Two units have failed. The first started leaking water after the second usage from the pod water storage tank. The water came from under the coffee maker. Confirmed by emptying the storage tank, the seals were good. The second unit worked for 5 days making one cup from the pod side and brewing a full carafe. Then a half carafe coffee went to a hard boil and the pod water storage leaked out of the bottom of the unit. Design problem, manufacturing problem, or both? I have had good luck with Cuisinart coffee makers for years. And this was a gift.

Cuisinart makes the best coffee makers. I replaced my old Cuisinart after nearly 20 years. It was still working but I wanted to upgrade to the 2 in 1 model with single serve/carafe options. Its sleek design blended perfectly with my new stainless steel major appliances. And it makes great hot coffee. Would definitely recommend

Coffee maker flexibility...single pod or pot...is wonderful. Makes really good coffee. Would give it 5 stars except there is no indication to add water for single pod use. You start the process but nothing happens. The reservoir is behind the maker and not easily visible unless you move the maker. Not a show stopper but a real nuisance...especially until you get used to it. On the bright side, coffee is very hot and warming plate keep carafe hot as well.

I have had two or three of these coffee makers. I love the option of being able to brew a single cup or a carafe and use both often. But each time I have had a problem with the brewing. The first time I purchased, the single serve function didn't work when I received it and the coffeemaker was replaced free of charge. The second time I think it quit working on the carafe side, but don't remember for sure if that was the problem. They replaced it again. This time, I've had it a little over a year and the carafe side won't brew. I've tried to clean it and it won't put water into the carafe and it smells hot, like a wire is fried. Love the coffee maker, but won't purchase another because of the consistent problems with the machine.

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!

While making a K-cup it exploded inside and coffee grounds were everywhere. Another time brewing a pot of coffee, it didn't work properly and had coffee grounds all over. Not sure if it was operator error or machine malfunction. Haven't had the issue again so waiting to see if it happens again.

I had a Hamilton Beach combo K-cup, carafe coffee maker and it made a mess with each K Cup and took forever to brew. My new Cuisinart combo coffee maker solved my problem of messes and is super fast. I love how hot the coffee in the carafe stays and the whole unit is smaller than my other one. It was a great purchase for me!

This is the third coffee center we've had in the last year and a half. The first one the single cup side died with in 6 months. The second one, the single cup died within 4-5 months. This one we've had less than 6 months. We'll see how long it lasts. Otherwise, everything else works just fine

OUTSTANDING! I had a Cuisinart 12 cup coffee ginder/mill and it lasted every day, sometimes twice a day, for over 8 years and it was still going strong. May have lasted another couple years. You know how many times that ended up being used? That's at least 2,920 times without a problem of any kind. I will ALWAYS use a Cuisinart.

Great coffee maker. I like my coffee strong and flavorful. This machine does that. The filter basket is large enough to hold the amount of ground coffee to do that. My wife likes hers strong, but not as strong as mine, so we are able to use the single cup station to make her cup separately. Very handy. It's a very versatile machine and we are enjoying it every day.
