Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio
The best budget multi-brew — K-Cup pods and ground coffee with a full 12-cup carafe at under $90.
Our Review
The Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio packs surprising versatility into a budget package. It brews K-Cup pods on one side and a full 12-cup carafe on the other — simultaneously if you want. The single-serve side is compatible with K-Cups and ground coffee (with the included single-serve pack), and the carafe side has programmable auto-brew. At under $90, it's the cheapest way to get dual-brew flexibility without sacrificing a full-size carafe.

- Full 12-cup carafe for families
