Question 1

can you buy paper filters to fit in this machine to help with sludge ?

Accepted Answer

I've been doing this 8 years WITH the same machine! I use Dasani water . OR You must use filtered water if you want your coffee maker to last over 8 years..OK PAPER FILTER just get the 2-4 cup size regular shape filter... 200 cost a couple bucks .Put it under the coffee scoop inside the screen filter. doesn't matter if it sticks out just put it in there mostly evenly don't waste time cutting it. .Then put the scoop coffee holder on top then add the amount of coffee you need in the scoop. I use 2 heaping tablespoons of coffee.. I add 16 oz of water. If you put a piece of tape over the little hole on the back of the machine you can use the a whole 16.9 oz bottle of water for your travel size mug.

Question 2

What is the difference between this one and the Hamilton Beach 49995 FlexBrew Single Serve Coffeemaker?

Accepted Answer

I do not know what the other Flexbrew is.  All I know is that the One Cup I purchased is for my 84 yr old mother and she loves it.  She wanted a pot that makes one cup of coffee at the time.  It took us about 6 cups to confirm the correct amount of coffee grounds and it was perfect for her and that is why I purchased it.  She loves it.

Question 3

What is the height from the drip tray to the nozzle? Would an 8" thermos fit under the nozzle comfortably?

Accepted Answer

I use a 30 oz Yukon tumbler that stands just under 8 inches with room to spare and if you remove the drip tray you get about another 1/2 inch.

Question 4

Is coffee it makes strong enough? Are there any deference when you using "bold" model? Just wondering a scoop or a keurig with reusable filter.

Accepted Answer

I am still unsung this machine after about a decade and I use about 2 tablespoon of single source ground beans and 11oz of water for a single cup. For my on the go mug I use closer to 3-4 tablespoons and 16 oz of water. The trick for better tasting is to let it sit for 10-20 minutes after brewing. It thickens a bit and tastes more bold. I also only use the bold brew button.
