Hamilton Beach 49900 FlexBrew Single-Serve Coffee Maker Compatible with Pod Packs and Grounds, Black

Bought as a mother's day after my non coffee drinker self bought my mom a bag of ground coffee beans from Costa Rica instead of instant coffee LOL In my defence it looks the same. Anyways love the versatility she can use it to make ground coffee as well as the kcups. I recently got the Tim Hortons French Vanilla pods and it works great. We use boiled water that is refrigerated and it make it hot. Very quick and relatively quiet compared to the sounds of a boiling kettle that I am used too. Visiting family members also enjoyed using the machine, very simple to operate and clean. Hope the price is reflected in the longevity of the machine. I recently bought the cleaning pods, as I saw other reviews suggested using a cleaning pod once a month.

I LOVE THIS MACHINE! It’s so easy to use, works better than the previous model, takes up very little space on my counter, and the coffee is more delicious than the previous model. It isn’t super loud, but it does make a little noise. I love the bold and regular options on the side of the machine because if I need a bolder cup, it makes it perfectly. I highly recommend this machine. Plus it’s affordable compared to similar single cup machines.

I bought this machine for my mom to replace a large 10-cups + Keurig machine. What a difference! She says the coffee tastes amazingly good, both the pod and the ground coffee ones. It does not use a lot of water, which is a stark difference from the other larger machine that had to be filled by 1+ liter of water to render one cup of coffee. It is easy to use, cleans fairly well. No regrets with this purchase!

I recently bought a water cooler to go in my workshop wood shop, so of course I needed a coffee maker as well. I ordered a different unit that failed when I tried to make my third cup of coffee. I found the Hamilton Beach single serve coffee maker , and we had used Hamilton Beach before so I'm giving it a try. It's great! It holds our standard size cup of coffee , what's the other one did not. It also has the Bold option which is what I make my coffee with every time. It worked the first time flawlessly, and being a big coffee drinker I'm really running it through its paces. It's just the right size to sit on top of my water cooler, so it doesn't take up space in my shop. I know I can trust it's reliability and I'm enjoying having this luxury at my fingertips anytime I want to brew a cup. I would strongly recommend it to anyone in my situation, and I'm sure it would make the perfect travel companion as well.

I've had this coffee maker for about three weeks, and so far it's working well. Really like that you pour in the exact amount of water needed to make each individual cup of coffee. Very fast. My only concern will be whether it keeps working well for the long haul. At this point I would recommend this coffee maker to others.
