Everything you need!
I LOVE this coffee maker. No, REALLY!!! LOVE IT! Best feature? You can set up water reservoir in the back or on the left. I needed this flexibility for my kitchen set up, as this sits on top of my microwave and is too high for me to reach a back fill reservoir. It’s very easy to fill on the side, although it is also very easy to remove and fill at the sink. Second-best feature? We’re pod people, but I love the flexibility of being able to make a LARGE pot of coffee if company comes. I used to have to pull out the old percolator. Finally? The coffee is great. You’ve got every choice you need on a simple front panel 8/10/12 oz. (or a pot, etc.) Regular or bold. I think Ice, too, but we haven’t tried that yet. Now – will it stand the test of time? My Keurig lasted a year. (Lame!) My last brand, five years (very good, but no longer available.) Fingers crossed – if this one makes it 5 years, I will be super satisfied. (We are using filtered-at-the-sink water due to very high mineral content in our area – clogs coffee makers!)If I’d change anything, I’d hinge the lid to the water reservoir. I just Jerry-Rigged it with a piece of duck tape – duck hinge! (The last thing I need before my 1st cup of coffee in the morning is trying to figure out where I put the lid down.) Second, instead of the higher cup lift (for regular coffee cups -who uses those anyway?) I’d like to see a larger foot to place your tall thermos cups, one that includes a drainage cover. These are quite minor issues, but things we have noticed as we’ve used it. Again – this unit is perfect for our needs – and a great value to boot!

Excellent coffee maker!
Just started using our new Hamilton Beach 5 in 1 and love everything about it. I found moving the reservoir from the back to the side to be very easy. After running clean water through both the single side and the carafe side, I made my first kcup. 12 ounce cup of coffee nice and hot and tasty in under 2 minutes. Then made our first carafe this morning. 10 cups with very little steam and, again, nice and hot and tasty in about 5 minutes. I’m not sure why other users are having the problems they’re experiencing, but I am very pleased with our new coffee maker. It looks great in our little coffee bar while taking up very little space. It’s quiet and makes a very good, hot, delicious cup of coffee. I’ll update my review if anything changes but at this time I would highly recommend this coffee maker.

space saving
I’m really happy with my purchase. I have been a faithful Keurig customer for many years and was nervous about making this purchase. But to my surprise it has been a great decision. I love having the ability to make both a pot and a pod. The coffee is very hot and easy to use. Don’t hesitate to buy it.

Space saving thin design.
The âslimâ line design is a great space saver, it is not as bulky as other designs. I love K cups and my husband loves brewed coffee, so this is a win, win situation for us. We are extremely happy with how easy it is to set up and run. The automatic shut off and automatic brew are excellent features as well.

oh no. not a good idea
I love the size and looks of this machine, but after trying to use it for a week. I have to say no way and returning it tomorrow. I am so disappointed, 1st. In the 12 oz carafe the coffee comes out lukewarm, I like my coffee HOT, not tepid. so that right there is a deal breaker. 2nd. there where constant grounds in my cup making a K cup. finally, realized the needle that pierces the k cup is huge, so grounds get in the coffee. 3rd. no matter how small an amount of my favorite coffee i put into the single brew, it overflows and makes a big mess. Could not once get a cup of coffee. I followed all instruction did all the trouble shoots. Nothing would fix that problem. So now I’m tired of cleaning and not getting any coffee. And as far as iced drinks, it is easier to just put ice cubes in a glass and pour your drink over it. So, back it has to go. Too bad. I really liked the design. But don’t need the headache.

Best coffee maker ever!
I love the way it’s made doesn’t take up a lot of space on counter. Pod one cup made instantly no waiting for water to get hot,it’s hot coming out immediately.
