I love all the features of this 4-in-1! Granted, I’ve only used the brewing portion, but the steamer and single pod side for espresso or k-cups is ingenious. I will say the carafe would be better if the top just hinged open instead of having to snap it off, and because the water reservoir lid only opens 90 degrees, it can be tricky to pour water in there from the carafe without spilling. I don’t use the faucet hose like many do I use filtered water.

We're really enjoying our 4-in-1 machine overall. It has some minor design flaws, likely in part due to how compact it is. It's really hard to fill coffee machine part of it without spilling some water out. I also wish I had realized it's a 12-cup carafe, because I miss my old 14-cup! We're enjoying the nespresso feature, although I wish Cuisinart sold refillable k-cups and nespresso cups to cut down on waste.

Love the quality and look. There is a learning curve with using the k-cups though. I sent back my first coffee maker because brewing the smallest k cup size left water all over the top and none inside. The second one had the same issue. Turns out the smallest single cup setting is for the nespresso pods only. Kcups need the middle and large settings to work. Otherwise it’s water leaking all over the top! Now that I’ve figured that out, everything is perfect!! Instructions about this would have been very helpful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with the multiple functions of this unit. The brewing side produces wonderful flavor. The unique ability to use pods and also make espresso and steam milk make for a great kitchen appliance. I am am very happy with the unit and would recommend it. Lots of function for not a lot of money.

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.

As someone who likes the convenience of a K-cup or an espresso pod in the morning, all the capability of a full pot when we have company, and the sheer joy of relaxing with a freshly brewed latte, this 4-in-1 coffeemaker does it all. It is everything I want and need, and incredibly easy to use and maintain. I highly recommend this unit to anyone who loves types of coffee.

Bought this new coffee maker to replace our old standard coffee maker and Keurig machine however we have the bonus of it making espresso and being able to froth milk as well! It is very easy to use and a doesn't take up any more counter space than having two other machines. When I saw other reviews of how some people were complaining about the water filling tank being in the back I couldn't understand how that was such a big deal. I appt that it holds more water than my standard Keurig did, I felt like I was always having to refill but with this machine it's capacity is much larger.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Larger than my previous Cuisinart Coffee maker, after over 10 years, it was time to replace. This new 4-in-1 machine is very nice and versatile. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the user interface is not at all intuitive.

I think it should be called 3-in-1. The hot water/steamer wand is too low and not really adjustable...makes it difficult to use sometimes. If you need just hot water, use the pod selection without a pod. Coffe pot is smaller than the standard drip we had. Went from 14 to 12 cup. We'll keep it but just OK for the price.

This is a fabulous unit that includes a four-station Barista Bar. It includes a Nespresso station, a K-cup pod unit, and its own coffee maker. The most interesting part is the steamer and hot water dispenser, which I like to use to make hot tea or hot chocolate. It is very functional, although not as fast as an individual unit. The water tank is large, and there is a learning curve to use this unit. Overall, this is an improvement over the older coffee station.
