I like the concept of having multiple options. I enjoy using it but it would have give the system a 5 but couldn’t for the following reasons. I hope the following features are improved especially for the price. Machine is very noisy when it begins to make coffee Machine shakes on granite counter tops Single serve can’t be pre-programmed to make a cup of coffee

I've only had this machine since 6/16/24, but it has worked flawlessly so far. I can't really comment on the quality of espresso it produces as I haven't really been an espresso drinker. My wife who frequents Starbucks does say that the drinks I've produced for her have been good. The other functions have done just fine. As far as the machine itself, it works well and seems to have a good build quality. All the functions seem to work, but there is a small learning curve to this machine. My main complaint with the machine is the milk frother as it's not very convenient. The steam tube is completely vertical and too long to get a milk filled container underneath without tipping allowing the milk/foam to spill out. It does swing out from the machine, but is still too close to easily froth the milk. It's just not designed for easy use. Other than that, all is fine with this machine and I have enjoyed the versatility allowing for fresh brewed coffee into the carafe, k-cup, or espresso drinks.

I read the reviews of other buyers prior to buying this coffee maker, and bought it anyway. I own eight other Cuisinart products. They all work beautifully, and the coffee taste better than my old coffee maker. My Barista Bar Coffee Maker worked correctly right out of the box.

It is one of the better coffeemakers and has the ability to use the available Nespresso/K cups and is easy to use. Unfortunately, its overall height requirement precludes it form using it on a standard kitchen counter, forcing to slide it out from under the upper cabinets. This particularly annoying as it is quite cumbersome to move it. A removeable forther attachment that can be easily washed would have been better.

I came from another big brand, and I love how easy Cuisinart products are to use! The pods make cleaning so easy. I also like the large coffee pot, 12 cups. But, its large. So keep that in mind. The controls are a little much, but not sure what else you'd do. On the other hand the price is good for this many features. So far so good!

Happy with my purchase!! First time owning a coffeemaker with espresso machine and wanted something easy to use. Only troubles I've had so far are with the steam wand so I took off a star. I use that daily and it never comes on the first time I hit start. I wait and wait and wait and wait and nothing. Hit the stop knob and restart it and then it works. Also, just a tip .. be super careful when you put the coffee filter basket in that it is pushed down into the well as far as possible. Otherwise it will not come in contact with the coffee pot and you will have a giant overflowing mess ... Trust me Ive made the mistake 😆 overall very happy with the product for the ease of use, has all the things I want and looks nice on my counter. I would buy it again if I had to do over.

Love all the features offered with this coffee maker however beware! It does not "push" all of the water through the pod, so when you remove the pod from the machine you will drip water/coffee. After beep to remove your cup, it will continue to drip into the cup holder also.

Although it was a gift, I researched coffee machines for quite a while, and requested this one. It simply does all the things, from quick hot water for my tea, to making a pot of Sumatra decaf that I can quickly add a pod of espresso to for an afternoon pick-me-up. I seldom use the Keurig-like feature, yet appreciate having it for guests who will not consider anything except full caffeine. My kitchen is small, and this has a reasonable footprint. I keep it on a sliding base, and this helps with water filling. Set up was not intuitive, yet also not horrible. Between the (inadequate) manual and YouTube I figured everything out in one day of trying all the features. I also have a Cuisinart burr grinder…I am fairly certain I make the best coffee of anyone I know. Really, I think it needs a name because it has become part of the household. I’m hoping we have a long, satisfying relationship….

This machine checks all the boxes! 12cup drip, single cup K-Cup with 6,8,10 ounce options and a espresso option with 2 sizes. Accommodates Nespresso capsules. It also has 2 reservoirs. The main one for the 12 cup drip and a second one for k cups and espresso. We make a full pot in the morning and if we want regular coffee or a guest stops by we can make single cups. We also enjoy making Cappuccino after dinner. The brother works great with minimal cleanup. We really love this machine.

Good multipurpose coffee maker, can only use small Nespresso pods, would like to be able to use larger Nespresso pods that make a larger drink. Sometimes the Kcup pod only dispenses water, no coffee. Overall its a good multipurpose coffee maker for a household with different requirements.
