[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the coffee maker a few weeks ago and it has taken a bit of time to figure out all the buttons and sequencers to make it all work as needed. After getting acclimated I am very pleased with being able to make a pot if needed or use the POD for single cup brewing.

My Keurig duo died after a few years and wanted something similar. I love that it comes with a reusable coffee filter basket and resuable k cup pod. Both work great. It took me a bit to figure out how to program it but works perfectly. There are 2 water reservoirs (one for large pot and other for the single cups) the large water reservoir works just like a regular coffee machine and uses the full amount of water you pour in it so you need to fill it up each time but is not really a big deal and allows you to contol the amount of coffee you are making.Hope this lasts longer then my Keurig did.

I received my first coffee center at Christmas. It sounded like a freight train when brewing and woke us up when set for auto brew. The single serve sounded the same and pods exploded. I received my replacement and once again the machine is extremely noisy when brewing to the point it is my alarm clock in the morning when using auto brew. I want to like this coffee maker because it makes hot coffee but it is so loud. Also even though you fill the reservoir with based on the markings I never get that amount. I feel like returning it for the second time.

We have used for about 1 week and not experienced the leaking or other issues noted in other reviews. However, this is my 4th Cuisinart coffee maker and this machine does not make the coffee as bold as my previous models, nor does the coffee temp brew as hot as my others. The coffee temp is set on High and it comes out warm enough to drink but cools off quickly even in a stainless steel cup. I am returning it.

This machine looks really nice so I purchased the black stainless. Once I received it, I was preparing the initial „set up“ like running water through the coffee maker then attempting to do the same in the K-Cup side when the pod button wouldn't illuminate or turn on. I called Cuisinart customer service and she walked me through several troubleshooting attempts. To no avail the machine was defective. I returned it to Sam's Club for a refund. Reordered the same machine (in store they only sell stainless steel not black SS) once I received the machine again, same issue. It's really frustrating that the K-Cup wouldn't work on either machine because what a nice looking brew machine it is. But I returned a second time and will not purchase again. After reading reviews, this machine gets about 3.2 stars.

I bought this coffee maker about 2 weeks ago. I have a regular Cuisinart coffee maker that I have had for over 10 years. I love it but thought I wanted one that would brew a pot of coffee or one K-cup of coffee, plus I liked the idea of having a water reservoir so I could keep water ready for a cup. I don't understand, but when I put water in the K-pod reservoir the water leaks out all over my counter. The first time I thought maybe I didn't get the reservoir on right, so the next time I paid close attention and made sure it was on right and secure. The same thing happened. Water leaked all over the counter. Has anyone else had this happen? It is so frustrating and disappointing that a Cuisinart product would be this defective. I should have gone with the Ninja one I was looking at first.

This 4 day old coffee maker is leaking from the base under the hot plate for the carafe, and exploding K-cups in the single serve side. So I would have to say this machine doesn't work and should not be bought unless you want your kitchen to be a wet mess.

Purchased this morning. Excited to have a duo option. Unboxed it. Washed it all up. Installed the filters. Ran the initial setup on the carafe side. Solid! Ran the initial setup on the Pod side… Nadda! The button doesn't even work! Doesn't light up. Zero functionality. Next time plug it in first before you go through all the hassle of getting everything wet thus delaying its immediate return.

Purchased a little over three months ago, and now it is leaking internally from the K cup water reservoir feed. This morning, I found that it leaked about 4 ounces of water overnight onto our coffee cart and kitchen floor. Otherwise, it's been a good coffeemaker that serves the single-serve/full pot-o'-mud coffee needs of our household. Going back to Sam's Club to exchange for another one that hopefully does not leak.

i received this coffee maker on October 3rd, we use it daily. the carafe works fine, the pod side is horrible! it doesn't empty the pods, sometimes they are full after brewing. I have used Cuisinart dual brewers for years, very disappointed in this one!
