The versatility between the whole pot and/or a pod option sold me. My daughter however, enjoys the steamer and cappuccino/espresso option as she enjoys creating her on drink. Be able to set the timer at night and wake up to a pot of coffee during the week/weekend is my favorite option. Clean up of the reusable filter is easy and overall functionality has been top notch.

Overall content with it. Only a few changes I would recommend. The carafe fixed lid makes it difficult to pour out completely. It was this way on the older model I had also was hoping they would have fixed this by now. The wand also lacks dexterity. Pricey considering all the plastic.

Have always liked and relied on Cuisinart as a go to brand for Coffee makers. This unit is no exception for the most part. It is easy to use and does accomplish the All in One goal. The family loves using it for various different options such as espresso's, K Cups, and of course, traditional brew coffee. All functions well and we are learning how to make new things like Affogatos. My only reason for not giving it a full 5 stars is that the brewed coffee is good, but not great. We have had a couple Cuisinart Grind and Brew units in the past and have loved the brewed coffee. This one is not bad, but just not quite as good as the previous models we have owned. We are black coffee drinkers, so we can taste everything. Don't get me wrong. The coffee tastes good. We fresh grind before brewing, but can't seem to find that "really good" vs. just good.

The ease of switching between the carafe and kpods Is pretty easy what I don’t like about it is the water tank for using the carafe is located behind the coffee maker you constantly have to keep moving the coffee maker forward to fill the tank. The water tank for the kpod is on the side which is okay. As far as the frother for the milk it would be nice if it was a little shorter to accommodate your cup. Check the dimensions of the coffee maker to make sure it will fit under a your kitchen cabinet some people have had problems with this

I’ll start by saying I do love this coffee machine. It’s very easy to use. The water containers are really big so you don’t feel like you have to fill up the water a lot, even though we use it all the time. I love that you can do the K cups and the little espresso cups. I’m offended by how much trash they create so we got the reusable K cups, they work great. I haven’t found the same thing for the espresso cups. The only reason I gave the machine four instead of five is like some of the other reviews say the steam wand is a little difficult to use, it doesn’t come out very far so I had to set mine on the edge of the counter to where I can lower my cup rather than tilt it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm happy to have purchased this product. I needed to replace my old Keurig single cup brewer for a better functional one. One thing to note. This product doesn't heat up as much as my Keurig. Overall, 4 in one function is better than just one. Loving it so far.

Love this machine! We love waking up to freshly brewed coffee in the morning but also the versatility of having a Kcup. The Nespresso feature has been a huge boost in our at-home coffee experience. It makes a great cappuccino with steamed milk in little time and it tastes great!

Looks nice…..sounds like a lion is brewing your coffee. After using an espresso pod, I switched to kcup to brew a cup. Every first 2 times I press brew only brown tinted water comes through. So I have to sacrifice a kcup pod every time I brew. Not too happy for how much this machine costs.

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.

I really love this Coffeemaker - it truly does everything. I love how I was able to get rid of 3 different machines and now I only have to worry about one. I have so much more space! The k-cups taste way better in this machine than my Keurig coffeemaker - it's wild! I love the Nespresso pods for lattes - it's so much better than messing around with ground espresso and packing it, etc. This has been a lifesaver!
