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.

We love this machine. It is so versatile and convenient. 1.) A 12 cup pot of coffee! 2.) Either a single or double shot of espresso. 3.) A K-Cup flavor of your choice. 4.) A single cup of fresh ground coffee. 5.) Hot water for tea or soup. 6.) Steamed and/or frothed milk. This is great!!!

Excellent 4 in 1 concept! Replaced my Cuisinart grind and brew and single serve K cup machines. Did have to get a burr grinder as we couldn’t live without fresher ground coffee. Versatility is unmatched with high quality coffee and espresso/cappucchino. Only gripe is that at end of K cup brew the K cup is still full of coffee (not purged with air) and it drips. Contacted support and their only suggestion was to return it, which I may do (exchange). Expensive but unique machine!

Being able to do k-cups and espresso pods, PLUS a traditional pot of brewed coffee was the selling point. Bonus milk frother wand/hot water access for oatmeal…this thing is a beast! Truly enjoying the versatility of the machine and have been pleased so far!

I looked at many machines, and for the price, ease of use, cleaning, functions, and compact size you can't beat this coffee machine! I also have never gone wrong with anything Cuisinart. This machine will satisfy everyone's drink orders in our household.

Good product. Thankful that I read previous reviews about K-Cup issues. I push my K-cup down in the slot until it pops before closing the lid. This ensures that the K-Cup does not explode which has been an issue according to reviews. Unfortunately the single serve coffee does not come out hot, it is just warm. It really is frustrating when I need to add creamer. I am going to experiment with running a small espresso cup amount through and see if the next cup is hot.

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.

My Cuisinart coffee maker for 15 years or more gave up the ghost. I began looking for a replacement and I only wanted a Cuisinart to replace it. When I saw that this model could not only make a perfect pot of coffee but K cup and espresso as well. Now I enjoy a pot of bold brewed coffee in the morning and a espresso after dinner in the evening. Awesome machine!! I love it so much!!

All in all it’s a great coffee maker. Filling the main water tank is a bit of a challenge without making a bit of a mess, I’ve resorted to using a funnel. The steamer is neat, but I’ve yet to froth/steam the milk without making a huge mess— and it just turns out as hot milk.

It takes a minute to get to know how to operate this machine, but once you get that down it’s a breeze. It’s the only machine I’ve found that can do both the nespresso and the keurig pods, which is a really nice feature when you have 3 people in the house that all like different things. The large reservoir is nice too. My only complaints are that it’s kind of large, but that’s understandable. And the steamer wand is way too low, so you can hardly get a cup under it, much less a full cup. But all around, it’s a really great machine. Very happy.
