The pros--it's NOT a Keurig (I had problems with them), it looks nice & it keeps my coffee pretty warm. The cons--the 2 water tank system. We use bottled water...I don't drink many k-cups, usually just a couple here & there. To fill it to minimum fill, I waste water because you can't keep it in there for more than a couple of days. Plus I've had a few disasters with the k cups splattering all over. Don't even get me started on the programming. I guess I should have researched more but I have quite a few Cuisinart products & I like every one of them I'm very unhappy right now.

The concept for this machine is good. The brew pot is fine, but in my experience the coffee tastes scorched. It may be the newness of the machine. The problem I have consistently had is with the single pod brewing side. I had an older version of this same machine that eventually leaked from where the water tank connected to the coffee maker. I switched manufacturers and finally decided to return to Cuisinart in order to have both single and large pot options in one machine. With the brand new machine, I immediately had issues with the water reservoir leaking completely out onto my counter and floor. I contacted the warranty office and they send me a new clear plastic tank. Obviously not the problem because it leaked again. I recontacted them about the problem. I have now been sent a new machine. One day in and it is fine. My concern is how it will hold up long term as my last coffee station leaked after about a year of use. We will see. I was disappointed this time around to have the brand new coffee maker exhibit the leaking issue. It gave me a little bit of PTSD.

I was a little concerned based on some reviews I saw, but this coffee maker has exceeded my expectations. It makes great coffee - both hot and iced, bold or regular, in a pot or a k-cup. It is bigger than I expected, but works well in my RV. It has a 2 year warranty but I don't expect to have to use it. I got a great deal on it too!! I highly recommend.

This is a very nice coffeemaker and it brews a good cup of coffee. I like how the drip has multiple holes that the water comes out and it goes through all the coffee evenly giving you a better taste.On the pod water container there is a groove that the container has to go into it is towards the top so make sure the water container is in the groove correctly otherwise it will indicate there is no water. It takes the #4 coffee filters and when you install the paper filters make sure you fold over the pleated side and bottom before you insert into the coffeemaker.

This is our second Cuisinart dual brew. The single brew side of the first one stopped working after eight years. We have another brand in our RV but prefer the Cuisinart. After researching options online we decided to stick with the Cuisinart. We like the design of the new one better. It makes a good pot of coffee and the pod side has several brew sizes.

Was looking for a coffee maker that could brew a large pot as well as k-cup pods and this coffee maker has been great so far! Brews hot coffee quickly and is easy to clean. Only downside is the small shelf under the single serve section is plastic and feels flimsy, would be nice to see that piece be made of metal and more firm.

I love this coffee maker. First, we have black stainless steel appliances in our kitchen. It is difficult to find kitchen appliances that match, and this black stainless steel Cuisinart Duo Coffee maker is a perfect match. I have had a few Kuerig coffee makers over the past few years, 2 of which have since broken. I don't expect an appliance to last forever, but when 2 of these quit working, I decided to search for something else. That is when I came across this Cuisinart coffee maker. The coffee maker comes with 2 types of brewing choices in a single unit. There is a traditional brewing side, with a 12 cup carafe for making larger quantities of coffee, and a pod side for single serve coffee. Each side has its own water dispenser, which I like. For the brewing side, you place the amount of water for how many cups you would like to brew into the water reservoir and it will brew exactly that amount. Each side also contains a holder to place a charcoal filter in to purify the water. Two filters are included with the coffee maker when you purchase it. There are several features on this maker that I absolutely love. The brewing side can be set to automatic brew, so you can have a pot of coffee waiting for you at whatever time of day you choose. It comes with a mesh perma-filter, or you can choose to use disposable paper filters instead. It also features (and this is my very favorite), a “bold” button for brewing extra strong coffee. You can also choose to brew your coffee over ice, to make a delicious cold drink. With the first cup of coffee I made with this machine, I used the pod side, and it was one of the best cups of coffee I have had in years. Of course, I set the timer for the brewing side for the next morning, so I could check it out. It surpassed my expectations. The coffee maker was quiet, so I was not even sure it had made the coffee, until the exquisite aroma reached the bedroom. I was in coffee paradise. The pod side also has some excellent features. The coffee maker can accommodate several sizes of cups and travel mugs. For single cups or small travel mugs, there is a flip down cup holder that fits the short sizes perfectly. For an average tumbler, you just put your tumbler on the bottom base to brew. For tall travel mugs, the bottom tray lid can be removed to fit the larger tumblers. You can select 4,6,8,10, or 12 oz. brewing capacities. This is a great, versatile feature. The single serve water reservoir holds up to 42 oz. of water and has a convenient handle to allow easy removal/replacement. This coffee maker is sleek, compact, lightweight, extremely functional, and brews excellent coffee. I could not ask for more. It has features I did not even know I wanted until I had them. I am so very happy with my coffee maker, I have already recommended it to a friend.

We're a family of coffee drinkers so this K-cup / whole carafe-brewing machine gets a workout. Yeah - we grind our own beans 🫘 too! The carafe brewer works flawlessly and the K-cup is handy for single serve moments. So no complaints here after 2 + months of daily use. Try it - you'll like it.

This is the second coffee maker I have had of the same model. It's easy to use and especially easy to keep clean. Just use vinegar and water, no special cleaners to buy. I love that I can make a 12 cup carafe or use k-cups if we prefer. The glass coffee pot, lid and inside filter basket are all dishwasher safe. Best one on the market and a reasonable price.

The Coffee Center 2-in-1 Coffeemaker has great features, allowing for the brewing of a pot up to 12 cups using ground coffee or a single cup of various sizes using a K-cup pod. We like it so much, this is our third one. The one drawback is the water tanks. The tank for the pot is in the back of the unit and since the top swings up from the back, you must pour water in from the side, which is a little awkward. The tank for the pod side comes off for easy cleaning and filling, but after more than a year of near daily putting it off and on, it leaks. This drawback has not been significant enough to keep us replacing on CC 2-in-1 with another. The coffee is great and the versatility can't be beat.
