I've had a few coffee makers and the Flex Brew Trio is my favorite. It saves me so much coffee. I would always make pots of coffee when I was the only one drinking it. The flexibility of making either a full carafe, or a single cup, is my favorite feature and the fact that you can use your own ground coffee or K-cup makes all the difference. I even love that both selections come with a separate water reservoir, which is a time saver and so convenient and it's easy to clean!  l like everything about  this coffee maker, I even bragged about it to my friends! I just love it! Thanks Hamilton Beach this one is a winner!!
