So convenient! Excellent coffee!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So convenient! Excellent coffee! It’s sleek and looks great on my counter. I love that I can use K-cups and ground coffee. In the morning rush, I like to quickly fill a tumbler with coffee for my morning commute and the K-cup fits that bill. On the weekends, things are slower and I like to relax with a cup of fresh brewed java. This coffee maker does both!!! Easy peasy!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great, simple to operate, individual coffee maker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This single serve coffee maker hits all the needs I have for a quick cup of coffee, tea ir hot cocoa. I love the ability to use my own flavored grounds or a pod . Its also nice to be able to quickly heat a cup of water for tea or cocoa. The ability to decide how much water you need for any particular cup up to 14 oz is very nice. It heats the water very hot so you get a great brewed cup of coffee. I like the ability to make one cup when theres no need to brew a whole pot. Definately an asset to any kitchen.

A Great Single Brew Machine
on December 3, 2023
Posted by: Sally
from Surprise, AZ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very concerned about where I would have room on my kitchen counter for my new Hamilton Beach Flex-Brew Single Serve Coffee Maker. The photo shows it sitting underneath my cabinet, next to the toaster. I also show how a 24 ounce coffee cup and a 16 ounce carry out cup appear sitting on the stand to brew. I always fill two ounces under to allow room for any add-ins. When I am ready to use it, I just pull it forward. The product information pamphlet must be read ahead of using the brewer. I love the simplicity of use. I can understand the importance of running a clean water rinse after brewing a hot chocolate/cocoa drink. Not only will it clean the machine, it won’t leave an off flavor to your coffee or tea . I clean the ground coffee filter after each use also. I highly recommend this single serve brew machine as convenient and space saver. Clean sleek, smart appearance.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Superb dual coffee maker but coffee is weak.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As noted in my headline, my 5-star rating is conditional, the condition being one’s subjectivity and preferences. As is the case with all of the Hamilton Beach products that I have, I find that the FlexBrew Dual Coffee Maker is very well made (durable), easy to use, and easy to clean. As advertised, this coffee maker accepts Keurig and Keurig-like pods and also includes a filter basket that accepts ground coffee of your choice. The pod holder and single-serve basket are removable and easily cleaned. The cup rest/basket storage compartment is removable if accommodating a tall mug is desired. The self-contained water reservoir is readily filled: lift the lid, add the desired amount of water guided by the volume gauge on the side of the reservoir. Brewing is quite fast varying very slightly with the amount of water used (up to 14 oz.) I usually make coffee in the Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Professional Programmable Coffee Maker, on its “robust” setting, using a set water/coffee ration. In the attached images, “A” is a backlit image of the final brew utilizing the 12-cup coffee maker; “B” is a backlit image of the final brew utilizing the FlexBrew coffee maker, on its “bold” setting, using the same water/coffee ratio. As you can see, all things being equal, coffee brewed by the FlexBrew coffee maker is half as dark, i.e., half as strong, as coffee brewed by the 12-cup coffee maker. One can, of course, experiment with water/coffee ratios to achieve the brew strength they desire. I do not have a Keurig-type coffee maker so I cannot make the same comparison. The reader should understand that I am, more often than not, impelled by economic considerations than I am by convenience, e.g. I will use this coffee maker with the ground coffee basket, when I desire a single, quick cup of coffee – realizing that I will have to use a combination of more coffee/less water to achieve my preferred brew strength. In other words, the cost of my cup of coffee is going up. And, for me, for occasional use, that’s fine. For others, especially those who regularly use Keurig pods, the added cost is par for the course. Bottom line, an excellent coffee maker that will require an adjustment of the water/coffee ratio (less water/more coffee) to yield a robust cup of coffee.

Best I've seen

This coffee maker will brew a great cup of coffee. Like every machine, you will need to determine your coffee grounds to water ratio to suit your taste. I recommend purchasing number 1 cone shaped coffee filters. The mesh in the pod doesn't strain the grounds enough for my taste.

Easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you live alone this coffeemaker might work for you. I don't like having to add water everytime I want or my family wants a hot beverage. Takes awhile for water to heat up. I do like the brew basket for fresh ground coffee. It is easy to use. I also like that the coffee once brewed is very hot. This coffee maker is very basic and doesn't take up much counter space.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Makes a great cup of coffee
on December 1, 2023

from Bluffton, SC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple operation, load and go no extra unneeded features just to make a great cup of coffee.
I almost always use K-cups but I like the option to use ground coffee and the storage space under the cup rest for the filter is a great feature.
The size works well, it doesn’t take up too much counter space and it fits under the top cabinet when not in use.
It’s quick, brews a cup of coffee in less than a minute.
I am using the same brand k-cup and the same amount of water to brew as I did with my old machine, and the coffee tastes better, is hotter and stays hotter longer once brewed. I tried using the BOLD setting once and I did notice that the coffee was stronger tasting using the same amount of water, also the machine makes a lot more noise using the BOLD setting. I have been more than satisfied with how it brews using the REG setting.
I have not tried it using ground coffee.
