Pros: 1) Fill indicator for full pot brewing 2) Beep notification when pot is done brewing 3) Single cup brewing offers different brew amounts 4) Single cup brewing is FAST
Cons: 1) No fill indicator on single cup reservoir 2) Water reservoir opening for pot brewing is relatively small, so you have to be exact when adding water.
We previously had another brand of 'dual' coffeemaker which lasted us for several years, it finally gave out and we were in the market for a replacement. The Cuisinart brand is reputable and we expect to use this appliance for many years to come. It is definitely an improvement over our previous coffee maker.
I love the double option of preparing a whole pot of coffee or only one cup. I did buy reusable pod to grind my own coffee instead of buying one use pods. I recommend it. And I also like that I don´t need to buy paper filters. The reusable filter that comes with it works perfect.
We love the brewer and the single cup features. There are a ton of features like the 4 hour auto off; my wife and I wake up a different times but this allows for the coffee to remain hot for her. Great machine!
Love love this coffee brewer. So convenient to program the night before and have your coffee ready to start your day. Also the single cup side is wonderful since my husband drinks regular and I drink decaf. Recommend it highly.
Great equipment, easy to clean, and love the options. It feels silly to say it's complicated to work but I had to read the instructions multiple times to make sure I hit buttons in the right order -- now that I figured out how to use it, it's great!
