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.

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.

I love that I can have boiled water (which I use to warm my coffee cup!), I can have espresso drinks, make a quick keurig, or a pot. So far, it's been super easy (we've had it a month) and use it every day. I'm super satisfied. I will say, my husband was skeptical because he does not like change, but he's convinced too.

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!

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.

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.

This stylish machine replaced two separate coffeemakers on my kitchen counters! I can choose an express brew one cup at a time or drip style brewed into the caraif to share with others! Oh yes, and steamed milk for that extra touch!

Long-time brand loyal customer of Cuisinart products so I knew this Barista Bar was worth it to purchase. Easy to use and as usual, a great Cuisinart item.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Idk who has been designing coffee makers lately but from the Ninjas poorly designed lip on their pots to this one not having a lid that opens all the way to properly pour water into for brewing a pot without spilling all over your filter and counter just baffles me at the poorly thought out approach to design.
