Coffee Tastes Watered Down

We are a little disappointed. My husband and I both feel that the brew isn't as good as we thought it would be. It's not the same as what we had with our previous coffee maker (a different brand). To us, it tastes watered down. We have tried various coffees, Kcups, and (name brand) Nespresso pods, but so far nothing has met with our expectations. I have seen two other reviews that have stated that they had watery coffee, as well. Is it us? Or is it the coffee maker.

So far, so good.

Owned it for about a month. So far we like it. Sometimes have to hit the on button twice before it comes on. Once we figured that out, everything has been fine. Makes a beautiful espresso and the steamer works great. Somewhat difficult to get a cup under the spout because it is so low. Have to move it to the edge of the sink to make this works. Makes a beautiful frothy milk.

Great machine worth the price

This is a great machine and has so many features in one! I wanted the coffee maker and espresso combo, the steamer was a nice addition and the k-cup option a bonus surprise upon opening. A couple things to keep in mind: 1) the machine is tall so measure your space if it will go under cabinets as the top compartments may not fully open and you’ll need adequate room for steam to vent safely and 2) the espresso feature is quite loud compared to the device it replaced, a silicone mat helps muffle the sound.

We give it a thumbs up!

Overall, we're very pleased with this coffee maker. Once you understand the two different systems (one for drip coffee and one for espresso) it's very easy to use. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that the hot water function only produces water that's warm enough to make tea, but not hot. Also, I'm still struggling a bit with getting the foam right for lattes -- I try to follow the instructions in the user's manual, but I still get some big bubbles as the milk heats. This is likely to be my issue, and with practice I can say I'm getting much better at steaming the milk. We're definitely happy with this purchase.

Combo Brewer

The unit looks good, makes good drip coffee, K cup system works fine as does the hot water and steaming function . The unit fails with the Nespresso function - the amount of water is less than Nespresso uses and cannot adjust the amount of water, does not puncture completely the foil on the Nespresso pod, affects coffee quality.

A home coffee maker a barista would have.

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.

Coffee Center BaristaBar

I have had several Cusinart coffee makers and have been satisfied with all of them. I am pleased with the BaristaBar 4in1. My only issue is the steam wand - it works, but is so low that it is impossible to get a cup off without spilling the water. I am learning to adjust to it, mostly by moving the coffee center to the edge of the counter to get the cup lower than the wand. So far, I have no other issues.

Poke holes in pods

We have only had it a month now, so still adjusting to it. The only complaint is with the pods. A lot of condensation and sometimes only water comes through. We are poking holes in the bottom of the pods before we brew and that helps. Nepresso pods work great.

Surprised

Pleasantly surprised this combination espresso, coffee maker, and single serve maker does all so well. The milk frother actually does a great job. I've had another brand and had to return two units as the first one was used and covered with coffee. The replacement machine was fine for a couple of months until it began giving electrical shocks.

Couple of issues

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.
