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

I love this coffee maker and coffee maker combo! Because there is no still water in the machine, it is very hygienic and bacteria-free, as is the case with most kcup machines. I have no problem with the 2 hour program as I like fresh coffee and usually finish it within that time. It takes 11 minutes to brew a full cup of coffee, which isn't bad at all, and a kcup takes around 4 minutes. Kcup produces as much water as I poured and it's very hot. You can use your own coffee for a cup or use kcup. The single cup is easy to clean and very convenient to use. That's all the perks of this coffee maker I have. Now the cons. When making coffee, there is no lockout switch to prevent the coffee from taking a cup like some coffee makers do. It has the usual filter stop when you pull out the coffee pot, but of course some still come out and dump the coffee on the stove. When closing the lid for the kcup variant, it's not that easy. You have to really push it, more than usual. Cleaning the pot is a bit difficult due to the many nooks and crannies it has due to the way the handle is attached to the pot. Other than that, it's definitely worth every penny. I've had the best of the Kuerig range and the new Ninja and this coffee maker excels. Definitely worth the price!
