COFFEE CENTERĀ® BARISTA BAR 4-IN-1 COFFEEMAKER

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.

Great coffee machine!

Excellent coffee maker but doesn't steam the milk hot enough. Everything else is great- hot coffee, Keurig coffee, and Nespresso pod coffee. It's nice to have only one machine on the kitchen counter. There's a learning curve to using it and there are You Tube videos that are easier to understand then the manual. For the milk I put it into the microwave for 30 seconds get the chill off and then steam it. Overall I highly recommend this coffee machine

Grab a funnel

All in all it’s a great coffee maker. Filling the main water tank is a bit of a challenge without making a bit of a mess, I’ve resorted to using a funnel. The steamer is neat, but I’ve yet to froth/steam the milk without making a huge mess— and it just turns out as hot milk.

Some components are poorly designed

I’ve had this machine for a while now. I love almost everything about it. First, it has no off function for the regular drip coffee and (the most irritating) I have broke numerous coffee mugs with the Kcup/espresso side. The udjustable shelf is poorly designed and cannot hold the weight of a mug with all the vibration when in use.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Coffee CenterĀ® Barista Bar 4‑in‑1 Coffee Maker, and we’re glad to hear you’re enjoying many of its features. We’re sorry to learn about the concerns with the drip side power settings and the adjustable shelf on the single‑serve side; removing or lowering the shelf, using a lighter mug, and ensuring the cup is centered and fully supported can help reduce vibration during brewing, and our Consumer Assistance Center can review safe setup and design options with you. Please contact us at 1‑800‑726‑0190 so our team can assist further. Thank you—we truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us make improvements to future models.

Great coffee and espresso in the perfect size!

Perfect all around coffee maker/espresso machine. We came back from 3 weeks in Italy and I wanted to have the occasional espresso. Or kitchen has limited counter space so separate units were out of the question. The 4 in 1 works great for us! Easy setup and makes great coffee.

Raise it up!

I actually love the coffee maker, but the only reason I gave it a 4star rating is because of the steam wand being too low. I had to purchase a board for raising the machine just enough to not have to struggle with spilling the hot water from the cup that is filled by the steam wand

Could be great, but cheaply made & poorly executed

This coffee machine has all the bells and whistles you could need: drip for any size, K cup, espresso and hot water / frother. Unfortunately, it performs all of those tasks below average. The coffee is not very good from this machine and the espresso is weak, with a poor crema. It is not worth the price. To add to it, there a couple poor executions. The frother doesn’t lift high enough for you to use a real glass, so you would have to dump the water or milk on the counter to get it out. And the water reservoir for the drip coffee is designed to poor from the carafe as if you were standing behind the machine, which of course you will never be. So from the front, expect to twist and turn your hand into weird angles, spill all over and still not be able to get the last 2 ounces of water out of the carafe and into the reservoir. In theory, this machine is wonderful. It’s just cheaply made and poorly executed. I returned it and found a machine I absolutely love that is much cheaper.

Good coffee maker but has some drawbacks.

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.

Excellent coffee maker

I love the visionary 4-1 as it is so versatile. The coffee comes out hot and I can brew fresh coffee as well as use a keurig pod or a nepresso pod. Plus I can make latte and cappuccino with the frother. It’s easy to set up and it looks easy to clean and maintain. I’d recommend purchasing this unit over the other units available in the market.

Steam wand design improvement

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.
