I had an older model of this combo coffee maker where the pod coffee brewer assembly was on the right side and the pot coffee maker was on the left side. It was very inconvenient to pour the water into the unit for the pot side without spilling it all over the pod component. It was has been reversed on this new model and that's simplified both the filling of the brewer side with coffee and water. The controls for both sides are now very touch sensitive and don't require a heavy hand to operate them. The controls are very intuitive as well. The pod controls also allow for designating the size of the desired cup size: 6, 8, 10 or 12 oz sizes.

I absolutely love this new coffee maker. It takes up less space than my previous coffee maker and Keurig. It’s a pretty white instead of black so matches my kitchen better. It works really well and coffee is hot! I feel the single serve cover locks down better than my Keurig so coffee pod is used better.

WOW, this coffeemaker is wonderful! The features on this model are great and coincide with our needs for either a pot of brewed coffee or just making a cup using a pod. This coffeemaker was a replacement for our older Cuisinart so we have history with the products.

Fourth time getting the same coffee maker in a year. Yes I'm an idiot. I like the looks of it, but they keep breaking down. In my defense, I only payed twice, the two times were returns because they didn't last a day. This fourth one already blew up some k-cups, but we're still hanging on. Cuisinart's quality has put them from top of the line to overpriced junk. CEO needs to relinquish their position.

This machine looks really nice so I purchased the black stainless. Once I received it, I was preparing the initial „set up“ like running water through the coffee maker then attempting to do the same in the K-Cup side when the pod button wouldn't illuminate or turn on. I called Cuisinart customer service and she walked me through several troubleshooting attempts. To no avail the machine was defective. I returned it to Sam's Club for a refund. Reordered the same machine (in store they only sell stainless steel not black SS) once I received the machine again, same issue. It's really frustrating that the K-Cup wouldn't work on either machine because what a nice looking brew machine it is. But I returned a second time and will not purchase again. After reading reviews, this machine gets about 3.2 stars.

Great coffeemaker. I had the older model of this machine and thought it about time to upgrade. I find it useful to have the choice of brewing a pot or a single cup. This model is faster than my old one. I could go on about its features but I think the most important thing I can say is that it makes a good and hot cup of coffee.

Convenience, style and taste are what I achieve each morning as I wake to begin my day. I have only owned a Mr. Coffee and Cuisine Coffee Makers. Last Cuisine was used daily for over ten years. This newest one also has a single serve along with the twelve-cup capacity. If I live long enough to need a new coffee maker it will definitely be another Cuisine!

Both sides of the machine have been working properly since we started using it about 3 weeks ago. I did have to loosen up a button on the K-cup side that sits under the part that lifts up to receive the cup, so -1 star for that issue which seems to be common.

I purchased the Cuisinart SS-16 coffee maker to replace a competitive brand. Although it works for the most part, some features are underwhelming. I bought it because it is supposed to be K-Cup compatible. However, using K-Cups causes the unit to explode coffee grounds all over the inside of the single cup side of the unit. I’ve followed the trouble shooting instructions but it just doesn’t work. I have resorted to using the supplied cup / filter which does work but isn’t as fast. The other disappointing feature is the reservoir size for the single serve side. It is quite small compared to the competition.

We have had the Cuisinart Coffee Center for a month and find it to be easy to use and very dependable. Many options for either carafe coffee or pod coffee from "bold" and carafe temperature to "bold" and ounce settings. You also have the option to use reusable filter for the carafe and pod coffee. We look forward to many years with this coffee maker.
