Overview
The Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio (model 49950C) brews three ways from one machine: a 12-cup carafe with ground coffee, a single-serve pod on one side, or single-serve grounds in an included basket, with a permanent gold-tone filter so paper filters are not required.
This is a two-sided machine rather than a pure single-serve unit: one side holds the carafe for a full pot, the other handles either a K-Cup pod or its own grounds basket. AutoPause and Pour lets you pull a cup mid-brew, and Select-a-Brew adjusts strength between regular and bold.
- Three brew modes: carafe, pod or grounds single-serve
- Permanent gold-tone filter, no paper filters needed
- Select-a-Brew strength control: regular or bold
- Keeps coffee warm 2 hours with auto shutoff
Who it's for
Works well for a household split between people who want a full pot and people who want one cup, since it covers both from the same base. Less useful for someone who only ever wants a single cup and has no need for the carafe side.
Pros and cons
- Covers a full carafe and single-serve pods or grounds from one machine
- Reusable gold-tone filter removes the need for paper filters
- AutoPause and Pour lets you grab a cup mid-brew
- Bold and standard brew settings both run slower than some other machines
- One buyer's unit needed 45 minutes and repeated cleaning to brew a single cup
