Like that it holds a lot of water in the reservoir and the 3 different ways to make coffee. BUT, the coffee from the K cup and Nespresso maker does not come out nearly hot enough. It is only about 158 F and literally cools off soon as it goes into a mug. You have to pre warm a cup if you want it to be hot. Also, the hot water maker barely comes out. It fills terribly slow. I just turn the knob to the K cup setting and use that without a K cup and it works great to make tea. Still barely above warm tea though. Also, it is ridiculously SLOW to make a Nespresso or K cup coffee. The Keurig is always ready and warm, this thing needs to heat it up first and then it gets going. Someone dropped the ball on this one. My Keurig made 192 F water and was great. If Keurig makes one with all these options of this 4 in 1 maker, I will definitely toss this one out and get one that makes HOT coffee. The carafe makes it hot enough though.

It is all I am looking for with a coffee system, but only adjustment I would recommend would be to make the single cup tray adjustable to fit different sized mugs. There is only 1 setting to adjust for smaller mugs or espresso cups, but most of my mugs ( I like oversized mugs) do not fit with the shorter shelf. I wish there were more levels in making a custom adjustment for the size cup/ mug you wish to use to keep the splashing to a minimum. Also, add a 12oz option :) Noticed that the single serve k-cup side does not like the eco pods (kauai coffee, chock full of nuts, etc), that have the less plastic cups. It didn't seem to want to work with these types of pods--was overflowing inside the brewing area instead of going through the pod into the dispenser cup below. If Cuisinart can make these adjustments; I would love to be upgraded --surprise me and ship it to me!!

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.

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.

I like the functionality of the coffee maker and it is very versatile. I do find that the various ways to make coffee do not get the liquids hot enough for me. Additionally, the coffee maker should come with any reusable pods that are known to work with this maker.

Overall content with it. Only a few changes I would recommend. The carafe fixed lid makes it difficult to pour out completely. It was this way on the older model I had also was hoping they would have fixed this by now. The wand also lacks dexterity. Pricey considering all the plastic.

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!

A little slow, but worth it! It takes a minute for the machine to warm up and actually brew or steam, but the results is a perfect cup of coffee or espresso. The auto brew is a wonderful, useful feature! I love the compact cube shape- saves counter space in our RV.

Good multipurpose coffee maker, can only use small Nespresso pods, would like to be able to use larger Nespresso pods that make a larger drink. Sometimes the Kcup pod only dispenses water, no coffee. Overall its a good multipurpose coffee maker for a household with different requirements.

The only reason this isn’t 5 stars is because if the position of the steam. There is almost zero chance using a regular mug or coffee cup for a latte. I solved the issue by purchasing a coffee pod holder to stand it on. Also takes fairly long to make the milk hot. I end up finishing in microwave. I love everything else about it.
