This coffee maker is great! We love having the option to make single serve or a carafe, and the coffee is always tasty with a decent brewing time. It does take up a bit more space, but worth it if you use both sides. We have had this machine for a few years now and it still works as good as new.

I recently purchased the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio 2-Way Coffee Maker and I have to say, I’m incredibly impressed with this product. The ability to make a single cup of coffee or a full pot is so convenient, it’s perfect for households with multiple coffee drinkers, and incredibly within budget!One of my favorite features of this coffee maker is the flexibility it provides. I love that I can use my own coffee grounds with the single serve side or use a K-Cup pod for even more convenience. The reusable mesh filter that comes with the coffee maker is also a nice touch, as it helps to reduce waste and saves money on buying disposable filters.Another standout feature of this coffee maker is how easy it is to use and clean. The control panel is intuitive and easy to navigate, and the removable brew basket makes cleaning a breeze. I also appreciate that the carafe is dishwasher safe, which makes cleaning up after a full pot of coffee much easier.The coffee maker can be programmed to start a pot in the morning, or I can pre-load a K-Cup the night before, ready up my mug and with a single button press have a hot drink within minutes!Overall, I highly recommend the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio 2-Way Coffee Maker to anyone looking for a versatile, convenient, and easy-to-use coffee maker. It’s a great investment that will provide delicious coffee for years to come.

Talking about the overall design of this brew station is excellent. Easy to access from pouring in the coffee to the water to setting it up for a single cup or the carafe. Iâve only utilized the âboldâ setting and very much enjoy the quality and the robust flavour of the brewed coffee. There are two factors that for me make it a 4 star rating instead of a 5. First is the design of the filter holder for the coffee grounds in the carafe section. It is more challenging to clean as the grounds never dry out given the fact the bottom of the filter basket is solid, is no drainage holes. Itâs designed is good for flavouring the coffee but sadly not for the clean up. The other issue is the temperature of the freshly coffee in the carafe. There is no ability to adjust the temperature of the carafe contents after brewing and I often find the temperature of the freshly brewed coffee a little low for my liking. Not show shoppers but if they were able to address these I would easily give it six stars out of five. We are very pleased with the single serving portion of the coffee maker. Excellent taste and a very nice Crema on asingle mug of coffee. I really appreciate the ability to select how big a cup I want to have on the single portions by pouring in the amount of water versus having the machine decide how much water to utilize. Great design feature!. Pleased with the product and recommend.

A friend without prime did research and had me buy him one of these.Fast forward a few years and my Keurig died on me, and I was in the market for another machine.This can brew up to 12 cups of coffee on one side of the machine.And it can brew K-Cup single serve pods on the other side.Each side has it’s own single use water reservoir, with an amount indicator.The coffee pot side has a gold basket insert, so you don’t need filters.Dumping the used coffee grinds might be easier with a filter, but then not needing to buy them is nice too.Pressing the I/O (brew/power) button without water in the coffee pot side has the hot plate (stay warm function) enable for another couple of hours.The coffee pot side can be programmed to start your pot at whatever time of day you’d like.Just pre-fill the water level and of course the amount of coffee into the gold basket.The single serve side can take any K-Cup.Beneath the shelf for a cup/mug is a storage bit.Inside that is a pocket for using ground coffee, if you prefer one cup of coffee but don’t want to use a K-Cup.The machine is a little louder than my Keurig was, and it takes a little longer to brew.Not massively so, but noticeably.The coffee is definitely warmer than the Keurig machine.Without cream it would be too hot to drink immediately, but with just a little cream it is drinkable but on the hot side.Either side has the option for regular or bold brew.Aside from the toggle (between single serve or carafe), one set of controls runs the entire machine.I’ve only been using it for a few weeks, but it feels sturdy and well made.Much more solid than my Keurig machine felt.I agree with my friend, that this is a great machine.They’ve had theirs for four years and are still using it on a daily basis.

Great, versatile coffeemaker
I bought this coffeemaker to replace the exact same one Iâve had for years. I looked at other coffee makers, but none had the versatility of this one. You can make a pot in the morning and have a single cup later in the day. I like adding the water to the machine before each use instead of having it just sit there in a reservoir. In the single serve area, you can use ready-made K cups, or you can use your own ground coffee in the special container that is included. You can fill a mug or even a travel cup. My only complaint was that the coffee maker I received did not come with the reusable coffee filter that was shown in the picture.

Better than expected!
After reading the reviews I expected a few issues but ordered anyway since had all the features I wanted. Pleasantly surprised that its an excellent product. Easy to use, great instructions, boxed well, makes great coffee and somewhat compact for the all the options. The only thing I wish it had was removal water containers. Other than that its great.

Makes one hell of a cup of coffee!!!!
It was delivered on time and just about everything that the seller said it would have except for one filter and the seller within a few minutes gave me a $10 credit for the missing filter. ….No arguments no hassle…. The seller was easy to work with and quick to resolve any issues …Would definitely do business with them again… The coffee maker makes one heck of a great cup of coffee and I absolutely love it…. Great value for the money.

Note: Plastic carafe. Fits under counter until you open the lid.
Other than the two items above it is an excellent coffee maker. I have to pull it out from under the counter to lift the lid for the water and the coffee. You need paper filters, which I found I actually like. I get a lot less grounds in the coffee. I really love having the choice of single or carafe or pod. It works very well.

Why I Stuck With FlexBrew
***Preliminary** First cups down this morning on carafe side. This is my third Hamilton Beach FlexBrew. That in itself may sound negative, but each of the first two lasted approximately 10 years each. In the age of ‘modern electronics’ of this nature is probably pretty good. This new version seemed to already address a couple of minor changes I might have liked with the old units. This model is more convenient, more sleek, and eliminated a couple of flaws–ease in cleaning, programming clarity, and eliminates the problematic switching between carafe and Kcup mode. The switch out of the Kcup and ground coffee pods on the Kcup side is easier. It has a convenient self storage area for the Kcup grounds pod. I have yet to brew a Kcup. Eliminating the ‘selector switch’ is eliminated due to the dual water reservoirs. The display is brighter and much improved. Some elements are the same, or almost identical–carafe and brew basket. I know it’s early, and still have to become more familiar with both Kcup and Kcup grounds side, all of which I use, depending on my situation. I no longer travel, normally brew a few cups, but occasionally wish to only brew a singe Kcup (flavored or cocoa etc.) which suits my needs. I still have to pull unit from under cabinet to fill water, but I’m used to that…this enables me to more accurately pour the water without spilling. My initial impression (n=1 pot) is very good. I will update with any meaningful changes or additons to this review.

Best coffee maker we’ve ever owned.
Love this thing. Owned many different coffee makers. This is the best we owned. It does take a bit longer than usual to brew. And that is when using standard mode. Bold would take even longer. But if you’re patient, it’s not that bad. Display is nice and crisp. We use the single serve, the whole pot carafe, and Kcup. We make tea, loose tea, instant coffe, and ground coffe (single serve and pot). So I’ve used pretty much all of its features. Works fine without a hitch. Had it for a number of months so far and no issues. Parts dissasemble for easy dishwasher cleaning. Coffee and tea comes out great. This replaced our old coffee maker and electric tea kettle. Loose tea comes out wonderful. Sometimes we make tea from tea bags. Coffee comes out fine as well. Even use Kcup too. It uses any style of KCUP, generic as well. Simple to use as well. Just fill the resevoire with the amount you need each time you use the coffee maker and that is the amount that will come out. I prefer this to the ones where you have to choose a pre-determined size since mugs vary. This way you have your own choice of how much comes out. Really versatile and will generally replace most of your coffee and tea needs for most people.
