After reading a lot of poor reviews, I decided to purchase it anyways. My findings are as follows: I find the controls easy to use. I have not found coffee grounds in my coffee as some reviews have indicated. I have not found coffee missing or squirting outside the cup as other reviews have found. The only negative that I have found after using this pot for about a month now is it is very difficult to pour water into the reservoir for the coffee maker using the pot without it spilling all over. My solution and it is not perfect, but I've been using a measuring cup, it's less messy. Otherwise, I would give it a five star.

I am pleased with the functionality and the versatility of the 4 in 1 Barista Bar. For a fraction of the cost of higher end machines, I can make regular coffee from pods, espresso drinks from pods, hot foamed milk, and a full pot of coffee from fresh grounds. It has lived up to my expectations.

I love that I can have boiled water (which I use to warm my coffee cup!), I can have espresso drinks, make a quick keurig, or a pot. So far, it's been super easy (we've had it a month) and use it every day. I'm super satisfied. I will say, my husband was skeptical because he does not like change, but he's convinced too.

I already owe a Keurig machine, but I bought this one both as a backup and because it also brews large pots, thus removing the tedium of running multiple single-serve cycles with the Keurig. The expresso function was an extra plus, but soon became my favorite. I've lived in Italy, and using the Nespresso pods, this machine does a very acceptable job of duplicating the quality of expresso that I enjoyed there. I've also used the steam function a few times. I expect that it will produce the quality of frothed milk that that I experienced in Italy, but I'm still learning how to use it properly. So far, the machine has given great joy to this coffee fanatic.

It's really fun to have the option of drip, K-cups and Nespresso pods all in one. The machine forces you to clean (it's not just a message - it loses functionality when it needs to be cleaned), which I think is overall positive. I do wish it had less plastic touching hot water, etc. Otherwise, very happy with my purchase!

The maker looks fantastic and works well. The controls are easy to use and the pod section is sturdy and heavy duty. The carafe pours without dripping. Most importantly, the strong brew setting brews excellent coffee.

I love the ability to brew a single cup, an espresso shot, or a full carafe of coffee! All of the features work incredibly well and make a balanced cup every morning.

Makes very good coffee. is a little noisy. The temperature of the coffee could be a little hotter. very good as it's multi purpose; steams, makes a carafe , as well as pods.

After my 20+ year cuisinart coffee maker stopped heating I consolidated my daily brewmaking with my espresso making in one machine that also let's me do single kcup brews. Saved space and is more flexible. Couldn't be happier!

We like every function of the coffee maker, especially, the part that hot water comes from the steamer. I was able to get rid of my old electric kettle.
