    Hamilton Beach 2-Way Brewer Coffee Maker, Single-Serve and 12-Cup Pot, Stainless Steel (49980A), Carafe

    • It's programmable, auto shut off, can use pods as well
    • You'd pretty much have to cut the pods open and dump the contents into the filter basket
    • I like the dual feature, (single serving or full pot) and saving money using my own ground coffee / basket Instead of pods
    • The pod part does not use k cups it uses the weird pods that are hard to find.
    • It is best to use a paper filter like for k-cups or the soft pods.
    • n’t use any wasteful pods
    • This machine will make single cups using either a soft pod OR loose grounds in the small basket
    • When visiting my sister-in-law, we enjoyed being able making individual cups with her Keurig, but didn’t want anything that takes pods as they’re an environmental nightmare of plastic waste, and find the refillable pods are a pain to clean
    • I don’t have to buy expensive pods, I can make a single cup, I can make it 10 cup pot, and it’s not an over priced coffee “machine”.
    • pod was missing when i unpacked it after double checking the box.
    • We still have the option to do a single cup, but instead of expensive, wasteful, plasticky pods, we just dump a little of our coffee of choice into the reusable filter
    • It’s missing the pod adapter and doesn’t come with the coffee mug
    • Don’t have to buy expensive pods it uses any loose coffee or tea
    • It says pods which have become a generic term for all types, but this one uses the little single serve pods like a tea bag, so just be sure when you order that you know this.
    • Even the single serve side brewer uses your own ground coffee, NO pods
    • But it takes soft pods for single cups
    • Do you know who sells soft pods
    • It can take soft pods, like you see in hotels, but not K-cups.)
    • Received this product with missing pod holder and the single serve does not work.
    • Purchased for daughter’s dorm - she loves the flexibility of both full carafe and travel mug and the ability to brew single serve without using wasteful pods.
    • I recently ordered a fancy duo machine that uses the very popular pods
    • No expensive, little pods that make lousy coffee.
    • Keurig pods too expensive-with the xxsmall paper
    • so I wouldn't have to use the expensive pods.
