Disappointed

I bought this brewer in late August, I wanted the ability to brew one cup or full pot when needed. Last week, the coffee exploded out of the pod. I cleaned the coffee grounds up and forgot about it. Today, two times , same thing. It’s a real mess to clean the grounds off counter and the brewer. I stupidly didn’t keep the receipt but rep at Sams said I could bring it back and get another one or get a gift card. Im really disappointed and not sure I want another one. The only other dual brewer that I know of is a Cuisinart for $200.00. I just read reviews on this brewer and this issue is mentioned frequently.

Perfect Blend of Convenience and Quality: A Must-Have Coffee Maker!

I recently purchased the FlexBrew and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The sleek design fits perfectly on my countertop, and it’s super easy to use. Brewing time is quick, and the coffee comes out hot and flavorful every single time. I love the programmable timer feature, which allows me to wake up to a fresh pot of coffee. Cleaning is easy. If you’re a coffee lover looking for convenience and quality, this coffee maker is a fantastic choice!

Takes Time, but Good

The pro side is that it is dual featured, which is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted the convenience of a single serving with option for full pot when having guests. The pot of coffee is always hot and does auto shut off, if you should forget it. The con side is the program for timing did not work properly, so I could not set up for a pot of coffee to be ready the next morning, if desired. Also, you have to input water every time you use either side, so that is different to the Keurig brand. It does take a good 15 minutes for a pot of coffee, so that is back to old school. Don't be in a rush for coffee. Overall, regardless, it is a good product and would still recommend it. I have had mine about a year now.

Good but not great.

I wish I could give 3.5 stars. I had a Ninja bar coffee maker that I loved. Unfortunately, it quit working after 1.5 years and I didn’t want to pay that price for a coffee maker that didn’t last. I’ve loved HB coffee makers before, so I decided to purchase this on b/c it fit all my needs. Pros: I was able to save counter space by eliminating my Keurig. It makes pretty good coffee, not as tasty as the Ninja, but not as bad as a cheap coffee maker. Easily set the program to make coffee in the morning. Has bold brew strength. Easy to fill if you don’t put it under a cabinet. Comes with a filter basket for your own ground coffee on the k-cup side AND it has a storage spot for it on the coffee maker. I love how the basket for the full pot has a specific way to put it in and it’s easy to do. Cons: Slow. OMG is this thing take forever to make a pot or a kcup of coffee!! (Which is why I set the timer) No reservoir for k-cup side. The kcup setup is clunky and difficult to close. We have had several accidents due to the lid not being closed all the way. If you use the included basket, this doesn’t seem to be a problem. I will reserve judgment on if I would purchase again because it depends on how long it will last. As of right now I would, because of the price (I paid $79 at Walmart) and because of the convenience of not having two machines. I really hate how slow it is and how much of a pain it is to use the k-cup, but wouldn’t keep me from purchasing again. I would say that it is worth the price.

Extremely Horrible Product

Never buy this product. Does not brew coffee good. You never taste coffee, it brews so weak no matter how much coffee you put in. The single cup works even worse, no taste of coffee. I bought it during Christmas and yesterday a part fell, just 3 months. I did not register so I am not sure if I get a refund.

LOVE LOVE LOVE MY FLEX BREWER!!

I Love this coffee maker. I bought it specifically because I can never offer my mother her decaf because by the time I open a package, it goes stale before the can use it all. I personally don't like coffee from my Keurig, so I opted for a standard carafe style maker for years..... this is a game changer. I can buy kcups of decalf for my mom and hot coco cups for the kids while I enjoy the flavor of my carafe style brew, exactly how I like it everytime.

Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Coffee Maker

We have never had a more versatile coffeemaker in our 41 years of marriage than we have found in the HB FlexBrew Model 49957. Just got our new one, and donated our first one we've had for 7 great years...we just wanted a new one. If you are a fellow coffee fiend, I highly recommend the FlexBrew 49957!

My second 2-way Flex Brew coffee pot. The first one was purchased in 4/18. The large coffee pot part is fine, but think the single cup pump was acting up. Could have been repaired but we just decided to replace. Love this coffee pot. Comes from home of coffee drinkers.

Works as expected

I got this to replace my Keurig because I got tired of spending a crap ton on K cups. Honestly best decision I have made. It brews coffee in a average time for both the pot and K cup side. It's not a noisy machine in the least. Coffee taste great. Easy to clean both internal and attachments. The one down side is if you are using the signal cup side it does take a few min longer to brew then the Keurig, that took some getting use to.

Not worth the money

Had this machine for 11 months, around six months the heating element got all rusted. On the tenth month the Pod side started acting up and not Brewing right. Now yesterday The pot side started pouring more water out the bottom of the machine than it was into the pot
