Design flaws otherwise decrease the overall value of a really good product. It is difficult to determine if the machine is turned on to brew. Then it is also difficult to know if the machine has been turned off by pushing the on/off button. Can't control how long the warner stay on. The steamer tube is clearly too long such that it is very difficult (dangerous) to remove a cup with hot liquid in it after using it to pour hot water/steam into it. The pod cup can be removed and a cup for regular ground coffee can be inserted instead of using expensive pods, but the manual does not explain this. But if you want a really good cup of coffee from the pot or single brew, it delivers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am thoroughly pleased with this machine. I like that I can make my K-cups and espresso. When my son and DIL are in town they use the frothing thing. My wife can also make her tea. I recommend it!

The Cuisinart 4N1 Barista is one of the most aestetically pleasing coffee machines on the market. It claims to prepare Ground coffee in a 12 cup carafe, k-cups, nespresso pods and also hot water for tea or hot chocolate. Its steamer is NOT a frother for cream, pick one up separately. It's heating plate under the carafe gets hot quickly and keeps your coffee hot for hours.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We love this coffee maker. From our morning pot of coffee to an after meal cup from a K cup or even a Carajillo as a nice nightcap this thing does it all. Even our daughter loves if as it is easy for her to use the hot water spout to make her some hot chocolate. Could not be happier with this coffee maker that does it all.
