   I recently had to replace my coffee maker. The one I had was a dual use maker; it could be used for single serve or for brewing a pot of coffee. It’s need for replacement was due to my own negligence – long story. It too was a a Hamilton Beach product and had served me well.
   When I started investigating for a newer coffee maker, Hamilton Beach was my first choice to look at. I needed a smaller size that wouldn’t take up too much space on the counter. I also wanted it to brew a delicious cup of mug of coffee. My search brought me to this slimmer single serve maker. What attracted me was that it would accommodate my single serve pods or I could use the included option of brewing a cup using ground coffee. This insert could also be used to brew fresh tea using ground tea leaves. This was perfect since I usually only drink one cup of coffee in the morning , but like to brew various teas for other occasions.
   My only problem was the amount it could brew each time. It cannot brew more than a 14 oz swing at a time. If you over fill the water reservoir, the water starts dribbling out before you can get your mug in place. I was more used to a 16 oz mug, so it took a few times to get my timing correct or having to get a new mug.

   Bought as a mother’s day after my non coffee drinker self bought my mom a bag of ground coffee beans from Costa Rica instead of instant coffee LOL In my defence it looks the same. Anyways love the versatility she can use it to make ground coffee as well as the kcups. I recently got the Tim Hortons French Vanilla pods and it works great. We use boiled water that is refrigerated and it make it hot. Very quick and relatively quiet compared to the sounds of a boiling kettle that I am used too. Visiting family members also enjoyed using the machine, very simple to operate and clean. Hope the price is reflected in the longevity of the machine. I recently bought the cleaning pods, as I saw other reviews suggested using a cleaning pod once a month.

   Better than instant coffee but still lacks extraction. However, I did not try using Kcup pods. The problem is with the coffee grounds basket. I would suggest for future models to simply scrap the coffee grounds basket and replace it with a reusable Kcup pod (preferably in stainless) that has pre-drilled enter and exit holes that woul fit in the Kcup basket. This will surely create good extraction without having to resort to polluting plastic Kcups.

   Update: April 2025 (2 months later)

   I reordered the product – it is the only single serve from Hamilton Beach and I really want to stick with the brand this one came in a plastic sealed box, which was taped, in a cardboard protect that was sealed, it was a total different coffee maker, I am now convinced the last one was not the correct one, I am so completely satisfied with the product so far

   I love Hamilton Beach, my previous coffee maker is still going strong (7 years and counting) I just wanted something with the single serve as I no longer need a pot attachment. This one is advertised as a 14oz compacity but it only fills up 12 – even the box it came in said 12 oz but the ad says 14oz so that was very disappointing, I had to return it and unfortunately give it a one star review for false advertisement.

   My other dual coffee maker retired without notice, so I ordered this unit, and luckily, coffeemakers.us.com delivered quickly! Took a moment to figure out how to start it, as the button is on the side, and not raised, so you have to be sure to look to make sure you are choosing your brew strength, each time. This accepts my recyclable soft pods easily, makes a cup of hot coffee, very quickly. The well for water is not large enough for my bigger coffee cup, but makes a good cup full, in a normal sized cup. No extra bells or whistles, but does not take up much counter space, and works well, and coffeemakers.us.com has the Best price for this coffee maker, so buy it Here!

   I bought the Hamilton Beach 49900 FlexBrew to replace two big-name brand coffee makers that broke within a year, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! This coffee maker is strong, reliable, and does the job without all the frustration.

   Why I Love It:

   ✔ Great value – It brews just as well (if not better) than those expensive options but at a fraction of the price.
   ✔ Versatile – It works with both K-Cups and ground coffee, which gives me the flexibility I need.
   ✔ Reliable – It’s been going strong, no issues so far, and it’s been months.
   ✔ Simple to use – The setup is easy, and it brews quickly every time.

   I’m so glad I made the switch to the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew. It’s solid, dependable, and delivers a perfect cup of coffee every morning. Highly recommend if you’re tired of constantly replacing expensive brands! ☕️

   Terrific! And the “do it yourself” coffee basket is brilliant. Having gone through two Keruig machines that crapped out in the past year, I have decided that modern appliances under $150 are pretty much cheap junk, sadly. So I bought the extended warranty on this one. I hope this will be the exception! As I said, it works great. The coffee is excellent. Long live the Hamilton Beach!

   I loved it at first, but I bought it in June and after that now in November, it does not brew. I tried everything. The manual says it’s still not working.

   My mom is really enjoying this machine. We’ve probably gone through three Nespresso machines in the past, and all of them ended up breaking down. Dealing with Nespresso customer service was always frustrating, which made it even worse. That said, this machine has been a breath of fresh air. It’s simple, reliable, and does exactly what you need without the hassle. If you’re looking for something straightforward and easy to use, this is definitely a solid choice.

    Cette Cafetière est géniale et à très bon prix, parfaite pour moi. Elle contient 2 modes d’infusion ,j’aime beaucoup, elle est compatible avec les dosettes et le café moulu.
    Mais je donne une note de 4/5 car au début elle avait une drôle d’odeur dans l’emplacement où on met l’eau. Cela donnais aussi un drole de gout . Petit truc, J’ai mis un peu de vinaigre blanc, un bouchon et J’ai fait couler l’eau à plusieurs reprises. Part la suite , j’ai ajouté un peu d’essence de vanille pour éliminer le goût du vinaigre. Voilà

    perfect coffemaker! I wanted one with bold brew option, and it’s just my husband and I so the single brew is great, just pour water into the resevoir,put in your pod , click shut and hit bold. done in 2 minutes and it was delicious. shuts off when done. I love everything that Hamilton Beech makes. It is a great product
