FlexBrew 1 Cup Black Drip Coffee Maker with Removable Reservoir
Brew a cup of hot, delicious coffee with the FlexBrew Single-Serve Coffee Maker and enjoy the flexibility of 2 ways to brew. You can make up to 10 oz. of coffee with your favorite brand of pod (such as a K-Cup* pod) or up to 14 oz. of coffee with coffee grounds – the choice is yours. You’ll get every cup fast because it brews an 8 oz. cup in about 90 seconds. The FlexBrew Single-Serve Coffee Maker features a removable 50 oz. water reservoir, so you can brew up to 6 servings without refilling. No matter how you brew, you can adjust the strength and amount of coffee you make with bold and regular options and multiple cup sizes. Brewing with a pod lets you make an 8 or 10 oz. cup, and brewing with coffee grounds gives you the choice of 4 brewing sizes: 8, 10, 12 or 14 oz. Includes a convenient cup rest that holds a standard-size cup and is removable to let you brew into a 7-1/2 in. tall travel mug.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really was anticipating making coffee without a lot of work fixing a basket with ground coffee. So, I wanted to try using the pods. I enjoy a strong cup of coffee. This coffee maker could not make one for me. With the setting on 8oz. and on bold, it still only made weak coffee. Would be better with a 4oz. and a 6oz. setting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second FlexBrew product from Hamilton Beach. I also own the 3 in 1 Flex Brew Coffee Maker which allows me to also brew the carafe size (pot size) batch of coffee for when I am entertaining. I have already given the 3 in 1 Flex Brew a glowing review and it is right at home in my kitchen. I wanted something for my office so that I don’t have to go to the kitchen every time while I am working, so I got the FlexBrew Single-Serve Coffee Maker and it is right at home in my office.
I like using my own fresh ground coffee for that full-brewed taste, but when I don’t feel like measuring grinds into the small brew basket, I enjoy the convenience of dropping in a so called Kcup or Pod and snapping down the lid. I also like the that the water reservoir on the back of the brewer is large enough to make several of my large cups of coffee before refilling it. I can quickly refill it by pouring in a couple of bottled waters. Furthermore, I like the simple controls on the front. I always like to press the BOLD button first for that extra umph (strength) and then press the Size button anywhere from 8 to 14 ounces. I make a large tumbler of cafe au lait with my hot milk (microwave) and my sugar already in the cup, press the 12 ounce button, and it drips in the rich coffee and chicory. In less than a minute, a simple stir and I am enjoying my coffee without getting out of my desk chair. Did I mention that the size of the machine is so incredibly small that it takes up very little room whether you put it in your office or use it as your main machine in the kitchen. You will always be pleased with the taste of your favorite brew from cup to cup, whether ground or pod.

Now we can brew both pods and fresh ground with the same machine.
Living in a household where one prefers the quick, hassle free, no fuss way of brewing with pods. They can just pop one in, brew, and out the door to work.
Another enjoys a more leisurely cup of fresh ground so this little coffee maker fits the bill. I just fill the ground holder and pop that in.
Nice hot coffee while not holding warm water in a tank so it’s always brewing with fresh water which brewers recommend. It’s fast too. I didn’t expect it to be so fast since it always starts with fresh cold water.
Also has the option of a regular or bold brew which was a plus.
Nice compact size. Fits nicely on the counter but still holds up to 50 oz. water and the water tank is removable so it can easily be cleaned.
Not very noisy either.
Very happy with it.
One word of advice. Be sure to wash all the removable parts thoroughly with hot soapy water to remove the new plastic smell from the manufacturing process. Also run the brew cycle a bunch of times with plain water to rinse it out. Just like it’s recommended for all new products that will be used for food or drink.
