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.

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 really like our new Barista coffee maker, most of the low ratings are due to users not familiar with the functions also the manual is not clear and seems to leave out some essential information. Once I experimented with the functionality, everything worked well. Everything is working well. We love ir so far. We have several cuisinart appliances. I will stick with them.

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.

This is the first combination coffee maker where I have been able to figure out and successfully operate all functions. The ability of the product to offer a pot of regular coffee and single servings using espresso capsules and K-pods is incredibly convenient and flexible. The milk frother works great, as well. I am so happy with this and anticipate saving a lot of money by drinking at home!

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.

I am pleased with the functionality and the versatility of the 4 in 1 Barista Bar. For a fraction of the cost of higher end machines, I can make regular coffee from pods, espresso drinks from pods, hot foamed milk, and a full pot of coffee from fresh grounds. It has lived up to my expectations.

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

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.

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.
