The coffee is great, don't get me wrong. However, having switched from a Cuisinart Grind & Brew with the hopper, this one has multiple design flaws. The water tank for the carafe side is awkward to fill (don't get the grinder wet!), the grinder is hard to clean and requires bean filling each time, the water tank for the pod side needs a hinge on the lid and a gauge to see fill level easier. Overall, makes amazing coffee and I'm using it, but there is a lot left to be desired in the ease of use category.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very disappointed…the water reservoir on the single serve side of it, it’s so difficult to see the water level. I think the single serve side should have been clear, to indicate the water level.I have to stand on my tip toes to fill it. A couple of time I over filled and it was all over the counter. Cheaply made for cuisinart

Attractive and doesn't take up too much counter space. Brews excellent coffee and is easy to clean. Pod side is convenient for that extra cup or my wife who drinks decaf.

I like my coffee maker, but can't give it a 5. It is hard to find a product with all the features you want. I love the ability to grind fresh beans or in a rush to use the K-cup side. Cons - very tall so to access the top to load you have to pull in forward. Because you can only grind and brew what you need, you have to pull it out daily to load. Need a water and bean reservoir. K-cup side, water reservoir, needs to be clear so you know when you are getting low on water. Grinder gets a lot of condensation so coffee grind stick to the inside of the chamber. This requires the chamber to be cleaned frequently. When you remove the grinder to clean and air dry a light blinks till you reassemble it. Very annoying since I like to leave it out to dry.

I love the fact I can make a whole pot or just one cup with the pod and I thought the grinder would be an added bonus since I buy whole beans. The grinder is a disappointment. It gets moisture inside and a lot of the ground coffee is stuck in the grinder. I would recommend the model without the grinder. Not worth it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
