I like the machine quite a bit. However, the cup water reservoir requires you to fill it up when there is still 1/3 of the water left and doesn't let you know until you've realized your cup is empty. The "over ice" feature was something I used on other manufacture's machines. This one does not do it well - the water is just as hot as when making a regular cup. The machine is beautiful, makes a pot of coffee pretty quickly. I do recommend.

I always trust the Cuisinart brand for kitchen appliances. We've had several Cuisinart coffeemakers and this is a replacement of a model that brews both k-cup and 12-cup carafe. This one adds an option for ice coffee, which we haven't used yet. Frankly, I wish we could ditch the need for k-cup, but our household includes both full-caf and decaf drinkers. Pros: nice looking; small footprint for what it offers; strong brew option; trusted brand; includes charcoal and gold tone filters. Cons: k-cup side needs to brew at higher temp; carafe can leak while pouring; when carafe is on the warming plate, it's too easy to accidentally turn off warming plate to brew a k-cup (I've searched online for support to address this with no luck).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this because the dual use Keurig was not available. Had to get a different brand. I still wanted a dual use machine, and this was the only one they had. There are several things I do not like about it. There are 2 tanks, the main tank is not removable, but the single serve tank is. The carafe is unable to pour a cup of coffee without it running down the side of the pot onto the counter. This is very annoying. You can't just turn on the pot heater without going through the brew cycle. I also don't like the filter choice that was used for the carafe brew. However, it does make a pretty good cup of coffee. It would be nice to be able to change the brew strength of the single serve cups.

This was my third Cuisinart 2 in 1 model. My original model lasted for about 2 years & I loved it. Unfortunately the pod side stopped working & I picked up a new one. Unfortunately that one only lasted less than two months before it started leaking from the bottom then I purchased a new one & that started to leak the second time I used it. So disappointed in their quality. From what I read online it seems like leaking is a known issue, this is a problem, someone even wrote that a part was put it upside down? (oh I even tried to just rationalize it and say it must’ve just been because it was an older model, but it wasn’t.) Totally disappointed and frustrated - finally gave up and bought a Keurig. It’s been about three months with no issues. Unfortunately it only does K cups and I really liked being able to make a pot of coffee when we had company. Cuisinart get it together & maybe in a couple years, I’ll try again.

There's much to like and on balance we're very happy with the maker. Could be better with a differently designed means of filling the coffee maker's reservoir as the filter holder is in the way when pouring to fill. Also, the ability to brew a pot and simultaneously make a K-cup while brewing would be great.

I would have loved this coffee pot but the single cup button didnt work! I read online that other people were struggling with the same issue so I did not buy another one. I hope Cusiniart can get this fixed for future as this would have been a nice coffee pot.

Overall this is a great coffee maker and I do like it and would recommend. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that on the pod side the water reservoir is pretty small and you have to add water after just a few uses (and I normally use the 6oz-8oz cup sizes).

Machine is nice-originally wouldn’t turn on. Had to watch a YouTube video showing some secret button that needs to be pressed to activate the machine which did work. controls are a little difficult to understand instruction manual a little vague machine works nice otherwise

[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.

This coffee maker is really nice looking. It looks just like it should . State of the art. The coffee it makes is wonderful. I have had other makers before, however the coffee never tasted as good as what my beautiful Cuisinart brews. I had a Keurig before, while it did brew the pods a little faster the flavor was no where near my Cuisinart. And yes I used the same coffee brand. In my opinion you can't beat this Cuisinart.
