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! ☕️

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

My other dual coffee maker retired without notice, so I ordered this unit, and luckily, Amazon 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 Amazon has the Best price for this coffee maker, so buy it Here!

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.

I will never buy Hamilton Beach products ever again! This coffee maker did not even last a year!! I used it three times a day and made a full mug of coffee. Additional water was heated in the microwave and then poured into the mug after brewing to fill the mug. A little tweaking and measuring gave me the right amount of coffee grounds to make it this way.When it worked, the coffee was as expected. However, not even a years worth of service left a bad taste in my mouth.For people who drink coffee in mugs, this this not for mug drinkers without doing the math and using a microwave to heat the additional water needed to make a full mug.Reader beware, this coffee maker lasted 8 months!!! JUNK!

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!

Not sure if this is new as it arrived with open and damaged packaging. The rod fell out when I first picked it up from my porch. The wrapping on the rod itself was open. I am keeping it although I'm not sure if I received a new one or not. It seems to work okay in my shower and seems sturdy enough and I like that it's not difficult to get it to fit correctly.

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.
