Not only is this coffee pot a beautiful kitchen appliance but the taste of the coffee is great. I am impressed with a company who stands behind their product. The first one I bought had a flaw of some kind in the pod side. It was replaced with a new appliance and so far everything is working great.

Hoping I am not jinxing myself, I have to say we are very happy with our purchase. We had a different Cuisinart prior to this one and we loved that one as well. Only shopped for a new one because our daughter accidentally broke the carafe. I would recommend this product.

Overall this is a great coffee maker and I do like it and would recommend. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that on the pod side the water reservoir is pretty small and you have to add water after just a few uses (and I normally use the 6oz-8oz cup sizes).

Function, ease of use, style and size of this particular coffee system were all considered in this review. It produces a great cup of coffee. The choices between ice and hot coffee are a wonderful option. The hot plate keeps the coffee at an ideal temperature of your choice. I would have liked a higher space for a taller cup I use. That is not a problem if you just buy a shorter one. Overall, I am totally satisfied with this purchase.

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?!!

I think Cuisinart coffee markers are 5 stars, generally, but I am annoyed with this purchase. I specifically bought this because of the ice coffee feature. To me, the process results in hot coffee poured over ice, ending up with luke-warm, watered-down coffee. I wish I returned thus product and bought a less expensive traditional coffee maker.

Great coffee maker, both options pod and carafe are functional at the same time so if I have a full pot brewing someone else can do a pod of a specialty coffee if desired, auto start is also a good option, size is perfect because it slides under the upper cabinets and it doesn’t take lot of space.

Getting ready to return it. Used it over the holiday. If your regular size coffee cup is slightly higher (different coffee cups) then you can’t brew the single cup on the top shelf and have to use the one on the bottom. Disappointment. In regard's to the carafe, two pots overflowed with ground coffee and I only used 7 spoons. The pot had only been used 2 times. What a mess. Seems flimsy.

Among its other attributes, this appliance is a great space saver! It is well made, makes great coffee and has great temperature control. It is the perfect size for limited counter space and I love all the handy and easy-to-use functions! It does only puncture one hole in the pods, but that doesn't seem to make a difference in the coffee as compared to the Keurig that it replaced. The only downside is that it is a little more "vocal" than my previous Cuisinart coffee maker, but I will trade a tiny bit of perking noise for all the other plusses.

I purchased two of these coffee makers within two weeks. I was so excited because it had everything I wanted. On the third use, the hot plate began smoking very badly. It filled my kitchen. I reported it and returned it. After ordering a second one, the single pod button wouldn’t even turn on. I was extremely disappointed because all Cuisinart products I have are great.
