Good Thinking® Features
Maximum Brewing Flexibility
The FlexBrew® Single-Serve Coffeemaker is equipped with a 40 oz. removable reservoir, offering significant flexibility in brewing. Users can choose to brew using their favorite coffee grounds or a single-serve pack, such as a K-Cup® pack. The machine easily adjusts to accommodate various cup sizes, allowing users to brew coffee for their home mug or a 14 oz. travel mug.
Single-Serve Coffee Variety
This coffeemaker caters to diverse preferences. Whether you prefer the convenience of pre-packaged single-serve coffee packs or enjoy using your own favorite ground coffee, the FlexBrew® accommodates both. Simply fill the removable reservoir and select your desired brew size, making 8, 10, or 14 oz. cups of coffee without needing to refill the reservoir between brew cycles.
Better Extraction for a Better Cup
Designed for coffee enthusiasts seeking a more robust taste, the FlexBrew® Single-Serve Coffeemakers are an ideal solution. Regardless of the brewing method chosen (grounds or single-serve pack), users can consistently achieve a great-tasting cup of coffee whenever desired.
FlexBrew® Tips and Care
The FlexBrew® Single-Serve Coffeemaker with Removable Reservoir performs optimally with medium-grind coffee. Using coffee that is too finely ground may negatively impact the extraction time or filtering process. Always ensure ground coffee is kept below the MAX fill line.
When using the single-serve pack holder:
- Press down on the edge of the pack until it clicks into place.
- Ensure the hole is punched in the bottom of the pack.
- Do not remove the foil from the single-serve pack.
For the best results:
- Look for coffee beans that were recently roasted.
- Grind the beans fresh for each brew.
- If a grinder is unavailable or time is limited, convenient coffee pods or single-serve packs filled with pre-ground coffee can also be used.
When assessing coffee freshness, check for a "use by" date on the packaging or consult the online recommendations provided by your coffee brand.
