   Saliandra – February 1, 2021

   I purchased both of these pots at the same time (Keurig here on Amazon and the FlexBrew from our local big-box store). Here is my analysis:Things these two share in common:* They make great coffee!* They both make a carafe or a single serving with a K-cup or with your own grounds in a k-cup adapter.* They both make a carafe with up to 12 cups, or 60 oz (you lose some fluid in the brew process, achieving more like 56 to 57 oz).* They are both programmable for an auto-brew.* They both have an option for strong/bold coffee and the option applies to both the carafe and the single-serving side.Keurig K-Duo Plus pros:* Attractive.* Small footprint good for smaller kitchens.* Has a reservoir to hold water for multiple cups.* Comes with a thermal carafe.* Comes with a gold filter and water filter.* Has easy-to-read push buttons for size options.* Carafe and single cup options come out of the same spout – less cleaning involved.* Fast brew process.* Little to no steam escaping the top, so it seems safe to place under cabinets. And because of the separate removable reservoir, it can be used just fine beneath cabinets without pulling it out to fill.Keurig K-Duo Plus cons:* Expensive.* Size options limited. For a carafe, you can choose 6, 8, 10, or 12 cups. For a single cup, you have the same choices (in ounces). There are no in-between sizes, and the maximum K-cup size you can make is 12 oz.* Coffee filter basket is a bit hard to pull out and push back in.* Gold filter does not have a handle.* To use a “My K-cup” adapter with your own grounds requires fully pulling out the coffee basket, reaching up inside, and popping out the piece that punctures the K-cup. So switching between K-cups and your own grounds for a single brew is super cumbersome.* Does not include a “My K-cup” adapter for your own grounds. That must be purchased separately.* Height is quite tall and it can be difficult to see the button controls if your cabinets are low or cast a shadow. Could be difficult to insert a K-cup for some.Hamilton Beach FlexBrew pros:* MUCH more affordable.* Less buttons to push as water output is based upon how much water you put in at the time of brewing.* Single serving side will do up to 14 ounces.* Single serving size is dependent upon how much water you put in, thus making the size more customizable – so you can do a small espresso cup, for example, with only 4 ounces.* Carafe sizes are also customizable up to 12 cups, based upon how much water your put in.* Slightly shorter than the Keurig.* Includes a mesh filter for the single-serving side, for using your own grounds.* Storage for the single-serving mesh filter is beneath the single-serving drip tray which is quite handy.* Coffee is really hot, so you can add liquid creamer and not feel like you have to microwave it.Hamilton FlexBrew cons:* Not as attractive as the Keurig. Bulkier.* Does NOT include a gold filter. That must be purchased separately.* Does not have a reservoir that stays filled and ready to go. It must be filled each time you brew.* Takes longer to brew than the Keurig.* Two separate spouts for carafe and for single serving. Therefore, two spouts that need cleaning/descaling.* No thermal carafe included (They have that as another model, but it only does 10 cups).* More difficult to fill the reservoirs since they are at the back of the machine. If placing this beneath cabinets, one would probably need to pull the machine out when using in order to reach and fill the reservoirs.Final decision: in the end, I went for the FlexBrew, as I decided I preferred the ability to make up to 14 ounces on the single-serving side, so it fully fills my cup. While the instructions say not to exceed 10 ounces for actual K-cups, I have been putting in 14 ounces, selecting the bold brew, and it seems to work just fine. I also like that it’s easy to switch between K-cups and using your own grounds on the single-serving side. Plus, there’s storage for the mesh filter right on the pot, so I don’t have to go searching for the accessory. The better price tag is a big factor too, of course. I did end up buying a gold filter and a separate thermal carafe for those days when needed, although we usually drink the full carafe pretty quickly. Even with the purchase of the thermal carafe and gold filter, the price tag on this is still significantly less than the Keurig. I didn’t need to place this beneath a cabinet, so that issue wasn’t significant for me. If you need yours beneath a cabinet, I would probably recommend the Keurig.

   Overall, I am satisfied with this product, which I bought because sometimes I want to make my 3 cups of morning all at once, and sometimes I want to make one at a time. What others may want to know is that if you use a reusable k cup, you can only do so by ordering one from Keurig for an extra $16. One cannot use any other reusable k cup in this machine. Another thing to be aware of is that the opening for the single cup is behind the opening for the carafe, so that when making a single cup, you don’t place the cup in the middle of the tray, but must move it back some. One good thing about this product is that the water is hotter than my prior single cup maker.

   Update!I went to make my wife a Dunkin’s K cup and I see a lot of coffee grounds in the cup!! Thinking it’s an anomaly I make another. Same thing happened!! No idea what’s going on! Super unhappy!!!Our last Keurig died of old age so had to replace. This until makes pots of coffee in addition to K Cups. We use K Cups 99.99% of the time but my wife wanted one that made coffee pots too.We’ve been using it for almost a month and so far so good. One huge design flaw is filling the water tank. It’s in back of the unit so if you store this under the counter, which we do, I have to pull the until out to access the water reservoir. There had to be a better way to fill the reservoir than this. So be warned if you store this coffee maker under the counter!

   I have zero complaints about the coffee maker itself. It’s easy to use, makes the coffee super fast, and the dual function is an awesome feature if you think you’ll use it. Thankfully, I have not had any issues with the machine leaking, as others have mentioned. My only complaints are around the design of the carafe. The “button” on the lid behind the hinge (that you use to lift up the lid) is very short, which makes it awkward to use sometimes from an ergonomic point of view. I have gotten used to it, but for others with larger hands they may find it more annoying. The second thing, for me much more annoying, is the spout of the carafe is so small that if you brew a pot of about 10 cups or more you have to pour very slowly otherwise you overflow the spout and then your coffee drips all along the side of the carafe. When there is less coffee in the carafe this isn’t an issue, and again, if you pour slowly with a fuller carafe you can avoid making a mess. It’s another thing I’ve gotten used to, but wish it was something I didn’t have to worry about at all. Overall, 5 stars for the coffee maker itself, but maximum 3 stars for the carafe alone just for poor design.

   This coffee maker brews good coffee but beware of inaccurate water measurement. If you press the 10-cup button, then you get 8 cups of coffee and if you press the 12-cup button then you get 10 cups of coffee. Add the tablespoons of coffee to the filter based on the cups of coffee that end up in the carafe or the coffee will be very strong. The k-cup brewer works great.

   I really like it now that I figured out how to set the time, it’s quite different than others. Nice shape and saved me 6″ in space on my counter top by replacing a regular coffee maker and a Keurig. The 2nd day pouring the coffee into the cup, the karafe leaks at the bottom of the pouring rim dripping coffee all over the counter, husband wants to send it back

   This is so versatile because it takes both ground coffee (using round filters) and k-cups. It took me a bit to figure out the new technology, but once I did, the coffee machine was a breeze. Quiet brewing too. It was a special treat for us to get this really cool coffee pot. Even my husband, who was reluctant to change coffee pots after 25 years, is in love with this machine.

   The coffee maker is very easy to use. I like having both pods for one cup or the ability to make a whole pot. You can purchase refillable pods and use your favorite coffe to make one cup. The wqter container in the back is very easy to remove and add water. The coffeee makere lets you know when you need to add water.
