I like my Flexbrew . Hot water, grounds and kcups


"2 brewing options: Single-serve pack or ground coffee "

i think this is what i was looking for.although im assuming "single-serve pack"means k cup type stuff right.i think the whole wifi thing is kind of wierd though

My company has one in the cafe called Mars Drinks and it works pretty freakin well.
Also they have free hot chocolate which is the fucking shit.

Search Amazon for "full coffee pot with k-cup" or "full coffee pot with single serve".

so they dont have any that could just make a single cup of ground coffee? that hamilton beach flexbrew kinda sounded like it made single cups of ground coffee though

I honestly don't know. That's just what I found after a quick search. I ground my own coffee and use a cheap little 4 cup brewer. The smallest pot I've brewed with it is 2 1/2 cups with 13 grams of coffee if that helps. Two small machines could be an option.

What about a French press? They have ones that just hold enough for a cup or two.

Keurig - A way to turn a $5-10 device and make it a $100-200 machine again! YAY!

Christ, just use a normal drip coffee filter. It's simply better and cheaper.


Exactly ... I do have a Keurig but rarely use it anymore for many of the already mentioned reasons.

The last coffee pot I bought was a $15 Hamilton Beach and it makes much better coffee then K-cups do. Now that I think about it, it also makes identical coffee to my last Braun which set me back close to $100.

I have a 4-cup Mr. Coffee with a permanent filter for my daily use. Fill it to slightly over the 2 cup line and I've got my 1 mug of coffee per day. For days where I have more time, I'll break out my French press.

I love my Keurig Pro model . It is my third Keurig . I didn't know about the coffee needles before I bought the keurigs . Now I can dissemble a Keurig and clean it so it will work for a solid two days before it stutters and stumbles through another morning .

Pretty happy with my Breville Barista Express espresso machine. We have had it for almost 5 years and the grinder broke about a year ago so I bought a really good Rancilio burr grinder but it still makes decent espresso and it has the frothing attachment so I can make capuccino which I do every morning. When it dies I'll upgrade to a better machine but for now this is doing the job.

Lol coffee maker with wifi. Just make sure it does not mention anything about needing an app. I hate how so many products require an app now, why not just make it an internal web server... and usually that also means registration with their servers, before you can even use the damn thing. And in years from now when they stop updating the app it becomes obsolete.

Never did like Keurig!! Probably because when I drink coffee I like my coffee to be super strong and flavorful!!
I'm with you. I went and got a Mr coffee for $25 at Walmart, and let the wife use the Keurig.

might try a different brand of kcup then...some brands definitely get crap stuck in the needle more often than others...

when that happens with mine, I just take a pin and jam it in the needle hole a few times and that always clears up the problem...never had to actually disassemble anything...
