This is a great and (so far) reliable coffee maker. I was fed up with the terrible quality and construction and unreliability of Keurig coffee makers. They’ve really become increasingly worse over the years. This coffee maker has allowed me to keep using all of the pods & accessories we already have as well as to brew drip into a carafe. BTW both methods make better coffee than any of the Keurigs I’ve owned. This unit has all of the important features while remaining simple and intuitive to use. It also looks good! There are 2 reasons I gave 4 (instead of 5) stars: 1. The ‘Bold’ feature only works for the drip brewer side (it should REALLY be available for pod brewing too). 2. Cuisinart should really offer a stainless, thermal carafe for this brewer (even if it’s just as an optional, additional purchase).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The alliance makes good coffee. The display is very easy to see even in low light conditions. The controls once you have used them for a while become intuitive. The only thing that I would recommend changing is the lid for the carafe. It is a snap on lid. I personally think a hinged lid would be easier to use.

I love this coffee maker station. I was hesitant to get it as I’d seen reviews of people having issues with the pods so of course that was the 1st thing I tested because I generally make 1 cup a day and it worked beautifully. The carafe also comes in handy. It’s fast for both in my opinion. This is a space saver as you’re getting 2 in one. It’s also a stylish addition to the kitchen. Even though I haven’t tried features like setting up a schedule or even brewing over ice, I would recommend this coffee maker

We were looking for a coffeemaker that would allow us to brew a single cup-with a kcup and our own coffee; as well as brew a whole pot. This coffeemaker gives many options! It brews a hot cup of coffee in a short time. Im very happy with this coffeemaker!

This coffee machine is a very handy and versatile product that offers a variety of options. Between the quick easy options of a full pot of coffee or a single serve you have a multitude of choices. It is handy with the scheduling function to set it to make it the next morning so you are awaken by the fresh smell of coffee. I highly recommend this machine for all.

This is my 3rd Cuisinart and second with the Pod accessory. I haven’t tried the iced coffee feature but love the simplicity of the features, very intuitive. I poured the water in my old one from the other side so that still seems awkward. It brews a great cup of coffee! The pod is always handy for someone that wants decaf or iced.

I love the coffee pot after an hour and half trying to get the pod to work. I then googled and learned that you have to press a tiny dome button for 10 seconds and the pod light starts to blink. The location of this button is behind where you would place the pod. There should have been at least a slip of paper in the trouble shooting area of the booklet with this information… who would know?!!

Outstanding coffee maker! Brews quickly and the coffee is HOT! The appliance has options for cold-brewing, which is a nice option. It is such a space saver to have both the single cup and the carafe in one unit. Excellent choice for those who love coffee.

This machine is my most favorite by a long shot! I bought a competitor machine prior to this one and it leaked all over the place and clogged up within two weeks. This is VERY well made and satisfies whatever you are craving - a lot or just one cup. I am thrilled with this purchase and will buy one for every family member at birthday time. I LOVE IT!!

Love this coffee maker! Everything you need in one package! I use the single serve every day, but nice to know if I have company I don’t have to drag out another coffee pot. I love the size options for the single serve side and the option to use a reusable pod with my own coffee. I haven’t used the pot yet but I love that it can be programmed so I can set it up long before company comes. Great product!
