All in all, I like the coffee maker, but! There is no way to shut coffeemaker off, only way is to set the "OFF-TIMER" to desired length. Also, a little tricky to pour water in without spilling, splashing because the cover doesn't fold back far enough away.

Purchased this from online department store website for the the barista bar 4 in one to replace an older less functional model. Was disappointed that the carafe was already damaged from original packaging. Additionally the pump for all coffee functions is very loud. Does not matter if using a pod or espresso capsule. Rather put off by the lack of quality and care to ensure new components such as these perform without issue.

Excellent value--does everything I need--espresso, cappuccino, K-cups, nespresso cups, regular coffee, foamer. My only complaints are that the top opens at such an angle that it is difficult to fill with water, and I wish it would keep the coffee just slightly hotter. Other than that, the family is pleased with this.

Barista bar allows the user to make coffee/expresso three different ways which makes it very versatile. I do have an issue with the display as I find it very difficult to read. Cuisinart could have done a much better job with that aspect of the maker. Aside from that it works well.

Although it was a gift, I researched coffee machines for quite a while, and requested this one. It simply does all the things, from quick hot water for my tea, to making a pot of Sumatra decaf that I can quickly add a pod of espresso to for an afternoon pick-me-up. I seldom use the Keurig-like feature, yet appreciate having it for guests who will not consider anything except full caffeine. My kitchen is small, and this has a reasonable footprint. I keep it on a sliding base, and this helps with water filling. Set up was not intuitive, yet also not horrible. Between the (inadequate) manual and YouTube I figured everything out in one day of trying all the features. I also have a Cuisinart burr grinder…I am fairly certain I make the best coffee of anyone I know. Really, I think it needs a name because it has become part of the household. I’m hoping we have a long, satisfying relationship….

A step down from previous Cuisinart appliance sadly. Wanted to be able to have more options for morning coffee, but have very limited counter space. Went with 4 in 1 model. Brewer function good; K-cup function leaves more water in K-cup than previous Cuisinart of four years; Nesspresso function also leaves water and lever gets stuck more often than not so making two espressos can't happen :-(

The Barista Bar does everything I want it to. I have purchased a reusable pod and love making my morning one cup of coffee from my own fresh ground beans. The steamer/hot water works great and I've tired the espresso. Had to reread the directions, but I'm making friends.

Overall, we're very pleased with this coffee maker. Once you understand the two different systems (one for drip coffee and one for espresso) it's very easy to use. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that the hot water function only produces water that's warm enough to make tea, but not hot. Also, I'm still struggling a bit with getting the foam right for lattes -- I try to follow the instructions in the user's manual, but I still get some big bubbles as the milk heats. This is likely to be my issue, and with practice I can say I'm getting much better at steaming the milk. We're definitely happy with this purchase.

This has been a great Coffee Center, so far. It does everything, as advertised, pretty well. The only issues are one: it is fairly noisy and two: the temperature of the individual drinks (all sizes of the pod drinks, coffee and espresso) are not as hot as I would prefer. Overall, I have been happy with the purchase and I would recommend it to others.

I actually love the coffee maker, but the only reason I gave it a 4star rating is because of the steam wand being too low. I had to purchase a board for raising the machine just enough to not have to struggle with spilling the hot water from the cup that is filled by the steam wand
