I have always like perked coffee. Had to give it up. Now that they have improved Coffee Makers. I have looked at several coffee makers. Read a lot of reviews. I love how Hamilton Beach put a video on this coffee maker. It really helped me to decide that this is the one for me. Sam's was the cheapest on this Hamilton Beach FlexBrew. I really like having the option of making the one cup on the right. It is really nice to have the other side to make more coffee. At first I thought I was going to send it back because it was too high under my cabinet. My daughter advised me to just pull the maker out when filling it with water & adding coffee to the basket. Then I realized I could just scoot it back. That worked really well. It does take less coffee. The first time I use it, I put too much coffee. It really depends on how strong you like your coffee. Some like it real strong, some like it not so strong. My advise is to do a trial test the first time & go from there. It is really simple to use after you pay close attention to the video. It really is very pretty on my counter. Thank you Hamilton Beach for coming up with this coffee maker.

The Hamilton Beach FlexBrew 2-Way Coffee Maker makes excellent coffee whether it's a full carafe or a single K-Cup, (Delicious five star). I gave three stars overall for one reason that may not pertain to everyone, it does not have a removable water reservoir. If you have upper cabinets above your counter top you can not open and fill the water fixed reservoir so you have to lift it up to move it out to the edge of your counter. This machine is heavy, a removable water reservoir would make it perfect. Wb Niagara Falls NY

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.

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

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.

I purchased this coffee brewer two weeks ago. First I was disappointed that there were no filter in the box to use the pot. When I used the K cup for a single cup I ended up with a cup of coffee grinds. I then tried to use the single cup that was included in the package and again ended up with a cup of grinds. Not a great way to start the day. When reading the instruction booklet it states there may be a problem with some k cups and to use a different brand. That's going to be a real hassle to figure out what brands work or don't work with this product. When I purchased some filter to make a large pot the coffee was fine. Just can't use the k cup feature - which was a huge selling point for me. Will probably return this product.

Very slow brewing coffee pot. Both Kcup and Carafe sides. Tried setting up the Auto Brew for a certain AM time so its ready when i walk out the door but cant seem to get it to brew. Tried a few times, and from a few people, but all with the same results. Honestly if i still had the box, it would be returned. Was alot happier with just my Keurig (until it kicked the bucket after 3 years).

I bought one of these a few weeks ago... I wrote to you about the problems I was having with the single brew side... You sent me another one and it is doing the same thing... Here are a couple of photos of what they are doing... I will not buy another Hamilton Beach Coffeemaker...

This pot is working very well. It makes great coffee (I like it strong) and is reasonably fast, much faster than the old pot. It also does great as a single server maker, although not quite as fast as the name brand pot Kureg that we also have, but maybe 20-30 seconds slower.

One of the best coffee pots we've ever owned. The pot slides in and out on the burner very easily and it doesn't catch on anything. The separate coffee maker for one cup works wonderful. We would definitely buy it again.
