I had big expectations with this Cuisinart product, based upon the name, reputation, and my wife's past experience with them. I was quite disappointed when the first one I received wouldn't work like it was supposed to, and I had to return it. I reordered the same exact unit, as it was (providing it worked) exactly what I wanted. It is a very sharp looking and well-made machine. I allowed for a bad one and, this time, wasn't disappointed again. My new unit works extremely well, as designed. I now have a fresh brewed pot of coffee waiting when I get up in the morning. In the meantime, should I want a hot cup, the single serving side is at my disposal. Hot or iced coffee, anytime, wonderful!

Purchased this coffee maker for the features, the ability to single serve or use the carafe because we have purchased two other coffee makers from Cuisinart in the past with excellent results. Unfortunately, this model did not work right out of the box, issues with the controls & buttons, they did not work properly even when following the instructions in the manual. The single serve side would not work at all. Promptly returned it after reading about others having same issue. Where is the Quality Control, obviously Cuisinart has a problem with this model.

I used it to make K cups and a whole pot of coffee. The K Cup holder/dispenser would not stay open while loading the K Cup. It would slowly slide down not leaving enough room to place the K Cup in the dispenser without manually pushing it open and holding it open to load the K Cup. It was quit noisy through the process. The drip coffee maker on the hand was slow but did make a great pot of coffee. The temperature was very hot and the hot plate stayed on the full 4 hours (unless adjusting it for less) and kept the coffee hot the entire time. Water seemed to leak a little on the single cup side. The machine as a whole did not feel as heavy or sturdy as other Cuisinart machines I have owned. I am returning it and looking for another.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually don't do reviews but felt compelled to do so. I originally purchased a Cafe Coffee Maker a little over a year ago and it fell apart. The gold foil was coming off and the base developed cracks despite never moving it. I researched and purchased the Cuisinart 2 in 1 Coffeemaker and have been AWESOME. Coffee taste is great and the flexibility to do multiple size single servings as well as a whole pot is great ! I really like NOT having to clean the filter and pot everyday as I had to with my Cafe.

I purchased this to replace a Keurig Duo. I love the dual water tanks, the easy set up, the size of the carafe and the Cold Brew option. I drink coffee daily so the timer option comes in handy. This Coffee Center is amazing! The quality is outstanding as well! Cuisinart certainly lives up to their name!

Love the looks and options of this. Coffeemaker. Theo lyvissue i have Hadia that it sometimes will not brew the single cup. It spits and steam comes out then it stops, with only a tablespoon of brewed coffee. It ruins the pod, so I have had to toss it. This happens only at the first use of the day. Subsequent brews work great. Sometimes I just brew first cup of day without the pod and it works fine. I think this is an individual issue with my machine. I do want to say customer service is awesome at Cuisinart. They are wonderful and professional.

We’ve only had this for 2 weeks so it’s hard to write a review right now. Time will tell, but we are enjoying it. Having the carafe and single serving side is so convenient! It’s looks good on the counter and all the buttons are straight forward & easy to understand. I like the features and the little platform that can go down on the single serve side so if you have a mug or cup it’ll be closer to the coffee coming out so it doesn’t splatter everywhere.

This is a nice K-cup/carafe combo. Attractive and easy to set up. Our office has had it for about 3 weeks. The single serve works just fine. The carafe option generally does, but I had one instance this morning where I put in the water and coffee, hit the carafe and brew buttons and only about 1/8 of a cup of coffee came out. I had to empty everything out and start over. Then it worked. Hopefully this won't happen again, but I will monitor.

I've been a fan of Cuisinart products for a long time. I have always found them to be innovative and reliable. I've have found the 2in1 coffee maker to not disappoint! Looking forward to many good cups of coffee using both the carafe and pod option.

Makes great coffee, both brewed and Keurig. One bad feature is that you have to set it to bold every time you do a brew and there’s no way to set it to bold for a timed brew in the future. If you want it bold you should be able to get it bold every time you do a brew. Need to fix this.
