WoW ! The Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio is awesome.It has made my life so much easier,especially late nights and early mornings.I don't have to make a full pot of coffee to have that last cup before running out the door.I can make a single cup and make it my choice of size or brew strength.I can use a premade pod or my own favorite ground coffee.I can set it to brew a pot at a specified time for others so it is fresh when they get up.I drink coffee a lot in the evenings so making a single cup is a real time saver and money saver,no more warming leftover coffee in a microwave for me.I did notice a bit more noise than expected when brewing a single cup,but for the convenience  it's a minor issue.Using the single cup for hot water to make hot drinks is a big help too.The FlexBrew Trio isn't a product that takes up much space,overall it is a great item to have.I will be purchasing for gifts to others.
