When brewing an 8 cup pot of coffee using a No. 4 paper basket liner the coffee grounds over flow the paper liner and grounds are always in the pot of brewed of coffee. Since the coffee make is capable of brewing up to 12 cups, the grounds should not over flow the paper liner when making 12 cups let alone ONLY 8 CUPS. Very disappointing coffee maker.
This is the third flex-brew I've owned. I was excited about the new model and was hopeful that it would be more reliable than the other two. Today, it suddenly decided to dump water all over my kitchen counter. I would have handled it better, but I haven't had my coffee yet. Finally looking for another brand. My forever pot is apparently not a Hamilton Beach Flex-brew
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We went straight to Hamilton Beach when our old coffee machine died. This machine is great and gives us the option to brew only one cup. A handy feature
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few months ago, when I was looking for a new coffee maker. The bonus of a single cup option has been super handy in my household where a pot is gone after the first 3 travel mugs have been filled. Some of my adult children who live with me drink coffee all day long and now they don't have to make a pot in order to do that. The pot brews pretty quickly and can be programmed, too! Overall, I highly recommend this for anyone who wants options!
