[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product over 2 weeks ago from Hamilton-Beech to test the product and I love the idea of being able to make 1 cup of coffee for me anytime I want without wasting a whole pot of coffee because I can't drink it fast enough.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the added brew basket and strong brew button

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Up front, I want to say that I was gifted this coffee maker for an honest review.
I don't use K-cups so, this review will be based upon just using the grounds basket. As far as the quality of the machine, it looked very impressive. A bit larger than I expected but, that viewpoint is based upon someone who hasn't updated their 1 Cup coffee maker purchased at RiteAid for $10 over 15 years:). Anyhow, I made my first cup of coffee in the Hamilton Beach Flex Brew tonight. I used 2 Tablespoons of a newly opened bag of Gevalia House Blend Medium Roast with 8 ounces of water...the same measurements I use every morning in my old 1C coffee maker. I selected the strong brew button first time out and, it did make a stronger cup of coffee so, that was a big improvement. Like my coffee strong but don't want to have to use any more coffee to GET it that way. Water boils in the back reservoir which I also like since, the finished cup of coffee is hotter in the cup rather than the spurts of hot water coming out in increments as with my older model. All and all, a nice improvement to my morning cup of coffee experience. Sorry about not testing it with a K-cup. I'm old school so, using a K-cup for grounds when you can brew grounds in the separate filter they provide doesn't make sense to me. Maybe all machines don't have that extra brew basket so, if not , that's a real plus for this machine.

Small in size, great in taste!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smaller in size but great but its flexibility is great! I have a bigger single serve unit but living in an apartment, counter space is limited. This much smaller unit is such a great convenience. I only want one cup of coffee in the morning and this is perfect for that, no waste. I also love that I can use my over-size coffee mug which is something I can’t do with my other one. It makes great tasting coffee…couldn’t ask for more.

A simple machine made simply perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I opened the box I saw a very nice looking machine that looked like all the rest but that was just a quick first impression, after tinkering with every part on the unit and cleaning the system per the instructions in the manual I noticed the design was made for ease and usefulness. I was also very impressed on how easy they made it for us to clean the needle that pokes the hole in the top of the single serve pack.
The single serve pack holder and the brew basket is very easy to take in and out and to clean, you don't even have to study the manual for two hours in order to achieve the goal of the task nor do you have to be a world champion thumb wrestler to install the single serve packs.
This simple machine is made simply perfect and makes a perfect cup of coffee every time at the perfect temperature. When it gets done you don't have any annoying warning bells or whistles but what it does have is is a pump that pushes the water out of the lines so that water doesn't set and grow mold,which is great for my future cups of coffee.

Efficient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the quietness of this brewer. It has two settings for brew types bold or regular which turns a regular pod into a great day starter if you need it strong. I like that it doesn't take up a lot of counter space!

Simplicity of operation

Really enjoy using this machine. The unit is very simple to use and makes some really nice coffee. The included extra fresh grounds basket allows you to custom blend your own favorite coffee to exactly the way you choose. Of course remember you can use any of the K cup type of coffees. No The machine is well made and nice looking on the counter. Only wish for a few minor changes. The overflow container is to shallow to contain much of a overflow and It would also be nice if the brewing sequence was a little faster. Please read your instructions. You will find that if you use your cup or mug that you are using, filled with the proper amount of water then poured into the reservoir and brewed you will not have any overflow. The machine is designed to brew the full amount of water ( up to 14 oz. ) that you add. All parts are easily removed for cleaning. The Flex-Brew is a joy to use and I enjoy it's many advantages and some really good coffee.

Liking the smaller size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that the coffee maker takes up less space than the other single cup coffee makers. Also a plus is that it includes the brewing capability other than having to buy K-cups. I usually drink a couple of cups a day and this certainly serves me well.
