[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the best machines (so far) on the market. It takes K cups without fuss, Nespresso pods and ground coffee. It heats up fast too. Water tank a bit of a pain to fill as it is shallow - front to back - so if you have it on your kitchen counter under an overhead cabinet, you have to pull the machine out to fill, or remove the tank to bring to the sink. My wife would like a 12 oz option on the k-cups, but does OK with two presses on the 6 oz setting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm happy to have purchased this product. I needed to replace my old Keurig single cup brewer for a better functional one.
One thing to note. This product doesn't heat up as much as my Keurig. Overall, 4 in one function is better than just one. Loving it so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The coffee maker is amazing due to it’s multiple functions, price, and features. It’s easy to use and I enjoy brewing coffee different ways.

Second Day - Single Serve Functions QUIT Working
on May 20, 2025

Gender:Female
I wanted to love this. Received as a Mother's Day gift. Faulty design of on/off knob. Does not switch between full pot carafe (left side) and single serve functions (right side). Second day, single serve side totally QUIT working. Could rotate the knob to see the functions, but when I pressed the knob, the power would not come on. Wanted to exchange for an exact replacement. Have loved my other Cuisinart coffee makers. Have used them for years. This model needed more thorough testing before bringing to market.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works great sometimes

I love this thing all the different options is great but lately if I go to brew a pot of coffee at 3:30am when I have to leave for work sometimes it doesn’t go through with the process. It beeps like it’s ready but only brewed 3 ounces not the 12 I put in there the night before. It’s annoying to have to keep hitting brew so early in the morning to get a full pot.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Have not had the Coffee Center long enough to rate it all features. For what it's worth:
Pros: It does keep coffee hot for three hours. Will it keep coffee hot for 4? Remains to be seen. Note that the kitchen (and me) are at 7300'. Would love to have hot coffee stay hot for more than the first five minutes out of the pot.
It makes good enough coffee on 'bold'; it is barely drinkable otherwise.
Cons: It is difficult to see the fill line so we just add four cups of water (32oz). Seems to work.
It is difficult for someone under 5'3' to reach the fill portal without spills.
Likely the instruction booklet could be more explicit by listing the steps to turn on the coffee maker AND to turn it off.
Not a problem for me, but it is noisy.

I plan to try additional features, particularly the milk frother, someday soon.
