Brand: Generic Drew Barrymore Elegant Multi-Brew Coffee Maker Review — Review
For households where one person wants a quick single cup while another needs a full pot, the Drew Barrymore Elegant Multi-Brew Coffee Maker offers a practical solution. This machine brews both a 12-cup carafe and a single serving using either K-Cup pods or ground coffee. It heats up fast, delivering a single cup in under 70 seconds. An exclusive Over Ice mode lets you brew directly over ice without dilution. The sleek Porcini Taupe or White Icing finish with a touch-activated display adds modern style to any counter.
Product Overview
The Elegant Multi-Brew is designed for flexibility. A 40-ounce removable water tank reduces refills for multiple cups. The adjustable drip tray accommodates travel mugs up to 7 inches tall. Included accessories: a reusable gold-tone filter for grounds, a single-serve filter, a pod adapter, and a measuring scoop. The carafe is glass, and the body is plastic with a modern finish. Keep Warm mode holds carafe temperature for up to 4 hours. Three brew strength settings allow customization for the full carafe. The machine operates at 1200 watts and is fully automatic. Cleaning requires wiping after pod brewing, as the review notes some splashing.

Build & Materials
The coffee maker combines a plastic body with a glass carafe. The touch-activated screen only lights up when in use, saving power and reducing glare. The 40-ounce water tank is removable for easy refilling. The drip tray adjusts to fit taller mugs. The included gold-tone filter is reusable, cutting down on paper waste.
The design is modern and available in two colors: Porcini Taupe and White Icing. The carafe handle is sturdy and the lid seals well to prevent drips during pouring. The machine's footprint is compact enough for most countertops, though exact dimensions are not specified.
Shot Quality
The single-serve brewing produces a hot cup quickly. The Over Ice mode makes a strong concentrate that stays flavorful over ice. The carafe brew is consistent with adjustable strength. However, the single-serve pod brewing tends to splash coffee droplets on the counter and machine, as noted by a user. This may require extra cleaning.
The Keep Warm function works effectively, but the carafe may not maintain optimal temperature beyond 4 hours. Overall, the machine delivers satisfactory coffee quality for both brewing methods, though the splashing is a notable drawback that affects the user experience.
