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.

...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!

The removable water tank for single serve is huge and doesn’t need refilled often if using for espresso. The filter in each tank is a huge step up from our past machine. The flavor through all 3 options is a shocking step up as well. The 12 cup portion operates as any coffee maker should and is very easy to use. The single-use side is great. As some one who likes variety when it comes to coffee, this machine allows for so much variability and can satisfy a crowd. The single-serve side only takes 1-2 minutes per cup at most and the 12-cup side takes about 10 minutes. The only thing that could make it better is if you could use both sides at once, but understandably you cannot. The hot water/frother is an excellent addition as well. After a light wipe down and running the setup cycles there’s no machine taste or anything weird, just great coffee. The good reusable filter makes great coffee and the self-clean feature couldn’t be simpler. I would recommend this machine to anyone looking for a good coffee maker whether they need the single-serve side or not.

I absolutely love this coffee machine! I have used Cuisinart coffee makers for years and have never been disappointed. I like having the charcoal filters in the water reservoir. If you're a coffee lover, this is it for you! You have many coffee options (carafe, k-cups,espresso ) the added bonus of a steamer,frother. The book also has recipes. I did watch a video on YouTube before initial use... Very helpful since there are so many ways to use it.

Trusting the Cuisinart name, we purchased this coffee center bc we love drip coffee but wanted the flexibility of a K-cup. (We previously had a different brand that offered both but we went through 3 machines in 6 years and were fed up with that brand). The fact that this also allows NESPRESSO PODS?!? Heavenly. In fact, since I like my coffee stronger than my husband, I've started brewing an espresso and adding coffee to it for that extra punch. I like the 4 hour warming plate capability since I'm usually awake 2-3 hours before my husband. Also of note, is the large reservoir for single cup brewing. I honestly couldn't be more pleased with this machine for now. Hopefully it will serve us for many years. 🤞 This machine comes with quick start instructions and detailed instructions and as long as you take the time to read them, you will have no problem using this. I saw a review where someone said it was “like a piece of furniture “ on their counter but really, look at any high quality, espresso or multi-function coffee machine and it's the same or smaller than those. I would and have recommended this to friends.

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

This is a really great barista bar that any coffee nut would love which is why I bought it for my husband. We've owned several Cuisinart coffee makers over the years and they seem to be the best, that have held up for us over the years. The hubby drinks a ton of coffee and this gives him options. The only downside for him, is there isn't a selection for a 12oz cup. Lol

I purchased this unit for our staff room. After much discussion and research, we all decided this machine would suite all of our needs; espresso, k-pods, hot water, and carafe. The water reservoir is easy to refill, the carafe is sturdy, and the pod area is conveniently located where both types of espresso & k-pods can be utilized. The steamer option has been a big hit for both milk, and Americanos! With a staff of 50 using it daily, it has held up amazing well. So glad we found this multi-purpose piece of heaven.

I replaced my delonghi coffee/espresso machine with this setup. I couldn't be happier. Having the ability to make espresso, a pot of coffee or a single cup is awesome. Everything works great and takes up minimal space. I'd highly recommend this product.

Very nice product. I use the cuisinart kcup to make. My cup of coffee and it is great. I jave also made expresso and frothed milk. It is very easy to use and clean. I love being able to get hot water from the steamer as well. It took a bit to long to get the machine primed (had to unplug 4 times and wait 30 min to try again) and water flowing, but once it got going it works great.
