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.

Cuisinart makes great long lasting products. My Barista works great except for one flaw. The water fill port is partially blocked by the lid when using the 12 cup coffee pot. I feel the lid on the coffee maker covering the fill should be half the size and should be hinged on the right side. This would promote speedier filling with less spillage.

We love our coffee and shopped extensively before landing on this Cuisinart machine. We love it so much that we bought a second one. Our favorite feature include the versatility of having a drip coffee pot, a k-cup coffee pod built in, and an espresso maker. It also has a milk steamer to make lattes and cappuccinos which turn out great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 30 days ago and have thoroughly enjoyed both the single use (k cups, espresso pods) and drip coffee making from the unit. The only challenge is creating foam/froth using the frothing wand. it is difficult to get the exact depth correct and create foam/froth satisfactorily. often, it just heats the milk and that's it. I prefer some heavy froth, more like foam, but cannot consistently create that with this unit. Otherwise, the unit operates well.

I love this coffee maker! I love having the options for brewed coffee in the pot, pods or espresso. I can set a timer and my pot of coffee is ready when I wake up. You can select different cup sizes for your pods or espresso. The coffee is perfect and piping hot each time.

We love the versatility of this coffeemaker. We enjoy using the brew timer to wake up to a freshly brewed pot of coffee at 5 a.m. Other options are convenient, such as using a K-cup, and expresso pod or steaming milk for an afternoon latte. It also provides hot water for a quick cup of tea.

I was very excited to get this product. I did a lot of reading on the item. When it arrived I got it all set up and read through all the instructions. So, it has 2 water filters, one for the pods and one for the carafe. It does everything. You can have brewed coffee, a pod for a cup of coffee, or you can also do a Nespresso pod for an espresso! It even has a milk frother! Perfect.

Great unit with multiple ways to make great coffee/Espresso at a very affordable price. Includes a steamer, something that makes this more authentic as a barista would use. Always liked the Cuisinart brand. Found the quality of this new model to be a step up from the previous models. Looks and feels like a more robust design. Controls now much more intuitive make it easy to select what you want with auto shut off. After 2 mos. of use have found the unit to be everything as advertised.

When my Keurig stopped working, I wanted to try something new. I have always loved Cuisinart coffee makers ( I use a standard cuisinart drip pot at my second home) and loved the idea of being able to have the option of cappuccino, espresso, drip and single serve all in one location. This coffee station is a breeze! I have used all of its functions and am very happy with its ease of use! The coffee tastes great also. So glad I ordered this product!

I have had a Cuisinart coffee maker for as long as I can remember and have always been pleased. In an effort to conserve counter space by purchasing a new coffee maker that not only brews a pot but is also capable of brewing a single serving using a K-Cup or Nespresso pod, I thought I had found the best solution. Unfortunately, the espresso did not reach a high enough temperature, requiring a quick spin in the microwave. For such an expensive small appliance this should not be necessary. The machine brewed a very good pot of coffee but the Nespresso feature fell way below our expectations. We are returning this item. This is our second purchase of the same unit since the first had a defective clock as well as the low temperature of the Nespresso.
