Hamilton Beach (49954) FlexBrew 2-Way Coffee Maker Reviews

I had this unit 6 month and it started to leak, I took the bottom plate off and can see the reason the hose with the check valve it it is crack , IF i could find the replacement hose i could fix it but didn't find anything on the internet. or Hamilton beach web sites. Will not buy any of their product again this thing wasn't cheap.

We love this coffeemaker she loves kcups and I love it out of the pot so this is perfect for the two of us! Makes a great tasting pot of coffee everytime and the features are amazing! We were so happy to get rid of two machines and save counter space by having a two in one to meet both our needs! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I am so very pleased with the FlexBrew! My biggest pet peeve about coffeemakers is that the coffee never comes out piping hot and I end up microwaving a cup for 20 seconds before it is my preferred temperature. This does not happen with the FlexBrew, I am completely satisfied with how hot the coffee is. Additionally, there is no leaking from the carafe when pouring. The coffee brews pretty quickly and the lack of beeping to signal when brewing is complete is another plus in my eyes. The controls are very easy to use, and programming is super simple. I definitely recommend the FlexBrew, as it surely delivers! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Hamilton Beach 2 Way FlexBrew is perfect for brewing for one or more people. I absolutely love this Flexbrew. I can brew myself a cup whenever I want throughout the day without making a whole pot. I can also brew hot cocoa for my Grandson when he wants it and just make one cup and it does not go to waste. It is so easy to use either the coffee pot side with carafe or the single brew side with pods or ground coffee. It is even easier to clean up, just remove the parts and clean with soap and water and put back together. It is also a space saver so that you don't need two different machines because this one does it all. It is programmable with a digital clock, pause and serve, 2 different brew settings, 2 hour shutoff and comes with the 12 cup carafe and single serve cup for pod and one for single brew basket. Also comes with removable cup rest so that you can use a taller cup for single brewing and removable drip tray for easy cleaning of all parts. Hamiliton Beach thought of everything with they made this 2 way FlexBrew. I highly recommend the Hamilton Beach 2 Way FlexBrew for single and/or family use!

I was looking for a coffeemaker that would brew full pots of coffee as well as single serve cups. This 2 way flexbrew does just that and is a nice compact design. I really like small appliances and keep them out on the counter so that they are easy accessible. Not only is this a nice size it brews delicious coffee in the carafe as well as the single serve size. I really like that not only can you make a bold flavored carafe of coffee but you can also make a bold single serve from a purchased pod or your own single serve ground coffee.

Well I waited a whole year before I get to write a review on any products that I buy. When we first bought it everything was fine after three months later we started to realize that the coffee wasn’t getting hot. So we took it back and got another one, Now five months later it did it again cough is not getting hot. So it’s letting me know that is the brand and the coffee maker that is not properly working

I've had it 1yr was an anniversary present. Has started to leak on the counter, coffee is not as hot don't know what's happening! I'm so disappointed. My kids wanted to buy me a Keurig but I didn't want them to spend so much now I wish I had. In the pic you can see the water on the counter.

I received the Hamilton Beach 2 Way FlexBrew to Test. I love the choice to either make a 12 cup pot or a single brew option! I can use either Ground Coffee or a K-Cup. This has programs, timer & brew strength options. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I absolutely love this machine, I have the option of brewing a whole pot of coffee or just one cup of coffee. Some days all I want is just a cup of coffee and I don’t want to have to wash a whole pot out just because I made one cup of coffee. This is the fantastic machine it works great and i look foward to many, many mornings , afternoons, and evening cups of coffee

We bought this thinking it solved our problem with me and my wife preferring two strengths of coffee and one of us taking a mug to work with us but after 2 months everything seem to break down on this FlexBrew. The pods were too small a serving for either of us so we used either the carafe side or the brew basket which is hard to clean due to the very fine screen and hard to find to replace. The fast injection of hot water will cause coffee to shoot out the top and leak all down the front if it's not 100% clean and unclogged. The water fill lids warp over time and won't shut all the way. If your like us and have it against a wall you will have to pull it out as the narrow water reservoirs in the back are hard to fill without spilling water everywhere. The carafe side is a lot slower brewing than any other coffee makers we've ever owned but we noticed it takes about 25% less coffee than the single serve side. For those using K-cup pods of cappuccino or hot chocolate, you'll notice a weak flavor as 1/4 to 1/3 of the product is left in the pods and it's better to just rip open the tops and dump it into hot water and stir. It doesn't happen all the time and could be because of poor shelf life of the product.

I thought I was a Keurig lifer. However recently I started missing the option to set my brew for the morning when I woke up and having a big pot to last me in the morning on the weekends. I know Keurig offers the Carafe but it honestly doesnt hold that much. So fast fwd, I purchased this one after extensive research. As a person who loves coffee and tea and not as a online reviewer asked to review these products because I got them for free, I am completely satisfied with my purchase. So much that I am selling my Keurig and will never look back. The pod to brew your own coffee on the single serve side is nice and roomy so I dont struggle to empty the spent grinds. The pot holds so much coffee that I cant possibly drink that much so I brew half a pot. At first it's going to seem like the single serve side takes a long time to brew, however it's just sucking up the water for the first time and really there is no difference between Keurigs time and this ones time. I even brewed both at the same time to make sure. I love having hot coffee when I wake up and not having to make a cup while sleepy eyed and wait for it. It is bulkier than I'm used to but to be honest the 2 in one machine makes up for its gerth. I will never go back and that's the honest truth. Plus Keurig can cause sinus issues because it grows bacteria in places the cleaning solution and you cannot reach. Some of you might be reading this to see if you can make a single serve cup while brewing a pot and the answer is no. However you can stop brewing, make a single serve cup on that side, then resume brewing the pot. It really is a win win.
