FlexBrew Single Serve Coffee Maker, Coffee Machine Compatible with Pod Packs and Grounds, Black Next Gen (49900)

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! ☕️

Nice basic coffee maker at half the price of the name brand. Using it daily, having no issues.

I really liked the multiple capabilities of this machine. I tried using pods, loose grounds in reusable pods, and ground beans in the included filter. Each approach has its advantages. Yesterday, however, the device started malfunctioning. It didn't cool down between uses. When I poured water into the reservoir, it was so hot that some of the water vaporized immediately into steam. I can still use it if I unplug it between uses, but I have to run it through two heating cycles. A little over half of the water pours through the grounds on the first try, then it shuts off. If I start it again, the rest of the water comes through. Oh, well, I guess I'll try another product.

Love my coffee maker. Easy to use and no wasted coffee since it makes one cup at a time

Do not purchase the Hamilton FlexBrew Single Serve Coffee Maker. I purchased on two months ago. From the start, I didn't think it made a great cup of coffee even using the bold setting but could live with it. A couple weeks ago when the coffee stopped brewing, I only had a quarter to a third of a cup of coffee. I'd start it again to try to get more in my cup. After Googling videos to troubleshoot the problem, I cleaned it with white vinegar and used a paper clip to be sure coffee grounds were not clogging any openings. Time to make coffee. I'm still having the problem. I called Hamilton Beach. They said it needed to be replaced, and they'll send me a new one. The catch is, I have to pay them $15 to ship it. I don't think so. I've only had it two months. If they can't pay to ship it to me, I'll switch to another manufacturer. Hamilton Beach lost my business.

It does well as a k cup brewer and the drip basket works better than any k cup adapter we have ever used. It can splash a little while it brews, but I can live with that.

I started using coffee grounds instead of the kcups and the main brand machine did a crap job. So I bought this one, and boy am I glad. The bold slow drip is awesome. The INCLUDED coffee grind pod is large and easy to clean. The machine itself is SUPER easy to clean, unlike the main brand machine I had. Water comes out nice and hot (I like my coffee on the hotter side). A little noisy but not crazy. I'd suggest buying this if your interested in using coffee grounds for single cup use.

I liked this coffee maker very much. Easy to use straight forward operation. worked great for then out of the blue it just stopped working and wont pump the water through any longer. I've had it about a year but still that's not good. its not clogged at all it just quit pumping. I would probably buy again but might try a different one not sure yet.

So much bet- works greater than kerig- when plugged which doesn't happen often it is so quick and easy to clean

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.

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

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.

I've had this coffee maker for about three weeks, and so far it's working well. Really like that you pour in the exact amount of water needed to make each individual cup of coffee. Very fast. My only concern will be whether it keeps working well for the long haul. At this point I would recommend this coffee maker to others.
