I really am impressed with this Cuisinart coffee maker. You can use pods or make a full pot or even iced coffee. After 3 dead Keurigs in 3 years, I'd had enough. I had a Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker several years ago and loved it so I thought I give this one a try. We use the pods during the week and the pot on weekends. I am not disappointed with my purchase, it's worth the money. I got the black with stainless trim so I guess you need to read all the details when ordering and selecting to make sure you do get stainless.

Makes a good pot of coffee but the single serve not so much. Had problems getting it to work initially and the fix was no where to be found until Owen to YouTube and found other customers with the same issue. It was an easy fix but I spent an hour trying to figure it out myself. I love most Cuisinart items but this product is not their best. Again, it makes a good pot but the single serve pod doesn’t compare to a keurig. Also I think it’s cheaply made but most are!

Today is day 34, and it is sitting out on my back patio smoking. After using the "K-cup" side of it, the carafe heating element pad, which wasn't in use, got hot and started making crackling noises. I pulled the plug on it and swiftly took it outside and set it on the back patio, because it was smoking. Yeah, I'm done with Cuisinart.

I love Cuisnart coffee maker- it replaces 2 items on my counter. I had a coffee maker that seem to take long time to brew even after cleaning and a one cup tea maker. The start up instructions were unclear, but after (my daughter figured it out) it is simple to run and quick to fill. I love the single cup for both coffee and hot water for tea. Haven't use the carafe much but will for family gatherings. Cuisnart is a brand I trust for longevity and quality as I have a food processor and double sided waffle maker that are great also. Great brand. Janice

We're kind of coffee snobs, pretty particular about our java. We bought this coffee maker for a guest house we have at the farm to replace a Hamilton Beach Flex Brew (2 in 1)…ours at home is a Cuisinart Burr Grind & Brew, which makes nearly perfect coffee. The 2 in 1 makes very good coffee, maybe not as good as the Grind & Brew, but pretty close. It brews much faster than the Hamilton Beach and the coffee is warmer and tastes better.

We purchased this coffee center to replace our previous Cuisinart coffee center which we have had for the past 7+ years. It too had a combination, Keurig coffee pod maker as well as producing a pot of coffee. This model definitely is a vast improvement over the replacement in addition it adds beauty to our kitchen counter.

This is my 2nd Cuisinart coffeemaker as I bought one for our summer house and I loved it so much I bought one for my other house. It's wonderful to be able to make one individual cup or when I have guests I can make a whole pot of coffee. I am pleased with Cuisinart products as I have a countertop oven/air fryer too. Thanks

My previous cuisinart “hot beverage system” was 11 years old, knowing the reliability of cuisinart I knew I would be buying another one. I really like the ability to use the reusable filter cup instead of the store bought Kcups to reduce plastic into landfill.

I was excited for this coffeemaker as we wanted a two in one, and I've had good luck with Cuisinart before. Unfortunately, it broke within a couple of weeks - the electronics gave out, and you could no longer make coffee. Samsclub let us return it though!

I bought this to replace two counter top units. It is a good looking unit that works very well in both capacities. I seldom use the automatic start function but it is nice to have, the brewer works very well and I really like the bold selection to add a bit more flavor to the brew. The single serve is very handy for when the urge hits for the odd cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
