This product, Hamilton Beach Flexbrew Trio is very convenient. I like that I can brew a pot of coffee or just use the single cup method. I like to have an afternoon cup of coffee and now I don't have to make a mess by brewing a pot of coffee. The single cup is going to be awesome feature for me. The coffee that was brewed came out great! I like the warming plate and that is helpful for when my son gets up for work a few hours after I brew the morning coffee.
