what our customer say this product:

1. Cole Verified Buyer – 30 June 2024

   Hamilton Beach has outdone themselves with this coffee maker. I have tried a hand full of others and they were fine. This maker is just better. The coffee tastes great and it doesn’t clog. It fills the cup up fast. If you are in the market for a single cup coffee maker, look no further.

   We bought the Hamilton Beach Gen 4 and love it! It’s easy to use, easy to clean and works great! The coffee is hot and tastes great, too! We use cold (from the fridge) bottled water. We rinse the pod holder after every use and make sure that there is nothing blocking the hole that the coffee comes out of and also rinse or carefully wipe off the top “needle” area if there are any grounds on it. We’ve had no problems with exploding pods or grounds in our coffee. We have used McCafe’ Premium roast decaf and Two Rivers Flavored decaf pods.

   While you can use both methods, I prefer to use the pods in this. The trick is to make sure you match the proper level of water to the cup that you’ll use for either method. I like the bold setting. This will crank up your motor.

   I got this due to the large water tank and making a full day’s worth of 8oz cups to keep me going. It works well and has the right buttons for the few thing you might change, love the ‘bold’ button. I did find the unit will put the whole coffee on your count top though. This seems to happen when using cheap Kpods that do not have the fiber filter bag inside to contain grounds and spices. It seems the apple cider, mocha and hot chocolate pods are cheap and no filter bag so they emit some contents out of the bottom thus plugging up the little hole in the main chamber that has the X grid things. Stuff hangs up and plugs this liquid exit and next pod you put in will not find the exit and fill the chamber to over flow. I will cut out that X thing so the hole is 1/4″ and won’t clog up with pod debris. Otherwise love the thing. Oh one more thing is the drip catcher is dumb? It’s an extension you put in for smaller mugs has some groves to ketch coffee leaking but has no holes to pass that liquid to a larger chamber, rater it fills up right away and slops all over too. This part could be redesigned to fix that. I drilled holes in it in the center and found a cup that fits inside and will hold several days of coffee drips, a great fix, I can empty into the sink. I will use my 3D-PLA printer to make a new proper part to hold drippings, easy enough…
   

5. Patrick Alloway Verified Buyer – 20 February 2025

   We decided to try the single cup version after having the carafe/single size Hamilton Beach combo coffee maker for several years. Cannot recommend this product, however. Coffee grounds get clogged in the water line opening very easily even after frequent recommended cleaning. The coffee is not as hot as the previous Hamilton Beach coffee makers we had either. We have also tried different brands of coffee k cups thinking it might be the size of the ground in the pod making the opening clog. Can’t return it because I didn’t keep the original package so will have to throw it away after using for only one month.

   I had the regular flex brew for years before it quit working
   I love this one because it’s smaller and you can use pods or grounds with it
   

7. Amber F Verified Buyer – 3 March 2025

   I’ve only been using this coffee pot for two weeks, one cup a day, it has already stopped working. Today all it did was make a loud noise and nothing ever came out.
   

8. James D. Hackney Verified Buyer – 6 March 2025

   I almost didn’t buy this because I’m not a huge fan of the size. There’s no mistaking it. This thing is big, and it doesn’t look as nice as some other units on the market. This thing is like the size of Bigfoot’s lower leg. However, I am VERY happy with it. It just works. The easily removable needle is an awesome design for cleaning if clogged. I have a Keurig that requires major surgery just to get to the needles. It takes about 5 seconds to have this needle out and under running water. The reservoir is a decent size. It would be perfect if it held about 10 more ounces, but then again, it’s already a big coffee maker as I said.
