We are a coffee family and this unit works as advertised. We set it up on timer to produce a fresh pot every morning and use the single keurig pod at night. it has worked well.
This is our third Cuisinart Coffee Center we've owned and are pleased it added a grinder - making it the most flexible coffee center we've owned. We have always been pleased with previous coffee centers and look forward to many years of service from this one.
This coffee maker is the ultimate 3 in 1 combo. The grinder is a little loud toward the end, but what grinder isn't. Easy cleanup, the only drawback for me is that I wish the water reservoir for the K-cup would be bigger. That's the only reason it's not a 5-star rating. Other than that, it saves so much space on the countertop in the kitchen.
Certain K pods split in half instead of just piercing the center and it causes the grounds to go everywhere and will sometimes flood the single cup area.
