[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 4-in-1 model has many nice features. However, one feature that is missing is the ability to customize and save a specific volume of an Espresso selection. Currently, to get an 8 ounce cup of coffee using the Espresso option requires 2 brew cycles of the large cup selection.

Everything works great, but… the coffee is too hot. I’d prefer to not have to wait fifteen minutes to drink the coffee I poured into a cup. The Keurig pod options are too strong at even the largest pour, and I like strong coffee, so you have to add more water or cream, which I don’t care for. The height of the steam wand can make it difficult to use the hot water feature. There is no apparent “off” button for the coffee pot. Maybe I’m missing something, but I read the instructions and have watched several videos.

I purchased the Cuisinart barista coffee pot because of all the added features our family enjoys using. We have been using it for about three months now and love it. We use it multiple times a day. The coffee pot was more than I wanted to pay, but I am glad I made the purchase. I am hoping it will last a long time.

We've been using a Keurig machine for about 10 years now but recently decided to go back to a regular coffee pot brewer that would also still have the option for brewing a single cup. We decided to give the Cuisinart Coffee Center 4-in-1 Coffeemaker a try as it also uses K-Cup pods and Nespresso Original Line capsules along with brewing a full pot of coffee. So far we're thrilled with the delicious brewed coffee and the option of up to 4 hours of the "keep warm" setting. As far as the K-cup option goes, it's as good as a Keurig. We've never used a Nespresso machine before so we have nothing to compare it to but so far the espresso is very good. When making mochas, lattes, cappuccinos, etc., it takes some practice when using the milk frother. We watched some online instruction videos on how to properly froth and steam milk, which we recommend highly, and the one thing we noticed in all the videos is the steaming wand does not have a tube covering the wand like this machine does and we believe it makes a difference in the frothing. We've been using the wand without the tube cover and it seems to work better. Also, with the tube cover on it makes it difficult to remove the frothing cup without having to pull the coffeemaker all the way to the edge of the counter. This is a bit of an incovenience. One reviewer said it bothered her so much she had her husband build a 3" high box to set her machine on for ease in removing the frothing cup from under the wand. However, if you're using the machine on a counter that has an upper cabinet above it, this would not be a good solution. Other than this slight flaw, we are loving this coffee maker and hope it continues to deliver great coffee and single cups for years to come!

Purchased this from online department store website for the the barista bar 4 in one to replace an older less functional model. Was disappointed that the carafe was already damaged from original packaging. Additionally the pump for all coffee functions is very loud. Does not matter if using a pod or espresso capsule. Rather put off by the lack of quality and care to ensure new components such as these perform without issue.

This is the best barista!! I can make delicious latte, cappuccino, coffee all in one ! I love that i don't have three systems on my countertop anymore! Really is genius and a space saver!! Best purchase i have made!! You wont regret this investment!!

This Cuisinart Coffee Center Barista Bar is every single thing I wanted all in one. I'm a long-time Nespresso owner as well as a long-time Cuisinart coffee maker owner, and this Coffee Center has now claimed the ONLY spot on the coffee counter in our home. Spectacular!

Love love love my Coffee Center Barista Bar. I have wanted an espresso with steamer to make fancy cups of coffee but didnt want to give up my single pods that I have used for years. My husband loves a pot of coffee so when I found this 4 in 1 that does them all...I was excited! It has lived up to my expectations and more! It does so many things. I didnt have room for all 3 on my counters so this was perfect. LOVE IT!

I love the flexibility of using grounds/kcups & capsules. However, the machine is slow to brew with Kcups and capsules. Frother takes some time to get ready. Espresso comes out not too hot and weak. Even when I use 11 intensity capsules. Still experimenting with this, but so far I do miss my Keurig smart maker!

Good product. Thankful that I read previous reviews about K-Cup issues. I push my K-cup down in the slot until it pops before closing the lid. This ensures that the K-Cup does not explode which has been an issue according to reviews. Unfortunately the single serve coffee does not come out hot, it is just warm. It really is frustrating when I need to add creamer. I am going to experiment with running a small espresso cup amount through and see if the next cup is hot.
