We have loved have the options to make espresso, single serve, or full pot for multiple occasions. Love those versatile features!
There are 3 manufacturer design choices that caused me to select 4 stars: 1) We can't find a way to restart the timer Warm on the brew pot. 2) Where is an Off button to stop the Warm for the brew pot? 3) The fill port for the water on the brew pot is very small compared to the carafe we have struggled to find a way to pour and not hit the port cover flap having to change angles multiple times.
In summary, if this was a cheaper device then I would full hearty five stars, but for the price there are a few basic 101 features missing.

We have made a carafe of coffee, multiple single serves and several espressos. We drink coffee a lot so we wear out coffee pots quicker than normal🤭 everything works wonderfully, so far, so good!

Just unboxed today and was excited to use it. Wow...kinda of confusing to have an On/Off button that doesn't actually turn it off? Really Cuisinart, the instructions keep say plug/unplug your machine. That cannot be the only way to turn it off??? Looking at reviews...NOW I see I'm not the only one. Likely returning this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We got this right after Christmas 2024. We are coffee drinkers, love the espresso feature! We make a lot of coffee, brews a really good cup of regular coffee. The frother works great, make sure you keep it really clean, it will get clogged and cause issues with the frothing. Can make a great iced coffee too, I have all sorts of flavored capsules, no longer go out and purchase expensive coffee drinks! Buy it!

We have had Cuisinart Coffee Makers for the past 20 years and love the simplicity of the design, ease of use, and the fact that our Cuisinart Coffee makers have always brewed a hot great tasting cup of coffee. Recently our 16 year old coffee maker and our 10 year old Nespresso Pixie were starting to leak. I wanted to replace the coffee maker with an updated version of our programmable 10 cup maker however the thought that we could have one appliance on the counter instead of two was appealing. The steam frothing function would be a bonus. Our new Cuisinart brews a great tasting hot cup of coffee. The Espresso function is good, not quite as hot as the Nespresso Machine but ok. We are trying to resolve the espresso issue by running the espresso function without a pod first to prepare/heat up the machine before making espresso. We have been using the machine for about two weeks and I think we will keep it, again I like having one appliance rather than two on the counter.

I love my coffee machine. I have always wanted one of these, and this one is amazing. Super easy to use. So many different options. I love that I can do all kinds of different things and can switch it up whenever I want. The froth machine is my favorite part and makes my morning coffee's taste and feel a little fancier than just a regular cup of joe.
