Review on Hamilton Beach 49979 FlexBrew Single-Serve Coffee Maker - Pod Packs and Grounds Compatible, Black & Chrome: Enhance Your Coffee Experience! by Donna Maupin

I got it 2 months ago for my wife to use at work and it works fine. It's little used so we don't need an internal tank like other Kcup machines that can go moldy if left unused for a long time. I read some reviews saying this pot doesn't work and you have to press the brew button multiple times to get a cup, but it was cheap enough so I ordered it anyway. About a month later my wife tells me the same story and thinks she's broken. According to the manual, the Kcup sensor must be cleaned in this case. Just a quarter turn of the probe releases it from under the cover. I used a paper clip to push out the dirt that was really packed inside. I had to push through the sides, down through the top, rinse and repeat a few times to wash it all out. Regular rinsing will prevent this from happening again.
