Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Advanced 5-in-1 Programmable 12 Cup Drip and Single Serve Hot & Iced Coffee Maker with Movable 60 oz. Water Reservoir, Use Pod Packs and Grounds, Fast Brewing, Black (49924)

I gave my mother-in-law the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Advanced 5-in-1 Coffee Maker for Christmas, and it was an absolute hit! She's been raving about it ever since, and I'm so happy it's made her mornings (and afternoons!) so much brighter.Here's what she (and I!) love about it:* The Ultimate Versatility:* The 5-in-1 functionality is incredible! She loves being able to brew a full 12-cup pot for when the whole family is over, but also has the option for a quick single-serve cup with pods or grounds. It's truly the best of both worlds.* Hot and Iced Perfection:* The fact that it makes both hot and iced coffee is a game-changer! Especially for someone who enjoys a variety of coffee drinks. She has been enjoying her iced coffees, and says it is so easy to make.* Easy to Use and Programmable:* The programmable feature is a lifesaver for busy mornings. She can set it up the night before and wake up to the delicious aroma of freshly brewed coffee. And, she says it is very easy to use.* Movable Water Reservoir:* The movable 60 oz. water reservoir is so convenient. It makes filling and cleaning a breeze, and it's a feature she appreciates every day.* Fast Brewing:* She mentioned how fast it brews. Speed is always appreciated in the morning.* Sleek Design:* The black design looks modern and stylish on her countertop. It's a nice addition to her kitchen.Seeing how much she enjoys it has made it the perfect Christmas gift. It's not just a coffee maker; it's a daily dose of convenience and deliciousness. If you're looking for a versatile and user-friendly coffee maker, the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Advanced 5-in-1 is a fantastic choice!

HORRIBLE! ZERO STARS! Almost every time you use a pod you get grounds. Not just a few, but the entire bottom of the cup. I have cleaned, I have descaled, I have cleaned the needle, I have used different pods, I have used my own coffee with a reusable pod. Nothing corrects the problem. I bought the machine at the end of January and it worked well for about a month or two and then progressively has gotten worse with noise and grounds. Stick to a Keurig or other brand (I had a Bunn that did pods) that knows coffee. Oh! and customer support at Hamilton Beach... The link to message doesn't show up and it says to correct the cookie setting. I did. I even used a different browser. Still no help so I had to send them an email for customer support. No phone number, but the website shows Mexico has a phone number. I then checked Amazon's info on them and there is a phone number - great, right?... No you call and it is a recording of a guy that sounds like he is in a bathroom and tells you to visit the website for support - which, again, is just an email! Stay away from Hamilton Beach products if you need to contact someone for support. Bunn and Keurig have live people to talk to!Update 5/7- Sent two more emails- still no support. BUY A DIFFERENT PRODUCT!

Awesome machine. Great price compared to other machines. Makes it better that you can use it for k-cups and make a full 12-cup pot of coffee. Additional feature to make a single cup using ground coffee is cool as well. Easy to use and clean. Great size to fit on countertop. The bold feature is awesome and makes the coffee much better. The smell alone wakes me up.

So watched a video review of this unit prior to purchase. One quote was that the unit felt "plasticity" which made it feel cheap. It's made of plastic so...I'll leave it at that. The biggest issue I've run into with this unit is the lid (Plastic!) for the water tank and the inability to properly remove it and dropping it in the container. Had the same problem with the expensive Keurig it replaced. Remove the lid, drop it in the tank, curse, fill tank and then make java. Another "video reviewer" mentioned it was too loud while running a K-cup disturbing their quiet morning. In our household the amount of colorful language after dropping the lid while filling means it's time to get up. Quiet morning...how quaint.

We used this brand of coffee at a VRBO and had to have it. I love the slim design of the coffee maker and was able to replace a traditional drip coffee maker and Keurig with this all in one product. The brew time is a little slower, but for a great tasting cup of coffee it is absolutely worth the wait. This makes a much better tasting pot of coffee than my traditional drip coffee maker. I believe it has to do with the speed, but can't confirm. I just know it is a great cup of coffee. The K-cup section also works and is reasonable fast. You can make up to a 14 oz cup of coffee. The water canister is pre-installed on the back but we found that it was kind of a pain to refill so we were easily able to switch it to the side of the coffee maker and it is now much more accessible and easier to fill. It was a piece of cake to switch, just don't try like I did to remove any screws. Everything just un-clicks and moves appropriately. No tools necessary!I saw other all-in-one coffee makers that were double and triple the cost, but feel this is reasonably priced and a great value for your money! Time for the upgrade to an all in one and regain some of that counter space back!
