Title: Puts High-Priced Coffee Makers to Shame
Review: It is by far the best coffee maker I ever purchased. I have purchased very expensive coffee makers in the past. Believe me that expensive doesn't mean better. I originally didn't have high expectations, given that it was a Hamilton Beach. However, I was totally wrong. Whether it's making a pot of coffee or a single serve is cup, the coffee always tastes great. I do use the single serve most of the time, given that I live alone. It never disappoints and it's so simple to use. The water reservoir is great and easy to fill. I also love that you can choose the cup size from 8 to 14 oz. The expensive products I have had in the past are complicated to use. This doesn't have all of the frills, which I don't need or want. The best coffee maker I have ever purchased. I am very fussy about my coffee -- I highly recommend.

Title: Brews Fast. K-Cup Feature To Brew A Single Cup At A Time is Very Useful.
Review: So far, this Hamilton Beach coffee maker has worked perfectly, and it's extremely easy to use and program. Plus, the brew cycle is faster than our old coffee maker. One of the reasons I purchased this particular coffee maker is because of the FlexBrew options. We use the carafe in the morning because we drink a fair amount of coffee then. But, it's pretty convenient to be able to brew just one cup after the carafe is empty. And, if you donât have any pods on hand, you have the extra option of using your normal ground coffee and a special small basket (that comes with the coffee maker) to make that one cup. You can also set your brew strength from regular to bold. It has a delay brew and an auto shut off after two hours, along with the usual pause and serve for the carafe side. With flex options, it does take up a fair amount of room on your counter, but I would recommend this coffee maker.

Title: 2 broken in one year.
Review: 9/2024. Well the second one broke exactly like the first. It would seem the k-cup side has an issue with intake of water. Both started to make loud noises before the first one started dumping water out the back and stinking of burnt plastic. The second wouldn't even dump water but lasted 8 months longer. AvoidOriginal reviw: Originally we bought the metal carafe but the keurig side broke and started pooling water under the machine and out the cord port. This is really the same machine. Below is my review for the other machine. All in all its the same except for the glass carafe and the heating element. I am enjoying those two things more. I like the glass carafe because it doesn't pour coffee all over the counter like the metal one does. I didn't want the heating element in the first place but I do like having the same hot coffee an hour later and it does turn itself off after I think 2 hours, I have not timed it. Otherwise the same gripes I have with the other one still stand and are below.I bought this because our costco keurig special finally died. I wanted a pot of coffee option and the keurig option and this does it. The best thing about this is the option to fill the included reusable keurig pod and the k-cup adapter. The k-cup adapter also holds a reusable k-cup which we find easier to use cause we have filters for it. The problem I have found with the included reusable keurig filter is that it overloads too easy and scrolls a large message across the screen, which is ridiculous it could be easier to read. The coffee pot and keurig side work great otherwise. The only other problem we have had is the clock and brew timer are ridiculously unlike any other clock and time you have ever set. It's not intuitive. It is also ridiculous that you can't program the keurig side to auto brew, should be exactly the same as the pot side. This should be an easy thing for the money spent on this. And remember if you do set auto brew for the pot side and then later go and change it to the keurig side then you need to make sure to take the step to restart the auto brew and flip it back to the pot side, not a big deal but still stupid. If both sides were programmable one at a time then sure I get why I would have to make sure to switch it back, it should reset itself if it was already on. Why not one reservoir and choose how much coffee the pot makes? The reservoir for the keurig is easy to fill but the lid falls off easy. The coffee pot side reservoir is hard to fill like every other coffee maker in existence and the water levels are impossible to see without good light and being able to see over the top of the coffee maker. I'm six foot and still cant quit make out all the steps. We have the metal coffee pot, its nice, it does hold the heat, I don't have to worry about a pot of coffee sitting on a hot plate. The coffee pot is a pain to pour the last bits out of. There should not be a lip where there is a lip the design could be better. The coffee pot side holds the steam in pretty good but the keurig side is a steam engine. We just put out the whole thing from under the cabinets regardless, no one needs mold. Overall its a good machine so far and it better last 10 years. Buy a used/refurbished if you can save some money unless you want the extended warranty that was not offered when we tried to purchase the used one. This is why we went with the new one, otherwise I would not have minded a returned item in good condition.

Title: Great duo machine!
Review: We have a busy home with lots of coffee & tea drinkers. We love this machine!! It works great for each one of us, whether we want individual cups of loose tea or bags, coffee pods or even raw grounds of coffee enough for just one cup! I love the way the extra brew device clips underneath the single base, and how you can fill a travel sized cup, too!! Down falls: 1. None of us could figure out how to time the 12 cup pot, until one of our adult children solved that for us. She's still the only one who can do it. 2. It's not simple to have pot set for morning and still use single side. 3. Single side had mysterious warning words come across display screen, and it would not work no matter what we tried. We eventually thought to read here in some reviews and found the answer! We used a paper clip to clean out the single pod needle area. That worked right away!! Overall, we are very happy with this unit. The large pot does take a long time to brew, but other than that, this is working great for our big family.

Title: Almost perfect!
Review: We actually purchased 2 of these. The first one is great! We love how hot the single serving gets, but it takes 3 minutes...but worth the wait!The Second one that we got for a separate residence and the single serving is faster, but not at hot. Also, the single serving side occasionally stops working. (If you take the end of the paper clip and use it to clear the "needles" that poke into the single serve cup to clear them, it starts working again.)

Review: Estuve buscando una cafetera, porque la que tenÃa se me hacia muy básica y querÃa algo diferente, la verdad quedé encantada, hice muy buena compra. El café sale caliente y cuando termina de hacer el café entra en modo keep warm que la verdad no quema el cafe a mi parecer, la otra opción para una taza esta súper práctica porque en cuestión de 90 segundos ya tienes lista tu taza de café, ya sea molido o con K-cup

Review: EL diseño es elegante, ademas utilizarla es muy sencillo. Es muy practica ya que si no tienes los contenedores de cafe, trae un filtro integrado con el que puedes preparar tazas individuales.

Review: This is one of the best machines I have ever owned. The temperature is just right, it is fast, it has a strength control, multiple size control and can accommodate any cup size. It can use pods, refill cups and has a quick easy to remove assembly to change from pod to filter basket in a flash. I have K-cup reuse pods that fit it perfectly so can continue using those too. All the parts disassemble easy to clean out the piercing needles and baskets with ease. The water chamber on single serve holds over a litre of water and is easy clean and fill. The other side can brew up to 12 cups if in need of a lot of coffee at one time. Pot side has a timer to set if you want it to brew and be ready for you n the morning. Only thing I wish they had added, was a reuse filter basket for the pot side, I would pay that extra, but they are easy to find to buy. This is a well thought out brew station, it comes with easy to understand instructions and took just minutes to. Set up. I have used tea, coffee grounds, pods, and every size cup to test it, each fills perfectly to size you set on single serve, even my tall travel mug fits. I simply love this machine, amazing options for the price. I think anyone that tries it will love it too.
