Coffer anyway you want it

This is almost perfect, K-Cups, Nespresso Small pods, and ground coffee. The only thing that kept me from 5 stars is the drippings after brewing cups or pods. We had a Ninja, and this out brews it by taste unbelievable I tribute this to the brew temperature the Cuisinart brew hotter extracting more flavor. This also was a major declutter as it does the work of up to 3 machines.

Barista Bar Does It's Job

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.

Expected Better - Probably Returning

1) It does not make good tasting coffee. 2) Cup sizes are too limited. 3) Two water tanks that are hard to pour in. 4) To make a pot of coffee you have to pour in the exact amount of cups. You can't select from the tank by control. 5) There is no on/off switch to completely close down the macine when you are done. 6) Only handles original Nespresso I am very disappointed with this product which I was expecting so much more seeing it was Cuisinart. I gave 2 stars because it does have some form of Nespresso. I have a couple of weeks left before I can't return for a refund. Pretty sure returning this is what I will be doing.

This 4-in-1 Coffeemaker is the real deal!

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!

Excellent coffee...needs more initial run-in

Excellent coffee maker in all forms: drip, pod, and nespresso. Easy to use. Quality cups of coffee if you're using good ingredients. Mine needed several cycles of water running through the pod areas to eliminate an initial plastic flavor. I think that when it's new and the water sits in either the tank or the heating area, it develops an off flavor. This went away with time. For a while, I needed to run the first cup of just water to clear it and the next cup was good. It works well the first time now.

Would purchase again, but has a few negatives

I spent a lot of time researching for the perfect combo espresso and drip maker. This is the first time I’ve had anything other than a drip maker, I wanted drip and espresso capability with steamer and grinder. Could not find anything with ALL those things, but this was closest to what I was looking for. I bought a burr grinder which has been perfect and super easy to use. Paired with the cuisinart burr grinder, the drip coffee makes a great pot, but the downside is the placement of the water reservoir for the drip function. It’s awkward to pour into the reservoir positioned in the back with the lid right there and hard to get all the water in from the pot. I also have really liked the pod and nespresso functions. I’ve never had either before, they work great, I’ve enjoyed them more than I thought I would. The steamer wand is difficult to use however, again, placement is awkward, it rotates sideways, but hard to get a mug underneath it without spilling it. There is also a very long delay for the steamer or water to actually start. Overall, I would still purchase this again, but look forward to improved versions in the future when I’m ready to upgrade.

Cuisinart nailed it!

This machine checks all the boxes! 12cup drip, single cup K-Cup with 6,8,10 ounce options and a espresso option with 2 sizes. Accommodates Nespresso capsules. It also has 2 reservoirs. The main one for the 12 cup drip and a second one for k cups and espresso. We make a full pot in the morning and if we want regular coffee or a guest stops by we can make single cups. We also enjoy making Cappuccino after dinner. The brother works great with minimal cleanup. We really love this machine.

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.

Just ok

It’s a cool little coffee machine. I wasn’t too keen on the pods. But I love them now. I haven’t brewed any coffee since I got this. My only complaint is the steam wand. It takes a while to turn on and off. I’d prefer it to work when I need it to work versus when it wants to. We’ll see how it holds up. I’ve been using it daily for about a month now.

Love it!

Love my new 4 in 1 coffee maker! The flexibility to make expresso, a pot of coffee or a single cup is exactly what I was looking for. The steamer took a couple of practices but is easy to use. I purchased a separate small sized steamer cup and it fits nicely under the steamer. I recommend reading all the directions before using. I do have to pull it from under my counter to fill the back reservoir but a small price for the flexibility of the center!
