I used it to make K cups and a whole pot of coffee. The K Cup holder/dispenser would not stay open while loading the K Cup. It would slowly slide down not leaving enough room to place the K Cup in the dispenser without manually pushing it open and holding it open to load the K Cup. It was quit noisy through the process. The drip coffee maker on the hand was slow but did make a great pot of coffee. The temperature was very hot and the hot plate stayed on the full 4 hours (unless adjusting it for less) and kept the coffee hot the entire time. Water seemed to leak a little on the single cup side. The machine as a whole did not feel as heavy or sturdy as other Cuisinart machines I have owned. I am returning it and looking for another.

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.

Got off to a bad start but now I love it. It seems folks have had an issue with the single serve side not working. No POD light when the POD button pressed. A google search showed a quick fix. I interpreted this problem as a sticky pod sensor switch right under the pod lid. I had that problem right out of the box. Did the 'fix' and all was good. It did it a day later and I did the 'fix' again. Since tht it's been working fine great.

The construction and design quality of this coffee maker is way beyond the Keurigs, etc. Ive had. Everything is so well though out ... Like the fold out handle to lift out the tank for water, and the 4-12 ounce selection on the pod brew switch. I have not used the karafe yet, but its design is amazing. Finally, this brewer is much quieter than my previous Keurig machines. I'm very happly with it.

We love the cuisinart coffee central with 2 in 1 glass coffee pot and pod capability. The coffee maker is easy to use and program. We selected the brew strength and time we want the coffee maker to go on in the morning with ease. The coffee stays hot for two hours after brewing.

I bought this coffee maker about 2 weeks ago. I have a regular Cuisinart coffee maker that I have had for over 10 years. I love it but thought I wanted one that would brew a pot of coffee or one K-cup of coffee, plus I liked the idea of having a water reservoir so I could keep water ready for a cup. I don't understand, but when I put water in the K-pod reservoir the water leaks out all over my counter. The first time I thought maybe I didn't get the reservoir on right, so the next time I paid close attention and made sure it was on right and secure. The same thing happened. Water leaked all over the counter. Has anyone else had this happen? It is so frustrating and disappointing that a Cuisinart product would be this defective. I should have gone with the Ninja one I was looking at first.

This machine is my most favorite by a long shot! I bought a competitor machine prior to this one and it leaked all over the place and clogged up within two weeks. This is VERY well made and satisfies whatever you are craving - a lot or just one cup. I am thrilled with this purchase and will buy one for every family member at birthday time. I LOVE IT!!

Perfect coffee maker when you're looking for a machine that makes both single serve and a pot when needed. Easy to use and has wonderful features such as adjustable carafe temperature for those that like your second cup to be as hot as the first one was. The BOLD brew makes it strong for those that like a strong brew, it also makes the lighter coffee blends stronger. The POD feature lets you select how many ounces you would like to brew with each pod. For those that love iced coffee that feature is also available. The only thing I would change would be to add a back light on the display screen and brighter markings on the water reservoir.

We made 3 pots of coffee and 4 single cups and then the coffee maker stopped working. The lights would light, we carefully went over the manual, we went online looking for troubleshooting guidance...no matter what we could never get the coffee maker to work again.

Easy to use. Makes coffee fast. The only thing i dont like is the water filter is kinda in the way when you put the water in. You have to pour the water really slow to make it in the small opening to put water in. Single cup area is a great addition and works great
