My Cuisinart 2 and 1 coffee maker is great. The setup was really easy. Using this coffee maker is very straight forward. The 12 cup makes great coffee with no grinds. The single cup is very convenient when you only need a small amount of coffee. I have recommended it to family members.

I bought a used one at a second hand store. I didn't think a coffee maker could be any different. I just needed something to replace my existing almost non-functional one. I was so wrong! The used one died and I bought one from Cuisinart. I told my husband regardless of cost, I am never going back to any other brand on sale Well worth the money, buy yourself one and enjoy your cup of coffee.

This is the second coffee maker I have had of the same model. It's easy to use and especially easy to keep clean. Just use vinegar and water, no special cleaners to buy. I love that I can make a 12 cup carafe or use k-cups if we prefer. The glass coffee pot, lid and inside filter basket are all dishwasher safe. Best one on the market and a reasonable price.

This is a great coffee maker. I wanted a new one with both a carafe and k cup option and this fits the bill. It makes great coffee and looks great too. Don't hesitate to purchase this. Also, don't fret with the weird shaped filter requirement. Regular filters will fit in there just fine too. Just tuck them in and no problems.

I was a little concerned based on some reviews I saw, but this coffee maker has exceeded my expectations. It makes great coffee - both hot and iced, bold or regular, in a pot or a k-cup. It is bigger than I expected, but works well in my RV. It has a 2 year warranty but I don't expect to have to use it. I got a great deal on it too!! I highly recommend.

I love this coffee maker. First, we have black stainless steel appliances in our kitchen. It is difficult to find kitchen appliances that match, and this black stainless steel Cuisinart Duo Coffee maker is a perfect match. I have had a few Kuerig coffee makers over the past few years, 2 of which have since broken. I don't expect an appliance to last forever, but when 2 of these quit working, I decided to search for something else. That is when I came across this Cuisinart coffee maker. The coffee maker comes with 2 types of brewing choices in a single unit. There is a traditional brewing side, with a 12 cup carafe for making larger quantities of coffee, and a pod side for single serve coffee. Each side has its own water dispenser, which I like. For the brewing side, you place the amount of water for how many cups you would like to brew into the water reservoir and it will brew exactly that amount. Each side also contains a holder to place a charcoal filter in to purify the water. Two filters are included with the coffee maker when you purchase it. There are several features on this maker that I absolutely love. The brewing side can be set to automatic brew, so you can have a pot of coffee waiting for you at whatever time of day you choose. It comes with a mesh perma-filter, or you can choose to use disposable paper filters instead. It also features (and this is my very favorite), a “bold” button for brewing extra strong coffee. You can also choose to brew your coffee over ice, to make a delicious cold drink. With the first cup of coffee I made with this machine, I used the pod side, and it was one of the best cups of coffee I have had in years. Of course, I set the timer for the brewing side for the next morning, so I could check it out. It surpassed my expectations. The coffee maker was quiet, so I was not even sure it had made the coffee, until the exquisite aroma reached the bedroom. I was in coffee paradise. The pod side also has some excellent features. The coffee maker can accommodate several sizes of cups and travel mugs. For single cups or small travel mugs, there is a flip down cup holder that fits the short sizes perfectly. For an average tumbler, you just put your tumbler on the bottom base to brew. For tall travel mugs, the bottom tray lid can be removed to fit the larger tumblers. You can select 4,6,8,10, or 12 oz. brewing capacities. This is a great, versatile feature. The single serve water reservoir holds up to 42 oz. of water and has a convenient handle to allow easy removal/replacement. This coffee maker is sleek, compact, lightweight, extremely functional, and brews excellent coffee. I could not ask for more. It has features I did not even know I wanted until I had them. I am so very happy with my coffee maker, I have already recommended it to a friend.

The pros--it's NOT a Keurig (I had problems with them), it looks nice & it keeps my coffee pretty warm. The cons--the 2 water tank system. We use bottled water...I don't drink many k-cups, usually just a couple here & there. To fill it to minimum fill, I waste water because you can't keep it in there for more than a couple of days. Plus I've had a few disasters with the k cups splattering all over. Don't even get me started on the programming. I guess I should have researched more but I have quite a few Cuisinart products & I like every one of them I'm very unhappy right now.

Although I absolutely love the coffee maker now, it was frustrating to have to send back the first one as the pod side was not working. In the meantime, I read a review on YouTube where a fix was available. Had I known that, I would have tried it before sending it back. In the review there were numerous complaints about the same problem, enough that it should be looked into and rectified. That being said, it is working perfectly fine, the coffee stays hot and flavorful, and the overall look of the coffee maker are all pluses

I have had this model for almost 2 years and have really enjoyed it. The versatility is great. The coffee is great. The "over ice" option is nice, just know that it's still hot coffee coming out. I think it just makes it really strong so that the melting ice doesn't dilute it too much. You then need to pour it over more ice, but it's much faster than making coffee and waiting for it to cool in the refrigerator. I must say that Cuisinart really exceeded my expectations when my coffee maker started smoking. They sent me a new one in 3 days! So, keep your receipts and do whatever you need to for the warranty. But, I'm kinda glad it happened, because I got a new coffeemaker that I love.

I was so sick of my kurig coffee maker kept breaking, after the 3rd one I bought just quit after 5 months that was it for me. I saw this dual Cuisinart maker and it looked perfect so hoping for the best and was ready to go back to making my coffee with great beans and also if I needed just one cup could go with the pod side. I am thrilled with this machine, the coffee was fantastic and it was a snap to make and the pod side was just as wonderful. I highly recommend this product,
