I absolutely love this coffee machine! I have used Cuisinart coffee makers for years and have never been disappointed. I like having the charcoal filters in the water reservoir. If you're a coffee lover, this is it for you! You have many coffee options (carafe, k-cups,espresso ) the added bonus of a steamer,frother. The book also has recipes. I did watch a video on YouTube before initial use... Very helpful since there are so many ways to use it.

I replaced my delonghi coffee/espresso machine with this setup. I couldn't be happier. Having the ability to make espresso, a pot of coffee or a single cup is awesome. Everything works great and takes up minimal space. I'd highly recommend this product.

So far this coffee maker has been quite the learning curve. The set up is wonderful, but I cannot figure out where the second folder actually belongs. Finally noted a vague picture of. It's sitting in the second reservoir, but there's no actual spot for it to adhere to. Also, I have struggled surfing the Internet to find out how you can keep the carafe on warm or add warm to a previously brewed pot. This is a big deal to me as I make multiple pots some days. Hope I can iron these little problems out talking with Cuisinart. The coffee taste wonderful and I'm enjoying the steamer and hot water aspect of this appliance. Have had a Keurig coffee maker for the past five years and have had some issues with it, but overall it was easier to get started. Hopefully I will be able to write another review after using this appliance longer.

LOVE THE CONVENIENCE OF HAVING A SIDE BY SIDE OPTION FOR MAKING COFFEE. THE HOT WATER AND STEAM WAND ADD TO MY OPTIONS. HAVE NOT TRIED THE ESPPRESSO POD FEATURE, BUT I DON'T THNIK I WILL BE DISAPPOINTED. CUISINART HAS ALWAYS MADE THE BEST COFFEE FOR ME.

I needed to replace my drip coffee maker and my Nespresso single-serve machine. This Barista Bar does that by offering a drip option, an espresso pod option, and a K-Cup option. All are easy to use, plus the integrated steam option allows for the heating of milk and preparation of froth on demand. I highly recommend it.

I love this coffee machine! My only critique- I wish the setting that keeps the pot warm lasted more than 2 hours as a household that drinks coffee all day long. However, it can be turned back on, so it is not a dealbreaker in any sense. I like the glass coffee pot and the ability to brew a k-cup and espresso. 10/10

This coffee maker has several choices which really appealed to me--12 cup carafe, Keurig individual cups, Nespresso original espresso, hot water, and even a milk steamer/frother. Each option works fine, but read the directions well and be warned that the directions are not entirely intuitive. It is tricky to get the hot water to turn off once on, and there is a delay before the individual cup options start the process. The number face is a little funky, too--somehow the numbers look a little off, but the machine works fine otherwise. It makes great coffee, so no complaints there, but do read the directions carefully!

Very nice product. I use the cuisinart kcup to make. My cup of coffee and it is great. I jave also made expresso and frothed milk. It is very easy to use and clean. I love being able to get hot water from the steamer as well. It took a bit to long to get the machine primed (had to unplug 4 times and wait 30 min to try again) and water flowing, but once it got going it works great.

We've had the Barista machine for about a month now and LOVE it. We had an error code trying to set up the clean for the single cup side but I think the water reservoir wasnt aligned correctly. The coffee it makes is really great! I like that the company makes a reusable pod for Keurig-style cups but I really wish they'd make a compatible refillable espresso pod too.

I purchased this unit for our staff room. After much discussion and research, we all decided this machine would suite all of our needs; espresso, k-pods, hot water, and carafe. The water reservoir is easy to refill, the carafe is sturdy, and the pod area is conveniently located where both types of espresso & k-pods can be utilized. The steamer option has been a big hit for both milk, and Americanos! With a staff of 50 using it daily, it has held up amazing well. So glad we found this multi-purpose piece of heaven.
