I had been using a different brand of coffee dual use maker went through 3 of them in a year. So I decided to give Cuisinart a try. The first maker lasted approximately 3 weeks before the single serve side quit working. I took it back to the store of purchase and got a second one. Set it up for use the next morning. That morning I noticed a little water on the counter but figured I may have spilled the night before. I decided to set it up for the next morning because I knew I was going to be late getting home that night. When I left the water was at the max level. When I got home there was water all over the counter and floor and the water level was below the minimum level! I took it back to the store and got my money back and went to a different store and bought another higher quality brand. I cannot recommend this product by Cuisinart!

This coffee maker is really nice looking. It looks just like it should . State of the art. The coffee it makes is wonderful. I have had other makers before, however the coffee never tasted as good as what my beautiful Cuisinart brews. I had a Keurig before, while it did brew the pods a little faster the flavor was no where near my Cuisinart. And yes I used the same coffee brand. In my opinion you can't beat this Cuisinart.

Love this combo! My husband wakes up before I do and uses the single serve (he drinks anything and doesn't mind waiting for the coffee to brew). I wake up and use the carafe because I love good strong coffee and want my coffee NOW. We are a Cuisinart household--I think I may have almost a dozen Cuisinart brands because they're well made and they last a long time.

After two weeks of daily use this coffee maker has preformed flawlessly. My experience with other brands that have only lasted about 15 months at the most before the heating element burns out lead me to switching brands. Hopefully this one will give me many years of service. P.S. A battery backup to hold settings during a power outage would be a nice improvement!

Excellent Coffee maker!!! It brews very fast, great controls for the Carafe temperature. The one cup brew works very well, and it is nice to be able to use your own coffee instead of a pod. This is my third Cuisinart coffee maker, and I have always been extremely happy with the products.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. I bought this and set it up. Single serve side would not work at all. Took it back and exchanged it for another one of the same. Set it up and the single serve again wouldn’t even turn on. The full pot side worked no problem. Returned it again, this time for a refund. Don’t waste your money.

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.

This unit replaced my previous model. That unit had the kcup on the right and the pot on left. The new unit is much more user friendly for us right-handers. Easy to refill reservoir and no spills. Improved controls make it easy to use. I have made about 50 pots and ran over 75 k-cups. Great coffee maker!

I liked the old one better. It had a light to let me know when water was needed. I am right handed and the water fill was on the right side and you could see the water level any time. I am getting ready to get rid of this and get another brand. Also, the pod service was also on the right side. Now you have to wait until you put the pod in and close it before the (needs water) indicator comes on. Bad design. The older one was perfect except it quit working and we got stuck with this one.

This is one of the best coffee makers I have ever owned. It makes a great pot of coffee as well as one individual cup of coffee. The interface is easy to use and actually big enough for me to read it. The over ice feature is great for when you want a cold coffee drink. I use this every day to brew the perfect cup or pot of coffee. I would buy this again with no hesitancy. I recommend this wonderful coffee maker!
