I love all the options! We've had this coffeemaker for a couple of months now and we love that we have so many options with brewing an entire pot, using a single pod or making espresso.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great to have 3 options in one machine. Design of lid to fill pot reservoir is terrible. Very hard to fill. Design of steam wand is terrible. Too close to machine makes it hard to use. Have to slide machine neatly off counter to be able to get steam cup in and out. No shortage of feedback to Cuisinart on these items. Fix those and it will be 5 stars easily.

Good pot of coffee but sub-standard single serving

I have had a Cuisinart coffee maker for as long as I can remember and have always been pleased. In an effort to conserve counter space by purchasing a new coffee maker that not only brews a pot but is also capable of brewing a single serving using a K-Cup or Nespresso pod, I thought I had found the best solution. Unfortunately, the espresso did not reach a high enough temperature, requiring a quick spin in the microwave. For such an expensive small appliance this should not be necessary. The machine brewed a very good pot of coffee but the Nespresso feature fell way below our expectations. We are returning this item. This is our second purchase of the same unit since the first had a defective clock as well as the low temperature of the Nespresso.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I like the machine. Sometimes the single serve coffee or nespresso side will not make coffe correctly and get water everywhere. I like the milk frother, and other features

The coffee maker had 2 different issues. First the pod bottom did not work. Second the steamer did not shut off.

I love all the features of this 4-in-1! Granted, I’ve only used the brewing portion, but the steamer and single pod side for espresso or k-cups is ingenious. I will say the carafe would be better if the top just hinged open instead of having to snap it off, and because the water reservoir lid only opens 90 degrees, it can be tricky to pour water in there from the carafe without spilling. I don’t use the faucet hose like many do I use filtered water.

Reviewing my replacement, the pod side works when it wants to. Had the 1st one replaced because I wasn't able to get the pod side to make much more than light brown colored water. The replacement is slightly better in that it sometimes makes an actual cup of coffee, it might be on the 4th attempt/pod, but better than nothing I guess. Tried the full pot side twice and it seems to work fine. Tried the expresso pod a couple of times and it seems to work ok, although the expresso shot didn't seem very hot but I'm not sure if that's normal. The pod side just like the first unit, the water pretty much goes around the pod and makes a mess. Even in the random time it works I'm not sure how because when taking the done pod out you have to be careful because the pod is full to the top with hot water. The punctured holes in the pod seem sufficient enough for water to pass through so I think it's a design flaw. I don't have time in the early morning to fuss with it so I put it back in the box and brought up my old Cuisinart machines that work great. Kinda bummed because this unit would free up space on the counter.
