Besides eliminating the need to pour coffee from a carafe, the BrewStation Dispensing Coffeemaker with Removable Reservoir simplifies another messy chore: filling the water reservoir. Instead of opening the top of the coffeemaker and pouring in water, which typically involves pulling the coffeemaker forward for better reach, this coffeemaker is equipped with a removable side reservoir that lifts off for easy filling at the sink . Troubleshooting : Coffee brews slowly – Excessive amounts of coffee grounds and coffee is ground too finely and yet the coffee grinder is put to automatic drip grind and there is more than one paper filter in filter basket or poor quality paper filter or wrong size paper filter . Coffee overflows basket – Coffeemaker needs cleaning the coffeemaker should be cleaned at least every 30 days to maintain proper performance and press BREW OPTIONS button until no lights appear . Coffee tastes bad – Coffee-to-water ratio unbalanced and so adjust for personal preference or poor water quality for which use a water filter or bottled water to make coffee and for iced coffee, too much ice in tank causing too long extraction time for grounds and make sure ice is not above the 10-cup marking line . Coffee leaks from dispenser – Coffee grounds trapped in coffee tank dispensing mechanism under seal in coffee tank

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…
I liked the idea that it was a combination of 12-cup … The big reason I ordered this was because I was tired of dealing with coffee carafes. I liked the idea that it was a combination of 12-cup coffee maker with the convenience of a Keurig. And on that level it didn’t disappoint. However there are few things I find annoying about it. Like most people who use a coffeemaker, it sits on my countertop underneath my cabinets. And of course in order to fill it, clean it, or whatever, I have to pull it out from the wall. I run into a problem with the…
HB knocked this one out of the park! UPDATE: May 17, 2016After ~8 months of daily use, we’ve discovered that somewhere along the design chain something was either overlooked or ignored. As I said in my first review, there’s a lot to love about the redesign of this unit. But something’s not right. About 6 months in, the reservoir that holds the brewed coffee began to leak. I contacted HB and was told I had to pay $5.99 shipping and they would send a replacement. Fine. The new reservoir works fine. No leaks since. At least no…
