I have many Hamilton products. This one just didn’t cut the mustard, or, live up to my regimen to satisfy my morning coffee needs. It is a very slow machine. It takes way to long to get a cup of coffee from this machine, Anyone who is dependent on that first cup of coffee to start your day, this is not the machine for you…especially comparing it to other single cup coffee makers I have had in the past. Unfortunately, this particular maker malfunctioned with excess steam coming out of the back and was spitting water. It is definitely a safety issue. I love all their products, but this one is a clear pass for me.

After a bit of struggle with breaking in the lid closure mechanism the machine works like a charm. One needs to be mindful of cup size before brewing but once accustomed to doing so 8/10/14 cup selection setting is quite handy - it prevents overfill or allows for a slightly stronger brew (especially when used with stronger brew setting. The removable reservoir and piercer/pod holder are very easy to clean. The only downside is that one obscure brand of pods is too thick to be easily pierced. Miniscule problem. Very happy with it overall. Excellant machine for the price.

it works but not a fan. it does not brew as fast as they claim. the filter is not that easy to clean as others.

I have used Hamilton Beach FlexBrew machines before. The dual one, with the large pot and the single cup has an issue with the hose connection and is prone to leaking when using the pot side after awhile. The single-brew machine without the water tank is good, but I like this one because you don't have to always fill the machine each time you make a cup. AND, you can place it under a cabinet at the end, so you can reach the water tank without moving the machine out. I read another comment about taste. I have never had a "plastic" taste or anything using these machines for years. Also, it makes coffee quick enough, and the pump is quiet.

My first coffee machine to use Kcups, and so far so good. It includes filter screen so you don't have to use Kcups. Water reservoir is good for a few cups before needing to refill. Basically quick and efficient as well as doesn't take up too much kitchen space.
