This coffee maker is excellent. It's not super fancy, but the Keurig pod-style feature and the iced coffee feature are great additions. Very easy to use, brews quickly, easy to clean. A solid purchase.

Many good features such as programmability, bold taste, coffee temperature options, etc. One downside is that when using the single-cup feature, the piercing of the pod makes a huge mess with ground coffee spilling all over that side of the coffee maker. I don't know if the point isn't sharp enough or what, but that's a major disappointment.

Coffee center works well and we like the option of single serving and pot size. The tall size makes it difficult to make a pot if you keep it under the cabinet. You can remove the single side water reservoir to fill but have to pull the whole unit to raise the lid and fill the pot side due to separate water reservoirs. Overall it works great.

This is our third cuisnart coffee maker and we love it. Absolutely beautiful and makes the best coffee. Our daughter is a nurse and has to get up at crazy hours. She uses the auto start programing and loves the coffee is ready when she wakes. Great job cuisnart, the whole family loves it.

Machine works great; heats up fast and makes great tasting coffee in both the brewed and pod functions. This is my 6th Cuisinart coffee maker. My only complaint is that the plastic parts are cheaper and less quality Cuisinart coffee makers. My basket has already come apart after only a few uses. Hopefully Cuisinart will get the manufacturer to fix this or change manufacturers.

The directions could be a little bit more clear, especially on the delay for brewing. But since I don't use that function very often I can get by The liquid coffee the directions could be a little bit more clear, especially on the delay for brewing. But since I don’t use that function very often I can get by The the maker makes extremely hot coffee, which is great compared to my Keurig that I had. I would highly recommend this model.

Like the design, and love the quality of our other Cuisinart appliances. But, using only 10 cups of water and only 8 scoops of medium grind coffee, the grounds seem to be forced up the sides of the paper filter and down into the carafe along with the coffee. The only way we have been able to make coffee without grinds is to place a paper filter inside the reusable metal filter which holds the paper filter a bit higher.

Great coffee maker. I like my coffee strong and flavorful. This machine does that. The filter basket is large enough to hold the amount of ground coffee to do that. My wife likes hers strong, but not as strong as mine, so we are able to use the single cup station to make her cup separately. Very handy. It's a very versatile machine and we are enjoying it every day.

So far I'm quite pleased with my purchase. Everything is laid out for easy access and use. I appreciate having the ability to change the temperature of the hotplate and the auto off. Also like the "bold" function. I've used the reusable k cup numerous times using my own coffee. Really like this when all I want is a quick cup without having to purchase more expensive k cups. Would I recommend... Absolutely.

I bought this to replace two counter top units. It is a good looking unit that works very well in both capacities. I seldom use the automatic start function but it is nice to have, the brewer works very well and I really like the bold selection to add a bit more flavor to the brew. The single serve is very handy for when the urge hits for the odd cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
