☕ Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Single-Serve Maker - 40 oz. Reservoir, Pods & Ground Coffee Compatible, 3 Brewing Options - Black & Silver (49948) Review

We ordered 2 or 3 Keurigs for our office and for some reason they didn't work properly. They clogged up or shut down after a very short time during the process. We were disappointed so we chose another brand. LOVE THIS CAR.

I really tried to love this thing but after the first K-Cup blast I had to understand that it was all over. Trying to live with it has resulted in too many wasting thousands of glasses, exploding coffee grounds and hot water on my counter (and mine once). I recommend buying a machine that presses directly onto the K-Cups - I think the 'folding' design causes some K-Cups to pierce through at odd angles, leading to this problem. In my experience, more constant downward pressure is the way to go.

So, let's get started. First the positives: I really like the basket which is designed for using your own coffee. I've had Keurig for years and it's been a pain to clean. In addition, I always had coffee residues on the bottom of the cup. I also like the ability to make a bold drink. Cleaning this product is very easy. Cons: Slow brewing. I can make my bed in the morning while waiting for it to be made. The receptacle that the cup rests on holds the minimum amount. If you forget to put your cup

Hot coffee even after adding cream! I don't like hot coffee. I always reheated the cream in the microwave, so I didn't drink it until it was cold. I use a metal travel mug that has plenty of room. Did I say it's hot?😊 It's so easy to make and takes a minute to wash. I like that I can use cups and my own soil. I really like the fresh water tank. I see that the water is clear. I figured you would use it 1 cup at a time. I'm small and I make a mess by pouring water. It doesn't take up much space.

This machine is ridiculous. We lost so much money because of broken K-cups. Even if you close it very gently, the aluminum top K-cups blow and the machine spews hot water and coffee grounds everywhere (from the top of the machine, where it closes, and down the spout). You've got a mess of hot water and coffee grounds to clean up, a wasted K cup and a retry so you're usually late trying to brew a cup on the go. If it works as advertised, be prepared for the brew to be noisy and last a few…

When the company name is upside down, this is one of those cases. One cup brewed amazing and it was my very first K cup thing ever, it was warm but not hot and smelled amazing. But then I tried again to remove the label. I won't be back unless things are really bad so I think an article from over a decade ago. I won't be sending it back either so I have to rate it right away because in a month I might hate this brewery no matter how good the coffee is. I really hope I have a decal that fits on…

For those of you who may have had an earlier model and wanted to make a 16 ounce cup with 1/4 cup of coffee like it was in my formula, this machine won't let you do that. Of course, the old machine stated that 14oz was the max and the max line for filter basket coffee was a lot less than 1/4c, but still it was manageable. However, I have a hack that allows you to use 1/4 cup of ground coffee. I just replaced the gray piercing pin portion and filter basket with mine from an older model. Now I…
