Saw this in a store and was excited because i have recently stared using my old Kuerig again so this looked like the perfect solution . However, I was a bit disappointed since the coffee was weaker, not as spring as my old Cuisinart. the K cup part has always produced stronger coffee. After experimenting for a few weeks the quality of the coffee has improved but I do have to use more coffee.

The coffeemaker does what it’s supposed to do. It looks great and has a nice (small) footprint. However…the markings on the unit and on the coffee pot are next to impossible to read for anyone with even a slight sight deficiency. I had difficulty even when using a flashlight (caused a glare). I’ve been using a measuring cup to measure water for the carafe. I’ve decided this is ridiculous. I will, unfortunately, be returning the unit and looking for another brand, with clear markings. I hope Cuisinart will make the marking darker, providing more contrast, in the future, as I am otherwise a fan of their products.

This coffee maker is a good idea but doesn't perform well. The coffee brewed is not hot enough regardless of whether it is a pod or carafe. When I make a cup from a pod or pour from the carafe, I have to warm the cup in the microwave for 30 seconds to get a suitably warm cup of coffee. I even pre-warm my coffee cup.

We bought one, got it home and unpacked and it wasn’t working on the pod side. Had no issues exchanging it other than an hour drive back to the store one way. The second one has been working fine. I made sure to register it for warranty just in case!

The only complaint I have is that the opening on the left side is not high enough to allow my insulated tumblers to be used. (I often make iced tea with these tumblers which are 7" tall. They fit ok in the old Cuisinart. I have a few other tumblers that fit in if I remove the bottom pieces. These tumblers are 6.5" tall but smaller in diameter.)

Well done Cuisinart! Functional and asteticly pleasing. The right sided pot brewing is much easier to fill. Additionally, the brewing speed is pretty impressive. The single cup brewing is great too for everything from water for hot chocolate to a cup of sleepy time tea. The dark stainless looks great on the counter. Because let's face it, if you drink coffee on the daily this thing is living permanently on the counter.

Very poor construction of the pod portion of this machine. Every second or third pod will rip open a spew coffee grounds everywhere. And I’ve spent over two hours trying to clean the residual grounds out. I think maybe the water is under too much pressure. The carafe portion works well except it doesn’t pause very well when the carafe is removed. Excellent warming plate.

Excellent Coffee maker!!! It brews very fast, great controls for the Carafe temperature. The one cup brew works very well, and it is nice to be able to use your own coffee instead of a pod. This is my third Cuisinart coffee maker, and I have always been extremely happy with the products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this machine cause it fit the needs of both me and my better half. I like to make a full pot in the morning, and she likes here first cup out of the carafe also. I stop drinking about dinner time, but the carafe is empty and the single serve is just right for my last cup of the day.

I purchased this item about a month ago and am totally satisfied with it. It makes fantastic tasting cofffee by the pot, and the single serving is great for when someone comes over or I want just one cup in the afternoon. It's handsome and stylish and takes up a small footprint on my counter. Previously, I had a big Keurig and then a separate coffee machine and things look cluttered and messy. My family is impressed with the elegant look of such a practical appliance!
