We have loved have the options to make espresso, single serve, or full pot for multiple occasions. Love those versatile features! There are 3 manufacturer design choices that caused me to select 4 stars: 1) We can't find a way to restart the timer Warm on the brew pot. 2) Where is an Off button to stop the Warm for the brew pot? 3) The fill port for the water on the brew pot is very small compared to the carafe we have struggled to find a way to pour and not hit the port cover flap having to change angles multiple times. In summary, if this was a cheaper device then I would full hearty five stars, but for the price there are a few basic 101 features missing.

The machine does everything advertised. The electronics took a little getting used to but mostly intuitive. The form factor is efficient. The brewer and kcup functions work to perfection. The Nespresso section makes the espresso ok, but a stand alone machine provides more crema. The frother again work sufficiently well, but not well enough to keep me from using a separate frother. Having said all that, it is a space saving 4 in 1 machine that does a very good job and i would buy again(but hopefully any time soon)

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!

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….

We got this coffeemaker 4 in 1 for about a month, it fits well with our limited kitchen area, and so far so good, only question I have so far is, it is a little loud when the pod or espresso is working, not sure if it is normal or not, but does not bother me that much. So far I’m pretty happy about my purchase.

Have not had the Coffee Center long enough to rate it all features. For what it's worth: Pros: It does keep coffee hot for three hours. Will it keep coffee hot for 4? Remains to be seen. Note that the kitchen (and me) are at 7300'. Would love to have hot coffee stay hot for more than the first five minutes out of the pot. It makes good enough coffee on 'bold'; it is barely drinkable otherwise. Cons: It is difficult to see the fill line so we just add four cups of water (32oz). Seems to work. It is difficult for someone under 5'3' to reach the fill portal without spills. Likely the instruction booklet could be more explicit by listing the steps to turn on the coffee maker AND to turn it off. Not a problem for me, but it is noisy. I plan to try additional features, particularly the milk frother, someday soon.

Makes all the kinds of coffees that it claims to and works well. For us, easier than a large espresso machine. The only complaint I have that it doesn't keep the brewed coffee warm enough or long enough -- I always go back for a 2nd or 3rd cup -- even if you reset the warming button.

The Barista Bar does everything I want it to. I have purchased a reusable pod and love making my morning one cup of coffee from my own fresh ground beans. The steamer/hot water works great and I've tired the espresso. Had to reread the directions, but I'm making friends.

My husband and I love this machine - it is so easy to make a quick espresso and even capuccinos with the steam function. My daughter is able to "brew" her own hot water for hot cocoa - and of course when we just want coffee the pods/pot options are both great and easy to use!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it!! This product works perfect for our coffee preferences. My husband likes to have a pot of freshly brewed coffee in the morning while I prefer having an Americano cup using an expresso pod. On top of that it has the added bonus of being able to use a Keurig pod if I’m in the mood for a cup of flavored coffee.
