How to Use a Hamilton Beach Flex Brew Coffee Maker 

What if You Get Two Different Features of Coffee Maker in One?

Absolutely! With Hamilton, you can experience the convenience of having two unique features of a coffee maker combined into one.

Coffee is our best friend and so does a coffee maker. It is with us when we are at home or in the office. Many people love to enjoy coffee 3-4 times a day.

Some of us live alone while others with families. Living alone doesn’t mean that you can have guests. Having a single-serve coffee maker is best when you live individually but what happens when you are expecting guests?

Hamilton has solved this problem for us. With its beach flex brew coffee maker, you can enjoy both a single server and carafe.
