[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually don't do reviews but felt compelled to do so. I originally purchased a Cafe Coffee Maker a little over a year ago and it fell apart. The gold foil was coming off and the base developed cracks despite never moving it. I researched and purchased the Cuisinart 2 in 1 Coffeemaker and have been AWESOME. Coffee taste is great and the flexibility to do multiple size single servings as well as a whole pot is great ! I really like NOT having to clean the filter and pot everyday as I had to with my Cafe.

awesome. does what i like and makes it easy. my only knock and maybe with all pod based brews is the coffee is not as hot as i like it to be. i tend to make a small 4 cup pot instead of going the pod route. i do like the reusable pod to use my own coffee. i bought extras so i had some in rotation as they need to dry out before using again. i use the program feature as well. it is nice to set it for a time and the coffee is waiting on you.

Doesn’t work with k cups. The machine attempted to overpressure the cup causing them to explode and leak water and grounds everywhere. Happened several times even after cleaning the machine. Oh, it was only days old. Returned and bought new keurig machine.

I purchased this machine because I wanted the option to grind my beans for a perfect cup and a timer so I could have coffee in the morning without waiting and be able to use kcups for one cup option this is the one I love makes perfect coffee every time.

After researching many brands husband and I settled on Cuisinart 2 in one coffee maker. It did not disappoint, I look forward to the best cup of coffee every morning. I treat myself to a midday cup with the one cup side. Skip the coffee shop, I am the barista now!

So far it's been great! Makes a great cup of coffee in the carafe and the pod function works better than my old Keurig; it's especially easy to refill the water reservoir using the internal handle. If its reliable for a few years, it will have been a perfect purchase for me.

Really nice machine, an incremental update (upgrade?) from previous versions. Convenience of both types is fantastic. The good: for pods it has multiple selection of sizes, coffee tastes great from both sides, and makes it very quickly. Areas where if addressed I would give it 5 stars: permanent filter lets through grinds still. Using paper ones eliminates it (for 10cups+). Lesser Cuisinart models allow to mute the beeping that coffee is ready or when heating plate timer turns off - why not have this feature here? And last, I'm still waiting for wifi/bluetooth connection and an app to control my coffeemaker. Cuisinart - you must have this already!

We love the single serve side although he water tank could be a tad larger, say 50% larger. The brew/carafe side is a bit more challenging. Buttons on that side, their purpose and how they operate is confusing and instructions are not straightforward. Its taken us some time to figure out. (I normally "get it" right away when using new appliances. My spouse does not. That's why we gave it a 3-star rating.) Overall, we like it. It makes coffee. We would buy the same unit again.

This machine brews a tasty cup of coffee, it is ,however, very noisy. It spits and sputters loudly. The coffe grounds often are splashed up over the sides of the basket. If the top is opened while the carafe is still on it will cough and sputter loudly and eject steam from within the water reservoir. This is rather annoying during a quiet morning while others in the household are still sleeping. For this reason I would be hesitant to give a high recommendation. Feedback would be appreciated.

I always buy Cuisinart for the quality and customer service. The 2:1 coffee maker boils over coffee if the filter is not in just right. The single pod coffee part spits water in it so hard sometimes coffee grinds get in the cup. The buttons have to be pushed in the correct order or they dont work. But the coffee is good and I like the adjustable carafe heat and different pod options.
