This is an amazing appliance. I think there are a few things that could make it better. I eould love to see a grind level choice instead of filling the pod so full. Also, I would like to see the cup seal to the grinder so that the grounds dont fall all over.

This is a wonderful single serve coffee maker. I read other reviews that complained that the device was messy. This would have deterred me from purchasing it, but I received it as a gift, so I used it. I am glad that I did. It does occasionally drop a few particles of ground coffee when you remove the basket after grinding. This is not surprising to me, since it does actually grind coffee beans. Every bean grinder I have used or seen does that. It is easy and quick to tidy up after making a cup. And the fresh ground beans make a cup of coffee that is worth the little bit of extra effort. I also like not using and disposing of single use plastic coffee pods.

I absolutely love this coffee machine. It's so easy to use much smaller than my last grind and brew. Easy to clean looks good on my counter doesn't take up much room. It makes hot delicious coffee fast. I am really happy with this machine. It gets a 5 in every category in

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The coffee maker was defective, and I returned it. On day 3, the lid that secures the pod into the main housing would not close properly, leaving a small gap between the top and bottom edges of the closure. Upon close inspection, I was unable to ascertain the reason for this. Nothing seemed out of order. A few days later, however, the unit began to leak water around the pod while the coffee was dripping into the cup. Fortunately, the retailer accepted the return. Despite mixed reviews for this coffee maker, I purchased it anyway, as I have a number of Cuisinart products that I have been happy with, and trusted the brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this coffee maker a little less than a month ago. Let me tell you, I absolutely love this coffee maker. It replaced an older maker that used the plastic K-cups. I was looking for something that I could use to get away from the K-cups. This was perfect. As a bonus, I can say I have never had a fresher cup of coffee. Being able to grind my coffee beans right before making a cup is the bomb. I am totally satisfied with my new coffee maker and would recommend to anyone who enjoys the freshest coffee in the morning, or any other time of the day.

The grinder is really nice to have but when you just want a quick cup of coffee forget it. Every time I put a pod in it blew out. My husband thought I was doing something wrong and it happened to him as well. It explodes every time. I cleaned the needle and all around it and still happened I even tried a different brand and the same thing happened. I boxed it up and time to say goodbye. Only had the machine a couple of weeks

My wife bought this unit for me for our anniversary, to replace my poorly executed pour over coffee. I was skeptical at first that it would produce better results than I did, but to me delight, the machine does an excellent job! I have not used a standard k-cup in the machine, instead I have been grinding my own coffee into the reusable filter pod, which is convenient and easy! The different brew sizes mean that I can adjust my coffee strength to my liking, and I've even found I can double brew the smallest size into my large tumbler without it being too weak. I'm a convert! I can feel good about not killing the planet with extra plastic, and still enjoy the push button convenience! I get about 4 of the largest cups of coffee from the machine before having to refill the water reservoir, and I find that for one person, the hopper holds about a weeks worth of coffee, so there's not too much fussing around in the morning rush.

This coffee maker, in theory, seemed like a gem. I should have read the reviews. The grinder did not auto-stop and threw coffee grounds everywhere. The grind is set at medium. I prefer a finer grind, for I love a dark, rich cup of coffee. This coffee was weak at best, with the manual recommendation to use less water. What! That's not an appropriate answer. I you're okay with a mess for a weak cup of coffee, this is the perfect machine.

I have always bought a Cuisinart product..The items Cuisinart that have purchased in the past are still working never had a problem with them..One day my kitchen will have nothing but Cuisinart in it …there are many more of their products that I want to get..I love Cuisinart..definitely recommend all their products..🩵🩵

it's pretty convenient and makes a great cup of fresh coffee with fresh grinds. It's a little messy but other than that, it's compact and makes a great cup of coffee. You can also use the store bought coffee pods if you are in a hurry and not have time to grind your own coffee.
