I have so far been pleased with this Flex-Brew Coffee Maker.  The size does take up some room on your counter top.  It is the size of many regular coffee makers, but if you have the counter space it will suit your needs quite well.
     The storage basket is a plus since you can store either the K-Cup basket or ground coffee basket, which you do not have to go searching for these items.  
     However, the machine is a little noisy, so do not expect to have your coffee brew without you knowing it.  For me I like to know when my coffee is brewing and when it is done.
     The style of this item is very well designed and is a sturdy appliance which if taken care of should last many years.
     Having two brew cycles regular and bold is a nice option.  I prefer my coffee bold, but that is a personal choice, and a hot cup of coffee is something that you will get and well worth the price for this nice appliance made by Hamilton Beach.
