This is the second one of these we have purchased. We love the upgrades that have been made, but the coffee carafe leaks as you pour. We tried pouring with the cup on the counter, we have tried picking the cup up and then pouring. We tried pouring slow and pouring fast and it still leaks out onto the counter. It is not a faulty pot, but faulty design of spout. I'm calling the company Monday to find out what the problem is.

I just bought this and I like that I can make one cup or ten. What I don't like is that you can't use certain pods. I like the Vitcor Allen coffee but the pods explode all over and make a big mess!!! I had to return the 2 boxes that I had just ordered at the same time. I got the Folgers Classic and they work fine.

We were so happy with the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew because of its dual features of both brewing a single cup or an entire pot of coffee! The fact that you are able to wake up to the wonderful aroma of freshly brewed coffee, due to being able to program the time to brew, as well as the fact that the price was more than reasonable, is a no-brainer for coffee lovers!

I never liked K-cups. I prefer to grind my own beans. My coffee was always weak with the Keurig filters. The Hamilton Beach allows me to brew single cups up to 14 oz of good coffee. Not watered down stiuff. Being able to brew an entire pot is helpful when guests are visiting.

Love it so far. We drink at least a half pot, or more, of coffee every morning in our house, so going to a pod system would not be worth it, not to mention pricey. This was the perfect solution, a pot of coffee in the morning and a cup in the afternoon. I can buy ground coffee or pods or put ground coffee in a pod. WE LOVE IT! One tip: Keep the pod needle clean, we found this out when it would not brew a cup one time, we clean it every few cups and haven't had a problem since.

We have been using this brand/style for several years. Holds up fairly well. The only complaint I have is the “warming plate” gets worn out before anything else or I would give 5 stars. That being said I don’t want to use any other coffee maker. Love option to brew a pot or a cup!!

I had this shipped to my daughter in grad school. She absolutely loves it and says the brewed coffee is delicious. She has not had opportunity to use the pods feature yet. I sought a high quality coffee maker, but one not so expensive that at the end of grad school it wouldn’t be too precious to “gift” to an incoming student—we live 3000 miles away.

We had one that a friend gave to us after her husband passed away. We were able to use it for 4 years before it gave out. She had said they had it for 6 years before us. So, we wanted what we liked in the Hamilton Beach Flex Brew. It is nice to have the option of pods or pot coffee. Especially when we have company and this way we can offer folks different flavors in the pods.

I love the fact that you can brew a single cup or a full pot, but I don't like the fact that the coffee warmer only stays on for 2 hours ,then it shuts down and the rest of the coffee gets cold. I also do not like that you cannot fill the water reservoir over a certain amount or it will overflow, already happened to me twice, when making a pot or a single cup of coffee.

I bought one for me for Christmas because I always wanted a Keurig style maker. So I got more than I could dream of having. Loved it so much got two more for my kids. They are ecstatic and very happy. Thanks Sams Club for this beauty. Price was fabulous for what you get.
