We've owned at least 3 of the previous model, and continue to find this the best coffee pot for our needs. We need two water reservoirs because we have a water softener and the ions in the softened water cause the single cups to clog. We use purchased filtered water for the single cup reservoir and regular tap water for the carafe side. The new design has the pot on the right side, which makes it easier for those of us who are right handed to fill (sorry lefties). The programming has been tweaked to be quite straightforward. I only wish we could brew on the bold setting when auto programming.

I’ve had two of these coffee makers quit working while brewing. They were both under warranty and I did receive replacements in a timely manner but it had to be the same one. Why would I want the same one when two had already quit working? I would not buy another Cuisinart Coffee Maker.

I love this machine! Very nicely made and looks classy compared to the 3 Keurigs I've owned in the past that stopped working including 1 that was only 3 months old and they refused to replace because I didn't keep my receipt. I Will never go back to Keurig after using the Cuisinart. It's a much better made machine than Keurig!

Getting ready to return it. Used it over the holiday. If your regular size coffee cup is slightly higher (different coffee cups) then you can’t brew the single cup on the top shelf and have to use the one on the bottom. Disappointment. In regard's to the carafe, two pots overflowed with ground coffee and I only used 7 spoons. The pot had only been used 2 times. What a mess. Seems flimsy.

Absolutely LOVE this coffee maker! I use it equally both ways. Sometimes I set the pot so it’s ready when I get up for work, and other times I choose the re-usable pod and ground coffee for one mug on-the-go. Also, I am a die hard brewed coffee fan—never loved an k-cup—however the pod brews consistently great coffee! It’s hot and wonderful either way! I’m a return Cuisinart customer after trying another brand in between and I am so glad I came back! Completely satisfied!

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.

Love the upgrades to this over the last model we had. The cup shelf is needed. We always had to put an upsdie down bowl under to old one. And the larger lip to catch the runoff on the back is awsome! We were tired of finding a puddle back there. Thansk for improving it!

We were looking for a coffeemaker that would allow us to brew a single cup-with a kcup and our own coffee; as well as brew a whole pot. This coffeemaker gives many options! It brews a hot cup of coffee in a short time. Im very happy with this coffeemaker!

We do love the coffee maker overall. But the design for the caraffe, putting in and taking out off the hot plate is very rough. It does not slide in and out well at all. The piece that allows you to pull caraffe out while brewing does not engage and disengage well at all. Also, the design of the lid on the caraffe is poor. The two small tabs the lock the lid in place break off easily and it is not user-friendly to put on and take off. It does make good coffee and the k-pod works very well.

This an awesome coffee pot, easy to use 1 or 12 cups of coffee, and ice drinks couldn't ask for a better coffee pot. And makes it fast way better than the 1 we had Mr coffee junk so slow and you don't have to buy a separate machine like a Keurig this does just the same. Five star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
