Is the FlexBrew 5-in-1 worth it?

It is a good fit if you want pod and full-carafe brewing in one compact machine and do not need a thermal carafe. At $119.95 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026, it undercuts most combo brewers.

Does it use K-Cup pods?

Yes. The single-serve side takes K-Cup pods, and you can also brew ground coffee in the single-serve basket. It does not take Vue or larger pod formats.

How big is the water tank?

The removable reservoir holds 60 oz. That covers a full 12-cup carafe or several single cups before a refill.

How fast is a single cup?

Hamilton Beach rates single-cup brewing at under 2 minutes. Carafe batches take longer, as with any drip brewer.

What comes in the box?

The brewer, a 12-cup glass carafe, a removable water reservoir and a single-serve pod holder. Pods and ground coffee are not included.

Combo brewers like this tend to dip during Black Friday and back-to-school sales. The current $119.95 at Best Buy is already near the low end of its recent range.
