Good basic coffee maker

I've had this for about 6 months now and have used both the coffee maker side and the espresso options. No issues with any pods. The 2 things that are issues are the temperature of the coffee is not hot enough and the frother is not good at all. No matter how clean I keep it, it always smells like mildew. Also the frothing itself is not very good.

This machine does everything it says it’s going to do. But if it had a couple of tweaks, it would be even better. For example, the steam wand is a little long, which makes it difficult to get the cup under for frying milk. Also, it would be nice if it were a little taller to have larger size travel mugs fit into the space. What I typically do is put a couple of regular mugs on the machine and then pour them into my larger travel mugs. But from a coffee making perspectives, the machine is excellent.

I just purchased the Cuisinart CoffeeCenter Barista Bar 4-in-1 CoffeeMaker. This is oneofthe best coffeemakers I have owned. The coffee has a wonderful taste and although I have had limited use with the steamer/frother, it seems to work really well. I'm sure I will get better with experience. I am a true coffee lover and this coffee maker is really an excellent product,whether you're brewing a full pot, one cup, an Espresso,or a latte.

I am so happy with this gift! It replaced multiple small appliances and now I have more counter space! LOVE that I can make pods, espresso pods, steam milk, get hot water, AND brew a whole pot. So versatile! It’s also very easy to use!

Unfortunately the single cup takes twice as long as our previous kcup device to brew a single cup of coffee or tea. The unit also vibrates loudly on our kitchen counter, loud enough to wake my wife up In addition, the coffee dispenser leaks when I attempt to pour a cup of coffee prior to the end of the brewing process

Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how the longer brew time, vibration, and leaking can be frustrating during daily use. Ensuring the unit is on a stable surface and waiting until brewing completes before pouring can help reduce spills and noise, though we know that may not fully resolve the issues.
