We do love the coffee maker overall. But the design for the caraffe, putting in and taking out off the hot plate is very rough. It does not slide in and out well at all. The piece that allows you to pull caraffe out while brewing does not engage and disengage well at all. Also, the design of the lid on the caraffe is poor. The two small tabs the lock the lid in place break off easily and it is not user-friendly to put on and take off. It does make good coffee and the k-pod works very well.

I had both a single coffee maker and a 12 cup coffee maker. Together, they took up too much counter space and I was moving my 12 cup maker to the pantry when we did not have company. Then, I was introduced to the 2-1 coffee maker. I reviewed several makes and settled on the Cuisinart. The quality, price, and reputation helped guide my decision. I was able to use the Coffee Center over the holidays when we had family and guests for several days. We made the correct choice.

Makes a great cup or coffee, but has quality issues. First one lasted about 4 months until is started leaking internally. Replacement was recieved and the pod side didn't work. Another replacement and this one works. We will see how long it lasts. Customer service was fast and friendly, though.

I hesitated to pull the trigger after reading so many bad reviews, but there is a limited choice out there for dual brewing machines, so i rolled the dice with this one. My machine is working after a month and I couldn't be happier with it. The single serve side is my favorite of any I've had so far and we all know they only live a year or two, so I've had many. The glass carafe feels razor thin and cheap. I make a point to be extra gentle with it so it lasts. I'm sure replacements are available somewhere and it's not a deal breaker if I smash it. I am happy enough with the functionality of both halves of the machine that I will happily deal with this. I will update if the machine dies prematurely. If so, I won't try any of the other dual machines and will buy sesperate cheapo machines and consider them disposable when they break every year.

I really love my new coffee center 2-in-1, however, I have to take the water reservoir out of the center after brewing a cup or water runs all over the counter. It is very disappointing to have the reservoir sitting separately on the counter. I’m not sure how to fix this problem as I’ve already returned one for the same issue.

We love this coffee maker. Easy to set up and the bonus of having a single serve option is vital. Our old machine (different brand) had that feature, but the Cuisinart option brews very fast. It has a tank for water for the single serve and brews right away. The coffee maker itself has many great features. We've had this unit for about a month and love it.

This unit is replacing a Cuisinart coffee maker that I purchased in 2016. I lived in Tennessee when I bought it, it moved with me from Tennessee to Ohio and then to Alabama over the course of 8 years. It was a great unit as is the new one. The new one is so much more versatile, we have used the pod side for everything from coffee to mullein tea, it’s a great unit.

Better than expected. The only minor problem would be the refillable cup that you put your own coffee in the lid looks like in time the plastic tab holding the lid will break off. Also my old coffee maker would go up to 14 cups this one goes up to 12 cups. Other than that the coffee maker has been working great

I've been waiting to purchase this coffee maker for a while now and am so glad I finally did! On busy mornings I can do a quick single cup and on weekends brew a pot of coffee. I also love this for when I have company. My coffee tastes so much better than the previous k cup only machine I had.

I love my 2 in 1 coffee center! Saves lots of room on my counter top. Only wish is that the pod water container was a lil bigger. Can only make 2 cups of coffee before you have to refill the container. Small hiccup comparing to the advantages of having only one appliance instead of two!
