Hamilton Beach Coffee Makers

Today, a look at Model 47454 BrewStation Deluxe 12 cup Coffeemaker and Model 48465 the BrewStation Summit Ultra 12 cup. The Deluxe comes with a water filter and gold-tone filter basket while the Summit Ultra does not. The Deluxe has four brewing settings: regular, flavor plus for bold coffee, choice of 1 to 4 cups brewing amount and iced coffee. The Summit Ultra has four brewing settings; bold, regular, iced coffee and small-batch options. The Deluxe and the Summit Ultra both have an auto shutoff that can be adjusted from 0, used for *iced coffee, to 4 hours. Model 80674R replacement water filter is used in the Deluxe coffeemaker. Like the Summit Ultra this coffee maker has a programmable clock-timer to have your coffee ready when you want it day or night. Both have an insulated tank to keep your coffee tasting fresh, the Deluxe also has a gentle warming heater.

Although these two BrewStations do not look alike, they do offer similar features. The Deluxe has a large back-lit digital clock set in stainless steel in the front at the top. The Summit Ultra’s entire front is accented with stainless steel and has a large back-lit digital clock right above the dispensing unit.

Again, both coffee makers have completely different designs, yet both offer similar features. In the end, the Deluxe is more deluxe than the Summit Ultra.
