I am very impressed with this coffee maker. It is simple to use and actually makes a great tasting cup of coffee. Easy to say, this coffee maker is the best automatic coffee maker I have ever owned.

We bought a Keurig it lasted 21 days, we bought a pantry café. It lasted eight months so now we have our Cuisinart two in one coffee maker and have had it six weeks, so far so good longevity is the goal.

I have had this model for almost 2 years and have really enjoyed it. The versatility is great. The coffee is great. The "over ice" option is nice, just know that it's still hot coffee coming out. I think it just makes it really strong so that the melting ice doesn't dilute it too much. You then need to pour it over more ice, but it's much faster than making coffee and waiting for it to cool in the refrigerator. I must say that Cuisinart really exceeded my expectations when my coffee maker started smoking. They sent me a new one in 3 days! So, keep your receipts and do whatever you need to for the warranty. But, I'm kinda glad it happened, because I got a new coffeemaker that I love.

Excellent quality and easy to operate! Love that it came with an optional k-cup filter which I use daily for my mushroom coffee. We also use pre-filled k-cops and occasionally the carafe. We like having the option, carafe is suitable with guests. It’s also very sleek looking. We have had kurig in the past and have found them not to be long lasting, hopefully this is going to be the one! So far so great!

This is my 3rd 2 in one Coffee maker. The most recent one is an updated version which I like. It automatically shuts off after brewing the one cup. The older ones had to be switched on and off. It also brews 12 oz cups too, which the last one went up to 10oz. Its a good coffee maker.

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.

While I’ve only had it a few weeks, I am very pleased with the coffee maker. Makes excellent coffee and having the option to make one cup or a pot is a big plus. Doesn’t take up as much counter space as my old unit and many of the other brands that I looked at before purchasing the Cuisinart.

Love the 2-in-1 coffeemaker! The coffee is delicious, and I love the convenience of the k-cup pods. The unit is attractive and easy to keep clean, comes with 2 water filters, one for the pod side and the other for the drip reservoir. Also includes a gold-mesh filter for grounds. The black stainless is an elegant look too.

This coffeemaker makes really good coffee. I have used all three modes, and it's perfect for a carafe when I need more coffee, or just one cup when I'm in my own. I'm super impressed with the iced coffee mode. The coffee doesn't taste like it's watered down by the ice.

This Coffee Center® SS-16 2-IN-1 Coffeemaker replaced a malfunctioning single pod brewing unit in our model SS-15 that was used once or more daily for both pods and carafes for nine years. Both the list price and the selling prices are significantly lower than the SS-15 was 9 years ago. The SS-16 model is nearly a mirror image of the SS-15 it replaced, with single Pod brewing now on the left, and the Carafe brewing now on the right. The functions of both models are substantially the same, although the electronics are more integrated, with all selection buttons now only on the Carafe side of the unit. The SS-16 uses the same small carbon filters in the water reservoirs, (two included with the new unit) and the same size paper basket filter as the now-discontinued SS-15 (several paper filters also included with the new unit), so we didn't have to purchase anything new. The 12-cup SS-16 carafe is also identical to the 12-cup SS-15 carafe, so now we have an extra carafe, in case we manage to break one. The SS-16 Pod brewer now offers more choices for the amount of water dispensed, ranging from 4-ounces to 12-ounces in 2-ounce increments. It defaults to 8-ounces. If you use the other amounts, it COULD be an improvement over the three (6-8-10 ounce) button choices of the SS-15. However, if you want a different amount than default 8 oz dispensed, it now requires multiple Pod button-presses to select capacity, AND a press of the Brew/Off button, instead of pushing just one button to both select capacity and begin brewing a pod in the SS-15. Starting to brew a Carafe of coffee now requires selecting Carafe, and then pressing the Brew/Off button. On the SS-15, only one button press was necessary. We noticed that the SS-16 Pod side seems to brew at a higher water temperature than our old SS-15, because the freshly-brewed pods are now too hot to remove with bare fingers immediately after brewing, but after 9 years, the SS-15 brewing temperature may have decreased with age. The SS-16 has a single center LED indicating both Carafe or Pod brewing by pulsing, and steady-on to indicate 'keep warm' after brewing.
