Pretty good work horse!

I ordered this quite awhile back. I don't even remember when. We burnt through two very expensive combo coffee makers within just a couple months and there were only 2 of us coffee monsters in the house!
Yes, we are coffee monsters. If we could have a constant IV, hubby and I would have it.
I dug around Amazon reviews and found this one. I gave it a shot. There are now 3 of us in the house using it. (That is as of last sept or oct, so I guess we've had this machine close to a year now!) It gets used all day long. Usually 1-2 full pots and countless K-cups. It is still chugging along without any problems. Cleaning the K-cup side, when it clogs, is easier than the other machines. A toothpick is all you need.
We only use bottled water with out coffee makers , I buy distilled usually. (And the other coffee makers STILL died!) Our water is so hard it killed a water heater in less than 6 months. Hubby tends to skip the bottled water and run a pot of tap water through it, and once again, it's still chugging along just fine.
I would post a picture, but ours looks like it's being used at a construction site. I clean it every chance I get, but we really are heavy coffee drinkers. 🤣

I’m thrilled with the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew! This is my third Hamilton Beach coffeemaker because I love having the option of a pot or single cup, and programming it is a cinch. The first two lasted several years, so when my second one finally gave out, I bought this new version. It’s even better! I love that there are two separate reservoirs so that you don’t have to pour water in for each separate cup, and making the coffee is very quick. They’ve improved how to put the K cup in as well, so it’s super easy. I highly recommend it!

Good machine, convenient.

What I liked – I can brew either a full carafe or a single cup. I have both ground coffee and K-pods, but can also use ground coffee in single-brew attachment. Excellent brew, can pause to sneak a quick cup of coffee.
What can be improved – an attachable water canister would be nice, rather than having to fill it with water each time I want to use it. Pouring water in the resorvoir can be messy if I try to pour too quickly, and the brew time for both the carafe and single cup are exceedingly slow compared to my old coffeemaker.

Quality item. Very efficient and clean. It works great. I had the old model as a gift from my grandma before she passed and I love this upgrade. Nice digital display but works great.

I chose this model because I already had this and I love everything about it. You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to make a great cup of coffee. A carafe or a cup. Easy to program. The HB FlexBrew is worth purchasing. And the seller knows what your time is worth…delivery was 48 hours!
I definitely recommend this seller and will shop with them again.

Flex Brew #3 !

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2025

Verified Purchase

This will be our 3rd Hamilton Beach Flex Brew machine. This model, #49976, was ordered specifically by the model number. It will replace the exact same model number machine. It developed a small leak I couldn't locate, likely a crack in the large reservoir, between the two reservoirs, according to the water mark it left in the base cover (drip pan, with a waffle design, and a drain hole, made it easy to see where it leaked above). That machine ran well for 4-5 years of everyday carafe use and weekly K-cup use. The model previous to the failed machine was also a Flex Brew, but an earlier generation, and it lasted several years. The current models are still new, and the reviews weren't impressive. I like some of the newer features, but they aren't required. This model has worked perfectly, and brews a pot or single faster than any other we've seen or used (except for the always-hot models, which we burned through a few times). The new machine brews a carafe or single nearly the same time as the model it replaced when it was new, 14 and 3 minutes, respectively. The old machine was taking about 16 minutes after a routine cleaning. I hope this one runs and lasts as well as the previous Flex Brew models it replaced.
