Poor Design

I bought this a few weeks ago and while I really like the ability to do single serve coffee with the single serve pods, I am overall disappointed in this product. The thermal carafe is very hard to clean and difficult to pour from. It is also challenging to fill the water reservoir without spilling due to the design. I would return if I could.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love cuisinart products, but after many years of buying cuisinart coffee makers i was hoping they could figure out how to make HOT coffee, that's the only disappointment

Good all in one solution to replace my prior Keurig duo (Single and Carafe) coffee maker and 15 + year old Nespresso Original pod maker plus separate milk frother and this Carafe is regular sized as opposed to my old Keurig Carafe which was smaller than regular sized ones. Like the Swiss Army Knife for pour coffee, espresso, keurig pods and milk frothing. One machine replaced 3 separate ones on my counter and although it’s not super small it still saves me much needed counter space. Plus going back to a drip coffee maker allows me to grind coffee beans for fresher coffee and a full carafe for group dinners, can once again serve a a group of friends coffee, at the same time. The only drawback thus far is that the single serve water pour which my wife uses is slower than her old standard Keurig pour so plan an extra minute for those busy mornings when you need to rush out to work. Great for no frills, true old school standard coffee drinkers, not social media home “Baristas”.

I was so excited to find a machine that made a pot of coffee, a kcup when I only need one and espresso!! I think when you do too many things , something always lacks. The coffee was never hot enough, and did not stay warm for more than 40 minutes even with the stainless carafe . Trying to program it was was so confusing!it was absolutely not user friendly. Never could figure out why it went on some mornings and others it didn’t! The reason I returned it was that when using the espresso pods, and yes we tried many brands , it EXPLODED!! Hot water shot out!! Dangerous to say the least. When I got burned - it went back!

We’ve had it a month and love it so far. I wish it had small rollers on the bottom that could be released for filling the reservoir but other thank that it is working great. We love the options for espresso, k cups, and pots of coffee. although we’ve only used it twice, the steamer/frother worked fine. (The steaming stem doesn’t flex out very far but it worked with a little maneuvering.)
