This replaced the same one that we purchased at bed Bath and beyond in about 2019. The coffee pot still work but the K cup part quit working! So we like this unit we just wished that the the single would be a little faster!

Purchased this for our house; one of us loves coffee, the other tea. This brews the perfect cup for both of us. And if we are having people for dinner, the ability to brew a full pot is awesome. Love this coffee maker and would recommend to everyone.

You just can't make it any easier, I've I've got one and absolutely love it. I also bought one for my mother, she's single and loves the fact that she doesn't have to make a pot of coffee when she can just make a cup at a time when she wants one.... and it's fresh and it's always a fresh cup of coffee, tea, hot cocoa, or apple cider. She said she's being soooooo spoiled

There are two models almost the same. The Flex brew and the Flex brew Trio.. I would prefer thee flex brew trio because you fill a water reservoir and set the number of ounces you wish to brew. ., The Flex brew has you fill only the amount of water you want to brew. Not a big difference but I prefer the reservoir with settings to brew an amount. Of course that may be just one more thing to break. Simple is usually better. One of my favorite features is that Hamilton Beach allows the cleaning of the nozzle, which is the most common reason for pod coffee makers to quit. I had a Kuerig and there was no way to clean t he clogged nozzle. Both these units use the flat bottom paper filter which I also prefer. While this is simple to use,, I suggest you read the instructions.

This is our favorite coffee maker but know that you may get only 4-5 years out of it. In the past, things like the warmer plate would stop working but this last time, the water literally leaked out of the bottom of the pot reservoir. But I will keep coming back until there is a reasonably priced comparison. This is our 4th one we have purchased and the only reason I keep going back is the convenience of a full 12 cup brew pot and a k-cup at a reasonable price.

Love the ability to brew either a single cup with kcup or my own grounds. As well as being able to brew a complete pot also. It does take a while to brew the single cup, compared to a keurig; However it is still nice. It is nice having a water reservoir on both sides. The only thing I wasn't crazy about is having to hold the program button at the same time as the clock in order to set the time. I also wish since there are separate water reservoirs not being able to brew a pot and a single cup at the same time. Some times I want a nice vanilla cinnamon coffee while my husband prefers a pot of Breakfast blend. So waiting for each other to be done takes a bit of time. Other than those couple of small things, we love the coffee maker.

This coffee maker worked great for the first year. After one year, however, the single serve side started acting up. It is no longer working, and Hamilton Beach will not do anything about it since the warranty is up. The carafe side still works, but we bought this unit to have both options. Not happy about this brand.

Water reservoir for the k cup holds max of 14 oz. of water. No selection button for coffee cup size. You add the amount of water for the coffee cup size. The next issue is brew time for the k cup is way too long compared to the Keurig and Cuisinart makers I previously owned.

I had this coffeemaker for about 1 1/2 weeks and finally returned it yesterday. I wasted about 15 K-cups using the single-serve side. It worked right maybe 4 times. The most annoying issue was when the coffee grounds would spew out of the front and onto the counter, etc. It did make several cups of coffee with grounds in it, as well. I never used the carafe side so I don’t know how well it worked. I was so excited to get this and now am so disappointed. It did make the coffee really hot, which I loved, but it’s too expensive to waste the k-cups (and I was using the Keurig brand only). I also thoroughly cleaned all the parts every time I used it. Back to my mini-Keurig for now ☹️

As coffee makers go this is nothing special. You know what is special for anyone thinking about purchasing this coffee maker, it doesn't come With The Pod to hold a water Filter!!! Every coffee maker I've owned in the last 10 years comes with a water filter holder/pod and at least one starter filter. Oh NO Hamilton Beach things so highly of "themselves" if you want a water filter Pod it'll cost you $9.99...that should be unacceptable to anyone needing a coffee maker. I would not recommend this coffee maker.
