I spent a lot of time researching for the perfect combo espresso and drip maker. This is the first time I’ve had anything other than a drip maker, I wanted drip and espresso capability with steamer and grinder. Could not find anything with ALL those things, but this was closest to what I was looking for. I bought a burr grinder which has been perfect and super easy to use. Paired with the cuisinart burr grinder, the drip coffee makes a great pot, but the downside is the placement of the water reservoir for the drip function. It’s awkward to pour into the reservoir positioned in the back with the lid right there and hard to get all the water in from the pot. I also have really liked the pod and nespresso functions. I’ve never had either before, they work great, I’ve enjoyed them more than I thought I would. The steamer wand is difficult to use however, again, placement is awkward, it rotates sideways, but hard to get a mug underneath it without spilling it. There is also a very long delay for the steamer or water to actually start. Overall, I would still purchase this again, but look forward to improved versions in the future when I’m ready to upgrade.

Wow! So happy with our Cuisinart Barista! First, no complicated cleanup. We had looked other systems and the cleanup discouraged us. Second, it is easy to use! Okay… we are not youngsters… so new things can be challenging. It’s very easy to use, and there are YouTube videos to help. I especially like that I can easily froth my husband’s milk for his coffee. He loves that. He like an occasional cup of tea and I like an occasional hot apple cider. Both are effortless! I cannot think of anything to complain about… possibly I would suggest making the large coffee pot have a removable water urn. It is on the left and a little bit harder to fill. But again, this is first world problems. The back water urn is removable for the steam, hot water and pods. Very easy! Thank you Cuisinart!

Design flaws otherwise decrease the overall value of a really good product. It is difficult to determine if the machine is turned on to brew. Then it is also difficult to know if the machine has been turned off by pushing the on/off button. Can't control how long the warner stay on. The steamer tube is clearly too long such that it is very difficult (dangerous) to remove a cup with hot liquid in it after using it to pour hot water/steam into it. The pod cup can be removed and a cup for regular ground coffee can be inserted instead of using expensive pods, but the manual does not explain this. But if you want a really good cup of coffee from the pot or single brew, it delivers.

Love the connivence of a 4 in 1 machine! Great steamer, expresso, hot water, k-cup and large pot of coffee machine (5 in 1)!! It is compatible with Peet’s expresso coffee too not just Nespresso original. Love the ability to be creative with the machine ( mixing expresso with k-cup etc…) Compact and sharp looking!!

We love this Barista. The coffee keeps hot. The espresso tastes great and it is so fun making the cappucino's. We use this daily and are satisfied with it. The only downfall is the coffee pot makes a clicking sound every few minutes once the coffee is made. We are not sure if this is suppose to make the noise or not.

Being able to do k-cups and espresso pods, PLUS a traditional pot of brewed coffee was the selling point. Bonus milk frother wand/hot water access for oatmeal…this thing is a beast! Truly enjoying the versatility of the machine and have been pleased so far!

Great unit with multiple ways to make great coffee/Espresso at a very affordable price. Includes a steamer, something that makes this more authentic as a barista would use. Always liked the Cuisinart brand. Found the quality of this new model to be a step up from the previous models. Looks and feels like a more robust design. Controls now much more intuitive make it easy to select what you want with auto shut off. After 2 mos. of use have found the unit to be everything as advertised.

Owned it for about a month. So far we like it. Sometimes have to hit the on button twice before it comes on. Once we figured that out, everything has been fine. Makes a beautiful espresso and the steamer works great. Somewhat difficult to get a cup under the spout because it is so low. Have to move it to the edge of the sink to make this works. Makes a beautiful frothy milk.

Love love love my Coffee Center Barista Bar. I have wanted an espresso with steamer to make fancy cups of coffee but didnt want to give up my single pods that I have used for years. My husband loves a pot of coffee so when I found this 4 in 1 that does them all...I was excited! It has lived up to my expectations and more! It does so many things. I didnt have room for all 3 on my counters so this was perfect. LOVE IT!
