Without naming the other brand I’m comparing this Hamilton flex brew trio. The other brand was very expensive $200+. This was $80. Other brand had a carafe that no matter how carefully you poured the coffee it spilled everywhere and made a mess. Hamilton is well designed and no mess pouring. I’ll start with the bad which is not bad but I would prefer the display to be brighter or able to adjust. In my opinion that is the only bad thing and I wouldn’t even say it’s a bad thing. It is easy to set up the clock, make coffee in the carafe or single serve. For the carafe all you do is pour the water in the carafe side for the amount of coffee you want. Ex if you want 10 cups you pour water to the 10 cup line if you want 12 cups you pour water to the 12 cup line. Put the amount of coffee to you preference in a filter and press Brew. Easy as that. Same as the single serve. I use a measuring cup with a spout for the single serve. I put the amount of water in the cup I’m using for the single serve in to the spouted measuring cup then pour it in the water side for single serve. This keeps the water from going everywhere from using the mug. Put any brand of pod (K cup or generic can be used unlike the other expensive brand). Press the single serve button and brew. You have a delicious cup of coffee. Or you can use the filtered basket that comes with the set and use your ground coffee in that. I’ve tried all three. Very easy and versatile. I was concerned after reading some of the reviews about the temperature of the coffee. The coffee is very hot with all three ways of brewing. It has a two hour shut off timer for the carafe. While the carafe is on the burner it stays very hot all two hours. Very pleased with the temperature it stays at. If I’m needing it to stay on longer than the two hours I don’t add more water but push the brew button again and it resets the timer. WARNING I do not know if this is bad for the Hamilton but I have not had any problems doing this. It is very easy to set the program timer. Just press and hold the clock button until it blinks 1900 then set the program time as preferred. You only need to do this once if you’re going to leave it at the same time every day. So if you want it to brew 5:00am set the program timer for that. Set up the coffee carafe side and press program and it’s set. You cannot set the timer program for the single serve but I couldn’t with the other brand either. Not a big deal or dealbreaker. All three brewing ways take a little bit longer to brew but not much at all. Again not a deal breaker. For all the Hamilton has to offer at a very affordable price compared to a couple minutes with the very expensive one I don’t mind. And if you set the program timer the couple minutes don’t matter. The Hamilton seems very durable and well designed. My only regret was I did not buy this long ago. But I’m glad I bought the other expensive one then this Hamilton affordable one. Proves by experience money doesn’t always buy quality. If needed I would buy this Hamilton over the other(s) any day!!!!!

Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio Coffee Maker, Single Serve & Full 12 Cup Pot, 2-Way Compatible with K-Cup Pods or Grounds
The flexible design of the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio Coffee Maker lets you brew coffee three different ways.
On the single-serving side, you have two brewing options: making coffee with your favorite brand of pod (such as a K-Cup*) or using ground coffee.
When you want 12 cups of coffee, simply fill the water reservoir and brew basket on the carafe side just like you would a traditional coffee maker. You can set up wake-up ready coffee the night before with Easy-Touch programming and pour yourself a cup before the brewing cycle has finished with Automatic Pause and Pour.
- 2 easy-fill reservoirs and easy-view water windows
- Carafe side with programmable timer and 2 hour auto shutoff
- Automatic pause & serve during brewing
- Includes single-serve pack holder and brew basket
- The pod-piercing assembly tool removes for easy cleaning
Features:
Three Ways to Brew
Brew up to 12 cups using your favorite ground coffee on the carafe side or brew a single serving with a pod or coffee grounds on the other. You can brew up to 10 oz. cup of coffee using a pod, or fill a 14 oz., 7-1/4" tall travel mug when you use coffee grounds.
Brew a Single Cup with a K-Cup Pod* or Ground Coffee
Brew a cup with a K-Cup* pod, another pod brand, or ground coffee. The included pod holder and single-serve grounds basket easily handle both options and the cup rest removes so you can brew into a tall travel mug.
Brew a Full Pot of Coffee
Wake up to hot coffee every morning by using Easy-Touch programming. After brewing, coffee stays warm in the carafe for 2 hours and the power automatically shuts off. AutoPause & Pour lets you pour a cup as coffee brews.
Customize Your Brew Strength
Control how strong you want your coffee with Select-a-Brew: regular and bold brewing options.
2 Separate Easy-Fill Water Reservoirs
Each brewing side has its own water reservoir that’s easy to fill and features a water window, so you always know exactly how much water to add.
Cup Rest with Storage Area
Securely holds a standard-size cup of coffee and is removable to let you brew into a tall travel mug. Convenient storage area inside the cup rest holds either the single-serve pod holder or brew basket.

Great, with a side of frustrating
I've used a Keurig individual brewer for years, one at home and one in my office, but thought I would try this Hamilton Beach K-cup/carafe machine because of the +carafe option and lower comparable price. I mostly use the individual cup side and this review is focused there. (Used carafe 1x, seems fine/standard.) After a few months of regular use, this is what I found - Things that are great: It brews instantly, (on my prior machines I had to wait or minute or two for water to heat). It uses K cups or has a basket for grounds, which works well and doesn't leave coffee grit in my finished brew. The area for your cup is tall enough for my largest mugs, (which none of my Keurigs were). The display is clear, big, and easy to read (it doesn't show well in my pictures). It allows you to pick brew sizes from 6-14 oz., in 2 oz increments. The water reservoir is a good size (56 oz - so good for 4-8 brews depending on size), and it's easy to see the water level, access it to fill, and has a big lid so it's easy to pour water in without any spills. You can choose a bold setting, and even at 14 oz my coffee is not watery at all. The control buttons are intuitive and user friendly. It has a delay timer. I think it looks sleek. Frustrations: My biggest frustration is that it has a part called a "needle" that gets clogged - this is the hollow metal tube that punctures the K cup and allows the heated water flows through. That piece gets clogged every week or two and I have to take it apart to clean it. At least they made it easy to take off, clean, and put back on - but my Keurig brewers never had any parts that got clogged through my years of using them, so not sure why they don't fix that. When it happens there is a "needle" error message on the display and there are instructions in the manual on how to clear it, so it appears they accept it as part of the unit's function. My other gripe is that it appears to have a holder designed for a water filter at the bottom of reservoir but no provided filter or instructions (I included a stock photo of the reservoir - you can see the clear plastic holder at the bottom). I like using filters on coffee brewers to help keep any scale from building up inside and to keep any bad taste (like chlorine) at bay. What looks like a holder (appears to be the shape and size of their standard coffee maker water filters) is there; but, no starter filter was included and the manual does not mention them, (whether compatible or not) so I don't know if their standard water filters will fit. As a workaround I'm using pre-filtered water, but I would prefer to also have a carbon filter in the machine. Overall, the positives outweigh the frustrations for me. I REALLY like that it's big enough to fit my large travel mugs, brews strong, has a fine mesh basket for using coffee grounds in the k-cup side, and allows me to brew up to 14 oz at one time.
