Hamilton Beach BrewStation Summit Ultra Coffee Maker | ROASTe

My kitchen coffee bar is sporting a new accessory this morning -- a Hamilton Beach BrewStation Summit Ultra automatic drip coffee machine. In fact, when the drip coffee maker is my only choice for brewing coffee, I'll skim off the first cup as soon as there's enough to fill one. After weeks of drinking nothing but moka pot coffee, the drip coffee took a little getting used to. but it was a decent cup of coffee. I wanted a drip coffee machine that was easy to use, made decent coffee and could make small pots as well as big ones. The Hamilton Beach BrewStation Summit So. The BrewStation arrived nicely packaged from Englewood Marketing Group just about 9 days after I ordered it. It's easy to put together and set up and we had a pot of coffee brewing just about 15 minutes... That's a major plus around here where I end up wiping up coffee spills off the coffee counter several times a day Warmer keeps the coffe warm without burning it -- nice trick. The new drip coffee maker went on the back burner for a while, though, because I'm quite happy with my moka pot and the roomie just drinks brown water. I tend to like my coffee stronger and bolder than most auto drip makers can handle. First cup of coffee dispensed at 192 F. Second cup about 30 minutes later was 190 F. I haven't bothered with a repeat performance, but those strike me as pretty good numbers for a fairly inexpensive drip coffeemaker. You can press the bold button to brew your coffee stronger -- longer brew time. However, I finally broke down and decided to replace it when the only way we could brew coffee in the ADC was to put a 5-pound bag of sugar on top of the lid to keep it closed and keep the brewer engaged. 8 minutes from pushing start to dispensing a cup of coffee. The rest of the house is quite happy drinking weak coffee. Here's the scoop on it. A Little History I'm not a great fan of coffee made in an ADC generally. Doesn't it look cozy next to the Espressione coffee grinder. The coffee tank is a big plastic bucket. But hey, all's fair in love and coffee, right.
