Hamilton Beach FlexBrew is Perfect
on November 25, 2025
Posted by: Doug K
We needed a new coffee maker, and we needed the flexibility of single cup & carafe brewing. The HB FlexBrew does all that, and also is coffee pod (k-cup) friendly as well.
EZ setup experience from opening the box. We were up and brewing our first cup within 5 minutes, tried both the single cup with & without a k-cup. Both worked well, coffee tasted great, and was a little warmer than our old coffee maker.
Time will tell if this coffee maker holds up to the hard water we have in the NY Finger Lakes region. Our old HB brewer was still going strong at 5 years old, but we clean bi-weekly which helps. Not sure why Hamilton Beach hasn't added a clean me light yet, should be easy enough to do and helps product life.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great coffee maker that can run k-cups, without that fancy "Keurig" price tag.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time using a Hamilton Beach coffee maker and I am impressed! No leaks, and a great cup or pot of coffee every single time. The black design looks great on my countertop too.
10/10 do not recommend have had nothing but problems with the flex brew a month after we bought it in June of this year it's only October and want to throw it in the trash!!!
Can’t believe anyone would give this product a positive review single brew plugs over 50% of the time I clean as directed but still plugs used paper clip & small round brush still plugs
