Its nice having the options of a pot of coffee and a K-Cup in the same machine. It provides a smaller footprint on the counter. However, I have found that if you don't insure the filter basket is completely snapped into place, the next pot of coffee may have grounds of coffee in the pot, as well as, in the filter basket area.

I am truly satisfied with the purchase of this coffee maker. I love that it has a lot of diversity, able to make hot or cold coffee, single cup or whole pot. I also love that the actual pot does not spill out the sides when I pour my coffee like some of the coffee pots I’ve had in the past. I would most certainly buy this again if I needed it.

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.

This is a great coffee maker. I wanted a new one with both a carafe and k cup option and this fits the bill. It makes great coffee and looks great too. Don't hesitate to purchase this. Also, don't fret with the weird shaped filter requirement. Regular filters will fit in there just fine too. Just tuck them in and no problems.

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.

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.

This is a wonderful coffeemaker. We also have the original to this, but this 2 in 1 is better because of being able to set it up for iced coffee, as well as hot. Very easy to operate, just like all Cuisinart coffeemakers. We love the ease of setting the auto time feature, having the carafe temperature settings, and the auto off time you can set between 1-4 hours. We primarily use the carafe side, but the single cup side works great too. All around we are a Cuisinart family (several coffeemakers, plus the coffee bean grinder). Great product as usual.

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.

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!

I love having a coffee maker that gives me an option of single cup or whole pot when company comes. I've had a Keurig duo for years. I started feeling like the coffee didn't taste quite as good anymore. I purchased this Cuisinart two in one coffee maker, and love the flavor of my coffee now. I also love all the options for different size, cups, different temperatures for the carafe, the bold setting
