We've been using a Keurig machine for about 10 years now but recently decided to go back to a regular coffee pot brewer that would also still have the option for brewing a single cup. We decided to give the Cuisinart Coffee Center 4-in-1 Coffeemaker a try as it also uses K-Cup pods and Nespresso Original Line capsules along with brewing a full pot of coffee. So far we're thrilled with the delicious brewed coffee and the option of up to 4 hours of the "keep warm" setting. As far as the K-cup option goes, it's as good as a Keurig. We've never used a Nespresso machine before so we have nothing to compare it to but so far the espresso is very good. When making mochas, lattes, cappuccinos, etc., it takes some practice when using the milk frother. We watched some online instruction videos on how to properly froth and steam milk, which we recommend highly, and the one thing we noticed in all the videos is the steaming wand does not have a tube covering the wand like this machine does and we believe it makes a difference in the frothing. We've been using the wand without the tube cover and it seems to work better. Also, with the tube cover on it makes it difficult to remove the frothing cup without having to pull the coffeemaker all the way to the edge of the counter. This is a bit of an incovenience. One reviewer said it bothered her so much she had her husband build a 3" high box to set her machine on for ease in removing the frothing cup from under the wand. However, if you're using the machine on a counter that has an upper cabinet above it, this would not be a good solution. Other than this slight flaw, we are loving this coffee maker and hope it continues to deliver great coffee and single cups for years to come!

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.

This is the best barista!! I can make delicious latte, cappuccino, coffee all in one ! I love that i don't have three systems on my countertop anymore! Really is genius and a space saver!! Best purchase i have made!! You wont regret this investment!!

This Cuisinart Coffee Center Barista Bar is every single thing I wanted all in one. I'm a long-time Nespresso owner as well as a long-time Cuisinart coffee maker owner, and this Coffee Center has now claimed the ONLY spot on the coffee counter in our home. Spectacular!

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!

I love the flexibility of using grounds/kcups & capsules. However, the machine is slow to brew with Kcups and capsules. Frother takes some time to get ready. Espresso comes out not too hot and weak. Even when I use 11 intensity capsules. Still experimenting with this, but so far I do miss my Keurig smart maker!

Good product. Thankful that I read previous reviews about K-Cup issues. I push my K-cup down in the slot until it pops before closing the lid. This ensures that the K-Cup does not explode which has been an issue according to reviews. Unfortunately the single serve coffee does not come out hot, it is just warm. It really is frustrating when I need to add creamer. I am going to experiment with running a small espresso cup amount through and see if the next cup is hot.

Pleasantly surprised this combination espresso, coffee maker, and single serve maker does all so well. The milk frother actually does a great job. I've had another brand and had to return two units as the first one was used and covered with coffee. The replacement machine was fine for a couple of months until it began giving electrical shocks.

I ordered this product as a replacement for a machine we had previously that broke and only made k-cup coffees and espressos. I ordered it for my office. We thought it would be a nice addition because it uses pods, can be used with a reusable pod, has a coffee maker and milk frother. The office loves it. I use the frother every morning, twice, to make an oat milk espresso. Its simple to use, looks nice on the counter and makes great coffee. I want to get one for my house!!

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.
