I have owned many Cuisinart coffee makers and I have to say, this was my best purchase so far! I can accomplish so many things. The coffee maker is extremely flexible when it comes to making that perfect cup of coffee! So far, everything is working fine!

This was a Christmas gift from my spouse and I am really loving it. Makes great coffee and lattes, iced lattes, whatever you might order at your coffee shop. It's a nice way to settle at my desk in the morning or a quiet Sunday in the kitchen. A design flaw is the steam/hot water wand. The way it extends makes it difficult to maneuver whatever you are steaming or filling without spilling by having to tip it. I will probably find a small butcher block or something to raise the hight a bit for more clearance. Other than that, I have been enjoying my new coffeemaker!

We had a ninja 4in1 first, but returned it bc the warming plate would not turn on unless you brewed a quarter carafe or more. This cuisinart 4in1 does everything we want, the warming plate turns on for all brew sizes of coffee, the steam wand has been great for making cappuccino, and we've been loving it. Only gripe is with the coffee water reservoir. The lid only opens to straight up (vs past vertical on a prior model we own), so it gets hard to pour the last bit of water in if brewing over a half pot. I ended up using a funnel to solve that issue. I do love the removable water container on the back side for the kcups & espresso. I wish they could've shared that reservoir with the coffee function somehow. Overall, love it, and would highly recommend!

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.

Love all the features and it does not take a lot of counter space. We bought a small stainless frothing cup to use which works well. I saw others post about that the frothing mechanism was close to the counter. You could also get a base or something to store the coffee pods in to elevate the barista machine/frother

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.

We love our Barista Bar. Our Keurig was dying & we were looking for something new that could brew a pot of coffee & k cups. We found this & love the added plus of being able to make espresso based coffees like lattes. The coffee brews hotter & tastes stronger than using the Keurig. My boyfriend loves the reservoir b/c there are two large independent reservoirs and we don’t have to fill it up as much as we did the Keurig. The milk frother has elevated our coffee game, and I hardly ever visit Starbucks anymore b/c honestly I can make a better latte.

After working my morning with 3 different appliances to make coffee I an now enjoying a multi use coffee machine that uncluttered my kitchen counter. Espresso, a regular cup of joe, or a pot is now easy and satisfying. Each function works smoothly and fast. My mornings are now stress free and fun.

Had to order it twice because the first time it stopped working. The second machine has a steam function makes strange noises and takes forever to work. This was not the case with the first machine. Also, the puncture for single cups often does not fully puncture so you get a cup of hot water vs. coffee or espresso. I like that it has multiple functions but it seems like it still needs some work in order to be a five star machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 30 days ago and have thoroughly enjoyed both the single use (k cups, espresso pods) and drip coffee making from the unit. The only challenge is creating foam/froth using the frothing wand. it is difficult to get the exact depth correct and create foam/froth satisfactorily. often, it just heats the milk and that's it. I prefer some heavy froth, more like foam, but cannot consistently create that with this unit. Otherwise, the unit operates well.
