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.

The coffee maker is quiet and operates great. I like the single serve side because of its convenience, speedy and I don’t have to use a k-cup, but my own grounds. Some reviews stated it overflows or leaks, but I haven’t had any issues. I can have a decaf cup of coffee in the evening easily without making a big mess. I am enjoying another great Cuisinart product.

This is my second Cuisinart coffee center. I had my first stainless steel k-cup combo for about 6 years. It was time for the newer model. The features I like the best are the easy program controls. I love how it keeps the Cafe heated for upto 4 hours and the café temperature selector. I like my coffee really hot! I also love the programable timer, having hot coffee waiting for me is so much better than me waiting for the coffee to finish brewing. The older model would spill coffee if you tilted the Cafe to far forward to make it pour faster. The new one hasn't spilled. I haven't used the k-cup on the new model but I'm hoping it is better than the earlier model that was finicky with different k-cups brands. Overall I really like this coffee center. It makes delicious coffee. It's my second one so I guess I really like it.

I really love this product. I had been wanting a combo pod and brew system but hadn't seen one I liked until this one. I have used Cuisinart coffee brewers for 30 years and always with great results. System works great and looks very compact and smart.

Many good features such as programmability, bold taste, coffee temperature options, etc. One downside is that when using the single-cup feature, the piercing of the pod makes a huge mess with ground coffee spilling all over that side of the coffee maker. I don't know if the point isn't sharp enough or what, but that's a major disappointment.

Overall this is a fabulous coffee machine. he only thing I would have liked would have been to allow my old single serving cup, which I filled with my own coffee and used in my old machine does not fit in this machine. Yes they have a separate reusable filter cup and a removable capsule holder. I just would have liked to have only the removable capsule holder and beable to insert my reusable filter cup into it.

ok, ii have always loved this Brand for the quality of their products. I ditched mt old Keurig that stopped working and bought this.2 in 1 brewer. Love the color Black stainless looks like a very expensive unit in my coffee corner. I have only had this since Jan 10 so really all ii have been making is my 1 cup (k-Cup) in the am and then my ice coffee. went shopping today and bought a bag of ground so I can use my Carafe. Love this brewer

Leaks from a mystery place. I am keeping it set up on a ceramic tray that will hold all the water that leaks out of this thing over night. It makes truly great coffee, so I am tolerating it, and it is the latest in a substantial line of Cuisinart coffeemakers residing in my kitchen. This is the second one I have ever had that I am just not completely happy with….

So far I'm quite pleased with my purchase. Everything is laid out for easy access and use. I appreciate having the ability to change the temperature of the hotplate and the auto off. Also like the "bold" function. I've used the reusable k cup numerous times using my own coffee. Really like this when all I want is a quick cup without having to purchase more expensive k cups. Would I recommend... Absolutely.

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.
