Overview

Pod drinkers and pot drinkers in one home both get served by the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio, a drip maker that brews K-Cup pods or grounds into a mug, or ground coffee into a glass carafe. A removable reservoir supplies the water.

Covering a quick single mug and a full morning pot with one machine saves counter room for a second appliance. The filter type is paper, so filters are an ongoing supply, and the warranty term is short.

Who it's for

Couples or offices where one person wants a single mug and another wants a pot get both from one countertop unit. People who only ever brew one cup are giving up counter space to a carafe they will not use.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Brews a single cup or a full pot
  • Takes K-Cup pods or ground coffee
  • Programmable timer with digital display
  • Removable reservoir for filling at the sink
Cons
  • Short warranty term
  • Paper filters are an ongoing need
  • Wide footprint on the counter
  • Travel mug height clearance not listed

Performance notes

Single cup strength depends on the pod or the amount of grounds used, since the brewer runs water through one serving at a time. Carafe flavor follows the grind and the dose in the paper filter, and the programmable timer only helps when the reservoir and basket are loaded ahead.
