This is the Hamilton Beach BrewStation Model 47665. It's the 12 cup capacity. They also make a ten cup model. It serves coffee one cup at a time. Technically it s not a true one cup at a time coffeemaker. Other models use (inaudible) to make one serving each. This actually makes 12 cups at a time and serves it one cup at a time so it's very similar to a regular (inaudible) with a craft except for that this coffeemaker comes with a filter basket like most coffeemakers do but instead of the craft the coffee is made and it's stored in the coffee tank which is this little bucket item right there. And then the coffee filter folder that's right on top of that. Pretty much that's the design very simple that's why I bought it. I didn't want anything too complicated. So now let's brew--actually I'm going to (inaudible) in hot water coz you can also make tea with this and just to show you demonstrate where the water goes. It's pretty much a no brainer. So I'll get that--I already have some premeasured water. I have an old craft from my old coffee pot. And the water goes back here in this reservoir. I have (inaudible) eight cups of water that (inaudible) into the back of third coffeemaker for demonstration. With that we don't need a craft. So it's bliss. There's an on and off button here. Push the on and off button and the coffee pot will start brewing and the water go into the coffee tank. So we'll just wait till that finishes and I'll tell you just a little bit more about it. All right the coffee is done really. But in my case I have hot water. And just for demonstration purposes I brought a thermo cup to show you how that fits nicely under the dispensing area. And I hope you can see but there's a lot of steam coming out of this cup. So this brews a nice hot cup of coffee. However since I am going to have tea I have my cup ready. Fill up my cup for my tea. Again you can see the steam how hot it is. Some of the other features that this coffeemaker has is it does have a clock it's a programmable clock and you can set it up to have your coffee ready for you when you get up in the morning. It comes with a coffee scoop and some filters so that's a nice little added touch but it's a pretty basic machine. I like it because I don't have to worry about burning coffee on the bottom of my craft anymore from the little hot plate that the crop used to sit around and I can never remember to turn off my coffee pot. So this will automatically shutoff in two hours. And it also does have a warm around the inside obviously keep the coffee warm. But this had seem to scorch the coffee like the little hitting units on a regular pot. So anyway I like it. I'm happy with my purchase. I got it at Wal-Mart. It runs about close to fifty. You could get it under fifty if you're (inaudible) deal. So I can have my coffee one cup at a time or in this case my tea.
