Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Universal Coffee Maker, 49930

I've bought two (five actually). The first one lasted a couple of years and all worked well. The concept is great and I have not been able to find another coffee maker that does the same without exchanging parts. The only issue I've had... is when I the day finally came to replace it, I had to order and return two broken units before I received one that worked. Third times a charm. It was worth it! I use it for a small office and it's perfect. Takes up little space and so very easy to clean.

First coffee machine that i bought, easy to use

It takes forever to actually the make the coffee pods and the needle gets stopped up frequently, which requires weekly maintenance to keep it running. I have had it for about a month and believe the combination of pods and nespresso pods is great but the machine itself is just, ok.

The Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Universal Coffee Maker was sold and shipped by a company labeled as Atlas Deals/Electronics Central21 LLC, who apparently performs not-so-great refurbs on electrical appliances. When I received the coffee maker, I noticed that there were a few layers of tape on the outer and inner box that had been cut. The machine still had stickers on it as if it were new, but there were water spots and black residue in the tank. The whole thing smelled mildly like hospital cleaning supplies. There was a lot of dust in and around the various compartments. As I was trying to prime the machine for first use (running water through it), the seal inside the espresso compartment fell out, and I liked to have never got it put back. I was finally successful in making a cup of espresso, but potential customers need to know about these things before they purchase. It was in fairly good condition, but this was not a brand new product. I don't feel that the asking price is justified for a refurb of this caliber, especially when it's not listed as a refurb. It is also excessively (like EXCESSIVELY) noisy, as other reviewers have stated.

I just unboxed the item Tuesday. Tuesday and Wednesday this item semi worked twice with a medium amount of coffee grinds mixed in. I should’ve known I had a lemon because when I ran just a water test twice before use, the ounces didn’t add up. It’s also very loud like a mower but I’m thinking it’s because it’s a lemon. I just tried it for the third time today and I selected 8oz and I barely got an ounce of coffee…,,I haven’t even been able to use the espresso feature. I’m sad because I waited almost a month for this item to be shipped.

So loud and it vibrates badly while making the drinks. I was hopeful and excited to try this because we already had an older version of flex brew but I do not recommend this product.

this machine is horrible...do no buy it in my opinion! the lid mechanism is so hard to get open/closed....not to mention so loud when you do get it open or closed. half the time...the machine doesn't work at all. the other half...it leaks water thru the bottom of the machine i literally am so mad that i wasted my money on this machine.

The lid for the espresso door would not close! I didn’t even get to make a cup of coffee. Tried the k cup side and wouldn’t work. so I had to send it right back

The coffee maker DID NOT WORK. I wish I could have given it 0 stars.

The water pump stopped working almost immediately. Returned.
