I have a terrible Hamilton Beach. I seldom use it because it is so difficult to get the cup and the top on. Is this one is easy to set up?

Yes it is but the biggest problem with it is you can not store all the parts inside and close the top when done. I didnt want to have to store parts separately.

extremely easy to set up, and to take apart, and to clean........you will not do better for the money.

It's very easy to set up. I've had several food processors over the years, and this is the best one I've had. Lots of power, easy to use. And easy to clean up. The parts can go right in the diswasher. Hope this helped.

I really don't know, I am using a Hamilton Beach, if you ask the seller they may be more helpful. I have receved very good answers by doing this. If there is a place that holds coffee pods it should work, I use to use seneo until they became impossible to find

We did not find it difficult to set this system up, however we did have a few questions and called the companyas directed in the instructions and they were great in answering all our questions. The system has been going forabout a year now and does a terrific job for us. Hope this was helpful.

I hate ours. It is hard to set. Ours held at 35* for awhile when it was turned up then on same setting it froze the soda can so it popped and what mess. Freezes in the back and is at least 43* on the door. Have it setting about 1/4 th of the way near off

Yes, it's extremely easy to set up, simply insert the disc and follow the directions. Will take you 10 minutes top.

Yes, I got grounds too with the first few cups I made with the Tassimo......but then we got the hang of it. The problem was we were too shy about 'locking down the "brew mechanism" tightly enough.

Not sure if ill be able to describe well but here it goes... Put all ingredients in tumbler, put the glass and tumbler together - mouth to mouth - top to top, open side to open side - hold together firmly. No need to force them together, will prob need to play with this step a little using just water to gauge firmness. Start using two hands as well. Shake. If the cup becomes stuck in the tumbler gently tap the tumbler (not the glass!!!) on the edge of the counter it will cause it to release. I took a battening class and we learned to mix using this style. I prefer it over the shaker tops personally. Def took practice getting used to holding the cups together and then freeing the glass. Once you've got it though its fun :-)

If you have the complete jig and the Hamilton Beach will take the standard K-Cup cups then it will work. I actually works good and allows you to use your normal coffee. You will need a larger amount that you would use for a regular coffee pot but the convenience and speed is great.

Hi Kelli. It wasn't that hard to set up but took about 2 hours. The directions are pretty well done. My son and I did it together. However, that being said, I wouldn't recommend it. We used it for about 3 weeks and totally fell apart. It is pretty junky. I ended up sending it back in pieces and getting a refund.

Had the same problem - trashed it. Bought the Hamilton Beach version; it is fine.

Pretty easy. The top goes on last and it's pretty difficult to push down. You will need to stretch the legs with your hands while (preferably someone else) pushing down on the top piece. I have 2 of these and each were like that.

To be honest I didn't have very good luck but, I had a really bad Hamilton one cup coffee maker(non-pressurized)and the water never got hot. So I really guess I can't give a fair evaluation.

Yes, initial set up is easy. Make sure you leave space between drip stations to make the system more flexible when rearranging pots, adding pots.

I have used Hamilton Beach brewstations for so many years I do not even own a carafe. You would have no way of keeping the coffee warm in the carafe once you put it in there with this coffemaker.

It is quite easy. The top cap is two pieces that separates. I use a brush to clean the cup and the top.

It wasn't difficult, and rather quick to put together. The entire table top is already assembled. You just have to put on the legs and cross bars. My boyfriend and I did it together, but honestly he did most of it. I highly recommend that you put 2 coats of polyurathane (sp?) on this table as soon as you assemble it. I didn't want to run the risk of the finish failing in the sun and rain. So far, so good... better than good, it's beautiful! I got an umbrella from home depot for $25 and it's so rich looking now!

I just got mine and am not happy with the set-up. The directions are hard to follow and info on facebook, etc is poor. It seems to be a highly regarded unit and looks to be very well made. I'm pretty sure I will be happy with it in the long run. Cliff
