I received this Flex Brew to test and review.  The main improvement is the 56 oz water reservoir that was missing from the first version.  It makes it so much easier to brew a cup of coffee.  The cup size selection is great from 6 oz to 14 oz and still having the strength selection.  What I really like is how fast it brews a cup of coffee it heats up quickly and counts up the ounces on the screen.  I really love this machine.
