Hamilton Beach 49976 Flex brew 2-Way Brewer Programmable Coffee Maker, Black

Excelente cafetera, gran calidad de material, programación fácil e intuitiva, un gran acierto el que se pueda realizar una preparación de manera individual (consideren que las capsulas compatibles para esta cafetera solo se pueden conseguir en línea ya que aquí en México no se encuentran y las demás marcas no son compatibles), sin embargo, el accesorio para poner café molido de tu preferencia te saca de ese apuro, sin duda la recomiendo 100%

We're so happy with this coffee maker. After years of spending around $60 on a Black and Decker type carafe coffee machine that only lasts a year, we decided to invest in a better one. We're so happy with it, it delivers good HOT coffee and the single serve works for Keurig cups and your own blend (comes with two filters for these purposes). You can even use both to make tea. They have seperate water reservoirs. Very happy!

Without naming the other brand I’m comparing this Hamilton flex brew trio. The other brand was very expensive $200+. This was $80. Other brand had a carafe that no matter how carefully you poured the coffee it spilled everywhere and made a mess. Hamilton is well designed and no mess pouring. I’ll start with the bad which is not bad but I would prefer the display to be brighter or able to adjust. In my opinion that is the only bad thing and I wouldn’t even say it’s a bad thing. It is easy to set up the clock, make coffee in the carafe or single serve. For the carafe all you do is pour the water in the carafe side for the amount of coffee you want. Ex if you want 10 cups you pour water to the 10 cup line if you want 12 cups you pour water to the 12 cup line. Put the amount of coffee to you preference in a filter and press Brew. Easy as that. Same as the single serve. I use a measuring cup with a spout for the single serve. I put the amount of water in the cup I’m using for the single serve in to the spouted measuring cup then pour it in the water side for single serve. This keeps the water from going everywhere from using the mug. Put any brand of pod (K cup or generic can be used unlike the other expensive brand). Press the single serve button and brew. You have a delicious cup of coffee. Or you can use the filtered basket that comes with the set and use your ground coffee in that. I’ve tried all three. Very easy and versatile. I was concerned after reading some of the reviews about the temperature of the coffee. The coffee is very hot with all three ways of brewing. It has a two hour shut off timer for the carafe. While the carafe is on the burner it stays very hot all two hours. Very pleased with the temperature it stays at. If I’m needing it to stay on longer than the two hours I don’t add more water but push the brew button again and it resets the timer. WARNING I do not know if this is bad for the Hamilton but I have not had any problems doing this. It is very easy to set the program timer. Just press and hold the clock button until it blinks 1900 then set the program time as preferred. You only need to do this once if you’re going to leave it at the same time every day. So if you want it to brew 5:00am set the program timer for that. Set up the coffee carafe side and press program and it’s set. You cannot set the timer program for the single serve but I couldn’t with the other brand either. Not a big deal or dealbreaker. All three brewing ways take a little bit longer to brew but not much at all. Again not a deal breaker. For all the Hamilton has to offer at a very affordable price compared to a couple minutes with the very expensive one I don’t mind. And if you set the program timer the couple minutes don’t matter. The Hamilton seems very durable and well designed. My only regret was I did not buy this long ago. But I’m glad I bought the other expensive one then this Hamilton affordable one. Proves by experience money doesn’t always buy quality. If needed I would buy this Hamilton over the other(s) any day!!!!!

Llegó muy rápido, buena calidad y función amuy bien. Pensé que era más pequeña pero me sorprendió la cafetera.

I purchased this product and ended up returning due to a way better price on Walmart's site. All that being said this product is amazing. We use it multiple times a day and love the variability it gives with its two brewing options. Highly recommend purchasing this product if you're currently working from home and looking for the variety of coffee you've been missing.
