Hamilton Beach 49995 FlexBrew Single Serve Coffeemaker + Coffee Pod Stand + Stoneware Coffee Mug Set



I have had so much coffee today!!!!
This item arrived way before it was schedule to. It was well packaged. The mugs that come with it are a perfect size for a coffee drinker. I ordered some variety packs of pods to try, and they arrived as well today, so I have been drinking coffee all day. I may never sleep again, but this coffeemaker is awesome. It costs so much less then the keurig brand, yet it offers the flexibility for you to use regular ground coffee. It is easy to use. It comes with a quick start guide, and I had my first cup within minutes of opening the box. It is really simple: put the water in, put the pod in, put the cup under the dispenser, push the handle down, press start. The cup stand pops out so you can put a taller cup in, or ice filled glass if you want to make iced coffee or tea. If you are looking for a pod-brewing coffeemaker, this one is awesome!

Okay Here's an update:

I've had this coffee maker for nearly a year now and I still love it! I use it all the time...

Its ok
I wanted a K-cup brewer and I thought this would be a cheaper way to get one. The machine works ok. It can only brew about 8-10 oz of coffee at one time. The machine also comes with a filter for coffee grounds so you can brew your own instead of k-cups. The cups are actually pretty nice.

Temperamental
This coffee maker is good, the coffee is as good as the k-cup put in. One thing I have noticed though is that different brands of k-cup really make this thing a pain in the butt. Sometimes they work just fine other times it will over flow ( not because of too much water, mind you. We have read the booklet up and down and noticed we only have trouble with two brands so far). The water is very hard here we live and that also causes the machine to clog after one use with sink water so we have to use filtered water for all coffee. I know hard water takes a toll on appliances but I didn't expect it to be that finicky. It works, so it gets three stars. If I could have looked into the future before buying this I would have spent more for a better one. The cup holder is durable and mugs were very thick.
