It is all I am looking for with a coffee system, but only adjustment I would recommend would be to make the single cup tray adjustable to fit different sized mugs. There is only 1 setting to adjust for smaller mugs or espresso cups, but most of my mugs ( I like oversized mugs) do not fit with the shorter shelf. I wish there were more levels in making a custom adjustment for the size cup/ mug you wish to use to keep the splashing to a minimum. Also, add a 12oz option :) Noticed that the single serve k-cup side does not like the eco pods (kauai coffee, chock full of nuts, etc), that have the less plastic cups. It didn't seem to want to work with these types of pods--was overflowing inside the brewing area instead of going through the pod into the dispenser cup below. If Cuisinart can make these adjustments; I would love to be upgraded --surprise me and ship it to me!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Like that it holds a lot of water in the reservoir and the 3 different ways to make coffee. BUT, the coffee from the K cup and Nespresso maker does not come out nearly hot enough. It is only about 158 F and literally cools off soon as it goes into a mug. You have to pre warm a cup if you want it to be hot. Also, the hot water maker barely comes out. It fills terribly slow. I just turn the knob to the K cup setting and use that without a K cup and it works great to make tea. Still barely above warm tea though. Also, it is ridiculously SLOW to make a Nespresso or K cup coffee. The Keurig is always ready and warm, this thing needs to heat it up first and then it gets going. Someone dropped the ball on this one.
My Keurig made 192 F water and was great. If Keurig makes one with all these options of this 4 in 1 maker, I will definitely toss this one out and get one that makes HOT coffee.
The carafe makes it hot enough though.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am very happy with the 4 in 1 coffee pot- it makes delicious brewed coffee for me - fancy espresso drinks for my daughter and decaf pods for my husband -

Excellent coffee maker but doesn't steam the milk hot enough. Everything else is great- hot coffee, Keurig coffee, and Nespresso pod coffee. It's nice to have only one machine on the kitchen counter. There's a learning curve to using it and there are You Tube videos that are easier to understand then the manual. For the milk I put it into the microwave for 30 seconds get the chill off and then steam it. Overall I highly recommend this coffee machine

Coffee tastes wonderful again! I think the charcoal water filter really helps the coffee taste so much better. It is not bitter and has a smooth deep flavor!
