I’ve always wanted a Cuisinart coffee maker. I finally got one before Christmas. I do love it but the coffee carafe doesn’t pour well with a full pot. The lid of the pot doesn’t hinge open, it comes completely off. At least we haven’t found any way around the little things.

We've owned at least 3 of the previous model, and continue to find this the best coffee pot for our needs. We need two water reservoirs because we have a water softener and the ions in the softened water cause the single cups to clog. We use purchased filtered water for the single cup reservoir and regular tap water for the carafe side. The new design has the pot on the right side, which makes it easier for those of us who are right handed to fill (sorry lefties). The programming has been tweaked to be quite straightforward. I only wish we could brew on the bold setting when auto programming.

My first Cuisinart coffee maker leaked water the whole time I had it for 12 years.This time I decided to be proactive and actually used the warranty if I had a problem with my new one. And sure enough I had a problem with it. Hopefully this replacement will last and not malfunction.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coffee pot is quick to brew. The option to make a pot or use a pod is a nice thing. All in all good purchase. Down side the pot side is hard to fill without slopping. Would be nice to be able to remove the resivor to fill with water. Also the clean light came on after not very many uses.

It’s easy to use. The instructions are fairly clear and simple. I love the duality of a single cup or full pot option. That was what I was missing in my kitchen. I upgraded from a keurig when I needed a pot for a group. I like grinding my own coffee with the option of using it in either mode. It’s cumbersome to do that with more than one cup at a time as in the keurig. The only think I wish that it did was grind the beans too. Otherwise I think it’s a great maker.

There's much to like and on balance we're very happy with the maker. Could be better with a differently designed means of filling the coffee maker's reservoir as the filter holder is in the way when pouring to fill. Also, the ability to brew a pot and simultaneously make a K-cup while brewing would be great.

I had big expectations with this Cuisinart product, based upon the name, reputation, and my wife's past experience with them. I was quite disappointed when the first one I received wouldn't work like it was supposed to, and I had to return it. I reordered the same exact unit, as it was (providing it worked) exactly what I wanted. It is a very sharp looking and well-made machine. I allowed for a bad one and, this time, wasn't disappointed again. My new unit works extremely well, as designed. I now have a fresh brewed pot of coffee waiting when I get up in the morning. In the meantime, should I want a hot cup, the single serving side is at my disposal. Hot or iced coffee, anytime, wonderful!

I like the machine overall. The pod coffee side does not work properly. You have to hold the top closed to get it to complete the process. They have offered to replace the unit but require that I send it back before I can get a new one. I don’t have a box to ship it in and would be without a coffeemaker during the process. Haven’t decided if I will return it yet or just hold the top down when using the pjs side.

I bought this to replace a single-serve coffee maker that wore out. I wanted one with a single and a drip-pot for groups. So far it works great. I use the single most of the time with the provided coffee grounds cup. I don't use k-cups thought they work just fine. It make s a nice cup of coffee. The screen filter leaves a fine residue so I bought some paper filters for it. I think it makes a better cup. Otherwise a well-made piece of equipment

I've been using Cuisinart coffeemaker for 20 years now. The last one, a combo like this was acting up. Nice to see they listened to those complaining about the side the carafe was on. That left side placement was awkward for the majority of us righthand people. Relieving pressure to open pod side a big improvement as well. Can't see me ever going to a different brand.
