Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio 2-Way Coffee Maker, Compatible with K-Cup Pods or Grounds, Single Serve & Full 12c Pot, Permanent Gold-Tone Filter, Black & Silver

I bought this coffeemaker to replace the exact same one I’ve 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.

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.

I recently came back to coffee after a 7 year hiatus: quit smoking cold turkey, but could not have done it successfully by continuing to drink coffee; a smoke and a cup of Joe, done after 40+ years. When I decided to enjoy coffee again, since I didn't want to buy it by the cup during this pandemic, I ordered some coffee online and fired up my old drip coffee maker. Ugh, so bitter and not hot: guess the old machine just quit at some point over the years.But I digress: after an insane amount of time spent searching for the right type of coffee maker, I found this and thought, this will give me one side that I'm accustomed to, and the option to try the newfangled single cup pod/coffee option. And, while I haven't yet tried the single cup side (waiting for some pods to be delivered), I've found the carafe side pretty easy to use and with great results. Just one more thing: enhance your coffee experience and get a frother. It makes for a really nice coffee house flavor, and adds that coffee house experience without the expense and virus potential. I'm happy!

This is the second version of this coffee maker that we've bought - the first one hung in there for a good many years but the carafe water area top cover hinge broke so the cover flopped around and overall, the unit was looking pretty beat.They dressed this model up a little with some chrome trim around the base and some stainless in the area of the single cup brew. The chrome trim around the base was coming unstuck - the adhesive that they used to attach it wasn't holding the trim onto the base. I had to re-glue the trim to the base.Other than that, great features for a basic coffee maker, the ability to make a full carafe or a single cup. Makes a decent brew but nothing fancy...

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.

This is the second one of these for me. The first one leaked, I fixed it and then finally burned out on the pot brew side. So I took a chance on another one and so far NO leaks and really good coffee brewing. The single cup side also works very well. A word of caution, be sure to clean the bottom probe and keep it open or you will have coffee everywhere. I'll leave it up to you how I know this! Gets my vote of approval.

Purchased April 30, 2024. In early May 2025, the K-cup pump started malfunctioning (not pumping water through cup). Carafe side still works fine. Went through all the usual cleaning, de-scaling crap they tell you to do, but still no luck. Again, this is only DAYS over the 1-yr warranty from Hamilton Beach. So I email, sending all the required info. One week later "Tron" at HB Customer Service FINALLY sends me an email saying they can offer me a coupon toward a new appliance or part, but only from the HB website. I do that, and find the coupon is a LOUSY $18 after I spent $143.06 and one year of use. That doesn't cut it Hamilton Beach.

This is my first purchase ever of a single cup/multiple cups coffee maker. I actually did not receive this model, the one I ordered, but a different model. I was very disappointed initially, but as soon as I contacted the seller they immediately refunded me a substantial portion of the cost, so I decided to keep it. I’m very happy with this coffee maker. I enjoy the fact that I can brew one cup or an entire carafe. You don’t have to buy expensive Kcups because it comes with a single basket for ground coffee, or you can use Kcups if that’s what you prefer. I have brewed the carafe, the single cup,& the Kcup & they all taste delicious! I especially love the bold brew option. I highly recommend this coffee maker.
