Review on Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio 2-Way Single-Serve Coffee Maker & Full 12-Cup Pot, K-Cup & Grounds Compatible, Combo, Black/Stainless by Shonda Smykle

I was very happy to buy this after reading the reviews but I thought these reviews can not be real or they were written by people who have never had a mug of ancestry. coffee in her life. I bought this after gifting my beloved 6 year old Cuisinart to my mom who loved it too. While I find K-cups wasteful, I decided I wanted a coffee maker with that option for guests, and I also wanted a thermograph, so that seemed perfect. Boy was I wrong. I quickly realized that I was spoiled by my old Cuisenart. First, the coffee maker arrived without a brew basket or filter. I had to run to Wal-Mart to find it. 2. Upon cleaning the machine, I found that there was no audible indication that the coffee was ready, which I was used to. 3. It just looks cheap. The buttons dangle, and although I ordered stainless steel, they felt like silver plastic. 4. no temperature control. My Cuisinart let me choose the temperature. Which leads to the fifth and most important problem. COFFEE IS NOT HOT! One of the key factors that motivated me to purchase this machine was someone saying the coffee was very hot (which brings me back to my fake review theory). My Cuisinart was so hot on maximum power that I poured in my cold cream from the fridge. it was still too hot to drink. This machine was barely hot without the cream, but with cold cream it came up to room temperature. This car was a huge headache and a waste of money. I returned it and went back to cuisinart, just got a newer model of the one i gave my mom, the 12 cup cuisinart coffee center coffee maker and the one shot brew i got today, and it's amazing. Don't waste time on this unless you want to buy extra things and have lukewarm coffee. .No seriously
