Customer Reviews for Cuisinart - Coffee Center Brew Basics Single Serve Coffee Maker - Black

I see a couple of design flaws in this coffee maker. First and foremost - apparently once you set the multi cup drip you are stuck with that option. Tried resetting, but still cannot move to the single cup option. Have turned the coffee maker off, unplugged it and left it unplugged for 30 minutes and still not able to use the single cup option, Second, the lid to the water reservoir has to be propped open for the moisture to evaporate after use. Don’t think I would buy this product again. Disappointing because I had a Cruisinart prior this and loved it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The brewer for the twelve cup is great. I am very disappointed with the single cup. It spits all over and the cup ends up with grounds in the coffee and grounds all over the inside. Not usable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

No light on the display. There’s also no way to know how much water is in the single serve side
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Returned. Would not make a single serve. The brew carafe would not switch.

Its nice but it would be better if it had a 4oz or 6oz setting. I didn't realize it did not have the smaller setting for single serve until after i bought it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was so excited to get this. I have worked in the restaurant industry for most of my adult life and Cuisinart has always been a high standard. And since my husband and I have different needs for coffeee(he can drink from the pot all day or will make a thermos for work, I prefer one cup at a time), this coffee machine seemed like the perfect compromise for both carafe and k-cup. I shopped around extensively before settling on this model and was super excited when it was delivered. But I have to say that after using this for several weeks, we are HUGELY disappointed. I was already concerned about the apparent lack of quality in the design(it is VERY lightweight and almost completely plastic) as I was used to Cuisinart products being very heavy duty, but the name is synonymous with quality so we tried not to let that deter our enthusiasm. However, after using this for several weeks, we are sure we will never purchase another Cuisinart coffee machine. The paint on the burner is already peeling off, and the plastic around the plate is warping/melting from the heat. The cover for the section where you pour the water in for the pod coffee dispenser section is also already warped. That section also has no way to see the water level(whereas the carafe side does) so I have to keep a measuring cup near the machine to measure and replace exactly the same amount of water that I dispense when using the K-cups, or it will overflow and leak everywhere. It is very sad for us that the quality of Cuisinart products has taken such a downward turn. I will upload pictures later as I am filling this out from work and did not take any yet...look for updates as soon as I am able.

The coffee is good, and that's good. But there are some issues that we haven't resolved: The issues we have had:
1. the height of the appliance...too tall to use under our wall cabinets and it must be pulled out every time it's used. That's ok in most kitchens, which have an open counter near an outlet, but it is not good in our very compact one.
2. the fact that it never dries out inside, yuck
3. the teeny one-mug size water reservoir for the k-cup side. I wish one larger reservoir served both carafe and k-cup. Also the k-cup side reservoir lid is easy to misplace.
4. The buttons are not self-explanatory and the placement of the buttons makes them hard to read in our kitchen's lighting (my elderly husband's pet peeve)
