouring and after pouring it drip. this did not last 1 week i returned it. thanks to amazons great return policy i had no problems and got my money back.Honest reviews on Hamilton Beach D43012B Commercial BrewStation 12-Cup Coffeemaker
We LOVE this coffee maker. I love that that you can just place your cup underneath without having to handle a carafe. The coffee is always made quickly. For larger coffee mugs or tumblers, we just use our hands to push the button behind the cup to make it work. Not hard to do.Recently while cleaning The very top lid came off, only held by small plastic pieces to the main part of the coffee maker (hinge of lid). It was still under warranty so we are getting a new coffee maker in the next few days.
Overall, great product. We use it at least 3-4 times a week.
