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.

After reading a lot of poor reviews, I decided to purchase it anyways. My findings are as follows: I find the controls easy to use. I have not found coffee grounds in my coffee as some reviews have indicated. I have not found coffee missing or squirting outside the cup as other reviews have found. The only negative that I have found after using this pot for about a month now is it is very difficult to pour water into the reservoir for the coffee maker using the pot without it spilling all over. My solution and it is not perfect, but I've been using a measuring cup, it's less messy. Otherwise, I would give it a five star.

I really like the ability this machine has to produce great coffee, with three distinct methods. I haven't used the frother yet, but I like the hot water swinging pipe for tea. Overall, a great level of coffee possibilities in a singular well designed machine.

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.

I love my Barista 4 in 1! It's allowed me to kick my coffee shop habit because now I can brew a pot, a single cup, or make myself a latte with the same machine. I love the convenience of being able to use Kcups, Nespresso pods, or my own coffee. It brews quickly, the pot pours with no mess, and it's easy to clean. My only wishes are a bigger area to pour water in when you're making a pot of coffee/ the lid opened more on that side of the machine and a longer steaming wand.

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.

Trusting the Cuisinart name, we purchased this coffee center bc we love drip coffee but wanted the flexibility of a K-cup. (We previously had a different brand that offered both but we went through 3 machines in 6 years and were fed up with that brand). The fact that this also allows NESPRESSO PODS?!? Heavenly. In fact, since I like my coffee stronger than my husband, I've started brewing an espresso and adding coffee to it for that extra punch. I like the 4 hour warming plate capability since I'm usually awake 2-3 hours before my husband. Also of note, is the large reservoir for single cup brewing. I honestly couldn't be more pleased with this machine for now. Hopefully it will serve us for many years. 🤞 This machine comes with quick start instructions and detailed instructions and as long as you take the time to read them, you will have no problem using this. I saw a review where someone said it was “like a piece of furniture “ on their counter but really, look at any high quality, espresso or multi-function coffee machine and it's the same or smaller than those. I would and have recommended this to friends.

I love Cuisinart products. I love their stand mixer (I purchased the Kitchen Aide for my boyfriend and I like my Cuisinart better!!!), my Toaster/Convection Oven and now my 4 in 1 coffee maker. It makes GREAT espresso, cappuccino and regular coffee. I LOVE that it uses Nespresso, Keurig and regular coffee to brew. I have saved a lot of money brewing my own coffee at home since I purchased this item. The espresso just smells amazing. Loud, but awesome. LOVE IT!!!!!

I already owe a Keurig machine, but I bought this one both as a backup and because it also brews large pots, thus removing the tedium of running multiple single-serve cycles with the Keurig. The expresso function was an extra plus, but soon became my favorite. I've lived in Italy, and using the Nespresso pods, this machine does a very acceptable job of duplicating the quality of expresso that I enjoyed there. I've also used the steam function a few times. I expect that it will produce the quality of frothed milk that that I experienced in Italy, but I'm still learning how to use it properly. So far, the machine has given great joy to this coffee fanatic.

So far, the machine has been good to use! being the 4 in 1, i thought the 4th feature was a coffee grinder, but it is the wand for milk frothing. not a big deal. i didn't realize how large the machine is. it takes up a lot of counter space. the other issue we found was with the filter to the water tank for the single serve side of the machine - the kcups and the nespresso pods. we made coffee suing a kcup no problem. but when we tried to the nespresso function. the machine whirled as if it was working, and nothing. super stressed out, i went on youtube, and found that the filter actually covers the area of the water tank where the water flows out, and restricts the water flow. makes sense in theory, but in practice, this was engineered poorly. in removing the filter, we were up and running without issue. The drip coffee side has its own water tank and water filter. there was no issue using that side. i realy like how futuristic the controls are. there was a bit of a learning curve, but easy to learn and run. i found some kcups on clearance and have been enjoying my daily coffee with this machine for over a month now and it works perfectly every time.
