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.

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 had an older Cuisinart pod and brew coffee center and it finally served its time. We bought this through another third party and received it in two days. This Center is a step up from the previous model. It has a shelf for a shorter cup and a temperature control for the carafe. In addition, one can have the coffee brewed bold. It's sleek and looks good next to our expresso machine.

This is the most recent of my Cuisinart coffee maker purchases. Ever since my first one I've been hooked. They make the best coffee and every time we have people over, they comment how good the coffee is. I tried the bold setting when it started coming out on the coffeemakers and I'll never not use it. With the price of coffee skyrocketing Cuisinart's make even inexpensive coffee taste good. And to get strong coffee, you can just use the standard amount of coffee stretching it. Family members always comment on how good and strong my coffee is. Granted, more expensive coffee is generally better tasting, but it's not just the coffee, but the coffee maker! And with the reusable pod, I can use my own coffee to brew a cup saving on the cost of having to purchase the pods. The only negative thing is that you can't use the bold setting when making a single cup.

This is my 3rd Cuisinart and second with the Pod accessory. I haven’t tried the iced coffee feature but love the simplicity of the features, very intuitive. I poured the water in my old one from the other side so that still seems awkward. It brews a great cup of coffee! The pod is always handy for someone that wants decaf or iced.

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.

The coffee (ground or pod) comes out great. The one thing that I don't like about it is that the water level gauge on the right side of the machine is too small to see clearly, I literally have to turn the machine 90 degrees so I can see how much water to pour in. The window of the gauge needs to be made much wider.

Machine works great; heats up fast and makes great tasting coffee in both the brewed and pod functions. This is my 6th Cuisinart coffee maker. My only complaint is that the plastic parts are cheaper and less quality Cuisinart coffee makers. My basket has already come apart after only a few uses. Hopefully Cuisinart will get the manufacturer to fix this or change manufacturers.

This is my third Cuisinart coffee maker. I like the dual option and most often use the single serve side. I had to replace my second one due to leaking after just a year and when I bought its replacement, I had to return it because the single serve side didn't work. Its replacement seems to be ok but the clock does not light up. I was tired of returning so just kept it. If I didn't like this so much, I would have bought another brand.

The directions could be a little bit more clear, especially on the delay for brewing. But since I don't use that function very often I can get by The liquid coffee the directions could be a little bit more clear, especially on the delay for brewing. But since I don’t use that function very often I can get by The the maker makes extremely hot coffee, which is great compared to my Keurig that I had. I would highly recommend this model.
