I didn’t need a new coffeemaker as my 12 year old Cuisinart worked fine, but the many brew options on this 4 in 1 piqued my interest. I love it! It seemed complicated at first but after a couple trial runs, I was fine with all options…and use them all— regular brew, pods, expresso pods, hot water and steamer for milk froths. I have something different each morning! My husband is a pod guy and loves it ease of use and handy water refill container. So glad I splurged a little!

This coffee machine is very easy to use. We needed a machine with the ability to use k-cups and other coffee pods. The steamer is nice. I also like that the hot water comes out of the steamer wand so it does not get exposed to coffee. In other models, we avoided making tea with the hot water from the machine because it inevitably tasked like coffee. It is a larger machine so beware if you are putting it on a counter where it will have cabinets above it. We only have countertops with cabinets above and we have to pull the machine out to make the coffee and tuck it back against the wall when we are done. Not a real problem, but if space is an issue in your kitchen then take note.

Cuisinart 4 in 1 coffee system is a fantastic product for the price. It’s gives you many options from pot of coffee, single pod, espresso pod as well as a good frother for those tasty lattes. Their warranty is also awesome as we just recently had to process a warranty on our machine and they expedited a new warrantied replacement. I would highly recommend Cuisinart 4 in 1 coffee station

We have utilized almost every function of this coffee maker. My husband brews himself a pot of coffee every morning. Since I don’t tend to drink that much early on I use the individual pod. I have also made myself an espresso as well as using the steam wand to make a cappuccino. It is convenient and really quite easy to use. Nice to be able to have these drinks at home rather than going out to a coffee shop.

I really like the ability this machine has to produce great coffee, with three distinct methods. I haven’t used the frother yet, but I like the hot water swinging pipe for tea. Overall, a great level of coffee possibilities in a singular well designed machine.

I initially purchased this 4-in-1 coffee maker to learn how to make my favorite coffee chain drinks. It's easy to use, functions very well, and is simple to clean. The only issue that I've found is sometimes the espresso pod gets stuck but with a little effort it comes right out.

I love Cuisinart products. I love their stand mixer (I purchased the Kitchen Aide for my boyfriend and I like my Cuisinart better!!!), my Toaster/Convection Oven and now my 4 in 1 coffee maker. It makes GREAT espresso, cappuccino and regular coffee. I LOVE that it uses Nespresso, Keurig and regular coffee to brew. I have saved a lot of money brewing my own coffee at home since I purchased this item. The espresso just smells amazing. Loud, but awesome. LOVE IT!!!!!

...But otherwise, I might just as well be in a commercial espresso shop, except there is never a humongous line in my kitchen! Seriously, this is a serious coffee-maker. My old Cuisinart drip-brew coffee maker finally gave out after many years of excellent service and I started shopping online for its replacement. The Barista 4-in-1 was a little more pricey than I had first intended, but then I realized, '4-in-1, I'm really buying four machines!' which made the price point very agreeable. The machine itself was amazingly simple to set up and looks very sharp on my kitchen counter. Both its water reservoirs (for drip brew and for forced K-cup/Espresso pods) are easily filled, no muss, no fuss. The mechanics of getting the actual drink are completely uncomplicated and 100% consistent. Cup after cup, no matter the mode, is always perfect. Even the clean-up after steaming milk for a latte, cappuccino, or mocha is an effortless breeze. The steamer stem is long enough to prevent froth overflows, and a quick wipe with a clean damp paper towel returns the wand to its original pristine condition immediately. Returning to economics, I save time and waste less undrunk leftover coffee than ever before and for a quick 'cuppa', nothing beats the wonderful single-serve options in 6, 8, or 10 oz sizes, or the no-hassle espresso pods for a single or 'doppio' shot. Oh, yes, I can also change-up my game and make tea or excellent cocoa! Thank you, Cuisinart!

So far, the machine has been good to use! being the 4 in 1, i thought the 4th feature was a coffee grinder, but it is the wand for milk frothing. not a big deal. i didn't realize how large the machine is. it takes up a lot of counter space. the other issue we found was with the filter to the water tank for the single serve side of the machine - the kcups and the nespresso pods. we made coffee suing a kcup no problem. but when we tried to the nespresso function. the machine whirled as if it was working, and nothing. super stressed out, i went on youtube, and found that the filter actually covers the area of the water tank where the water flows out, and restricts the water flow. makes sense in theory, but in practice, this was engineered poorly. in removing the filter, we were up and running without issue. The drip coffee side has its own water tank and water filter. there was no issue using that side. i realy like how futuristic the controls are. there was a bit of a learning curve, but easy to learn and run. i found some kcups on clearance and have been enjoying my daily coffee with this machine for over a month now and it works perfectly every time.

I would have rated the Cuisinart a 4.5 (out of five) but I could only use whole numbers. It's a great coffee maker, certainly an improvement from my earlier Cuisinart coffee maker. I love the feature of steaming my milk and the convenience of using coffee pods when I am lazy. Add the espresso maker feature and I am almost putting Starbucks out of business :o) The reason I didn't give the coffee make a perfect score was the water fill level indicator. Making six cups (which I usually do each morning) gets a little tricky. I can clearly see the water fill to levels 2 thru 4 but getting to level six (cups) requires I keep my eye on the fill line least I might over fill my mark and delude the strength of my coffee. Beyond level six to ten is easy to see and stop. Not a game changer but certainly something the design team can improve upon in version 2.0. Cheers!
