Review: So Happy! This was EXACTLY what I was looking for! - I have been searching for a coffee maker that could brew ground coffee AND/OR coffee from the pods. I MUCH prefer ground coffee over the pods but occasionally I'll receive coffee pods as a gift and would like to use them so I wanted a unit that could brew both but wasn't so insanely over priced. I came across this one and thought I'd give it a shot. I've had the unit for a few months now and I have to say that I am incredibly happy that I made this purchase. It performs just as I wanted it to. It takes up very little space on the countertop and brews perfectly, both grounds AND from the pods. I wanted to wait until I made sure to try the pod function before I left a review and I am VERY happy to say that this is an AWESOME unit. VERY reasonably priced and does the job perfectly. I have always preferred to brew my coffee as I need it so the single brew is what I wanted but if you like an entire pot of coffee at each brew then this is not the unit for you. The ONLY drawback I have run into is the the unit does not have room for taller travel mugs but that is a very minor issue and one that I worked around quickly by taking off the adjustable stand below and, TADA! it fits taller mugs!. It is VERY easy and quick to clean the unit and I LOVE that I no longer need to fuss with coffee filters thanks to the reusable supplied one which I have pictures of attached. The plate that the cup sits on is not a hot plate but again, that's not an issue for me because I brew the coffee when I want to drink it so I have no need for it to sit on a hot/warming plate waiting for me to pick it up. I brew it, grab it and drink it. Overall I would give this unit a 9.5/10 the only minor loss was that it isn't a warming plate that the mug sits on but again that is not a problem for myself. LOVE THIS UNIT!!! Review: Excellent for both ground coffee and pods. - I purchased this when my trusty old Keurig finally bit the dust. I’m particular about my coffee, usually using freshly ground beans with a pour-over filter and pitcher. But I occasionally used a Keurig pod when I just wanted a just a bit and didn’t feel like making a big production out of it. I bought the Hamilton Beach unit as a replacement, because it was about $20 less expensive than the basic Keurig model. It worked fine with Keurig pods, although I noticed that after every second or third cup it is necessary to clean out the outflow orifice at the bottom of the pod holder and the hole in the steel pod-puncturing unit to prevent the coffeemaker from stopping up and turning off. It takes less that 30 seconds to accomplish this using a partly straightened paper clip. Then I tried using the Flexbrew feature with freshly ground coffee. You simply re;lace the pod holder with the included filter basket. It takes about three heaping teaspoons of coffee, just enough to cover the fine-screen filter in the bottom of the basket, to make a 16oz mug of medium-strength coffee. The hot water comes through the same steel tip that punctures pods, but in this instance a rubber ring seals the filter basket when the top is closed, and the coffee is made under pressure, much in the manner of an espresso machine. The coffee quality is superb, and it is so quick and easy I hardly use my pour-over method at all any more. One more hint — I recommend rinsing the grounds out of the filter basked immediately after each cup is made, as it becomes brick-like when cold and dry. I bought this little gem of a machine thinking I would be using it only for the occasional cup of pod coffee, but it has become my number one way of making coffee all day and every day. Kudos to Hamilton Beach for coming up with a simple, versatile and inexpensive way to make coffee! ## Features - Single-serve coffee maker with or without K-Cup pods. Brew up to 10 ounce.

Kudos to Hamilton Beach for coming up with a simple, versatile and inexpensive way to make coffee! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice alternative to that K-brand *by R***G on August 25, 2022* We bought this to take to a convention that is held in an overpriced hotel with very expensive food and beverage service. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a K-brand. I also didn't want to deal with their DRM that locks out pods from companies that did not pay them royalties. This Hamilton Beach unit seemed like a good alternative, and so far it has been. It works well, and the coffee is as good as you can hope for from a pod brewer. Some other reviewers have grumbled about it being slow, but I don't see much difmy Dad's K-brand. It's super easy to clean...if you use pods. The "funnel" thing (that the coffee goes through en route from the K-cup or grounds basket to the cup) pops right out for washing. The supplied filterless basket for ground coffee works well and makes decent coffee, but it's a real pain in the neck to clean. I guess that's probably true of other brands, too; I don't know. Bottom line is, this is a good value. I don't see much difference between this and a Keurig, other than cost. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hamilton Beach 49974 FlexBrew Single-Serve Coffee Maker Compatible with Pod Packs and Grounds, 14.0 ounces, Black - 2-Pack Single Serve Ground coffee Brew Basket for Hamiltion FlexBrew Coffee Maker Models 49974 49975 49976 49979 49957 49954 49947 49940 49950 49966 49968 Filter Part, Brown --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/42127118-hamilton-beach-49974-flexbrew-single-serve-coffee-maker-compatible-pod](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/42127118-hamilton-beach-49974-flexbrew-single-serve-coffee-maker-compatible-pod) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
