It nice to have both options, and it safes counter space. The carafe side works fine - it works similar to the the older model that I had....The pod side is a little bit more finicky...Initially, I had trouble with it punching a good hole...but I discovered that there were protective rubber cover on the pins. Once I removed the protective cover, it worked fine (the manual doesn't indicate the rubber should be removed). When you place the reservoir back after filling, it needs to be perfectly aligned, or it doesn't work. I also wish the reservoir was larger...but I guess the reservoir size was sacrifice in order to combine it. So far, I would buy this product again

I like this coffee device but give it a 4 star only . The coffee isn’t hot enough when done just warm . and i need to put it in the microwave to heat. Not boiling hot but reasonably hot as coffee should be drunk . So there is where my disappointment lies .

Getting ready to return it. Used it over the holiday. If your regular size coffee cup is slightly higher (different coffee cups) then you can’t brew the single cup on the top shelf and have to use the one on the bottom. Disappointment. In regard's to the carafe, two pots overflowed with ground coffee and I only used 7 spoons. The pot had only been used 2 times. What a mess. Seems flimsy.

The redesigned Coffee Center is better than the SS-15 that it replaced. It is easier to fill the carafe side reservoir. The main drawback was attempting to use the brew setting on the carafe side. For the first week or so, we had to repeatedly hit the carafe button to get it to light up, and then the same with the brew button. Now, it only takes one touch for each.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great coffee maker! Easy to use and my coffee tastes great. It brews just a little slower but that's why the coffee tastes better. It fits under my kitchen cupboards perfectly, slides easily on the counter top, and isn't overly wide.

For the price it has it all. Fast and convenient and makes a great cup of coffee. Single or full carafe is easy to do makes our mornings fun again. The carafe pours nicely with no spills and the reusable filter saves time and money. Highly recommend to anyone who wants an affordable and easy to use coffee maker.

Disappointed. This is my second two in one machine from Cuisinart. The first one had a stainless steel pit, but function rather well. What I didn’t like about that one, is that the coffee didn’t stay hot enough for me. When I saw this redesign model with a glass pot, I thought great! This one will stay hotter. So I bought it, just before Thanksgiving, knowing that people would want a single cup of coffee to go with their pie. However, the daycare and the single cup side did not work. Would not turn on at all, so I returned it and exchanged it for the same one. The new one seems to work OK, but it has alerted me to clean it twice and I’ve only had it for like two weeks? It’s also impossible to fill the reservoir for the pot side without dumping water everywhere. Again, I reiterate with a brand that should be trusted, like Cuisinart, and the price point on this machine, these are little things. I hope they consider for their next redesign.

I bought this coffee maker as a replacement for a previous one that stopped working. This is a newer design and the Pod side has been reversed, now being on the left which is awkward for a right handed person. I personally think the added fold down platform for shorter cups/mugs is unnecessary.

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.

Love the upgrades to this over the last model we had. The cup shelf is needed. We always had to put an upsdie down bowl under to old one. And the larger lip to catch the runoff on the back is awsome! We were tired of finding a puddle back there. Thansk for improving it!
