   Worst coffee brewer I’ve owned. When I use k cups it rips the top and the coffee grounds and water spill all over the place. See photo . I’ve read all the instructions and done as specified. We tried the coffee pot today with the gold basket and there were grounds in the coffee pot as well. Will not be buying a Cuisinart product again. Company sent me a new coffee pot. Very pleased with the replacement. Good customer service!

   Looks great and works exceptionally well except the milk frother is lame, very lame. In the instruction booklet, you state to fill the reservoir. I only saw the one in back of the unit. I had to call your help desk to help me find where to place water to make a full pot of coffee. I should have watched the videos on YouTube.

   We are really happy with this coffee machine. It checks all of our boxes (features desired , price, ease of use) . I like easy and the buttons are simple. I like the idea of the carafe but the option of using a pod. I also bought (not included) an empty pod to fill with own coffee when I am in a hurry. The steamer works good to heat and froth up drinks. I love the option of the hot water as well (also a tea drinker)! We have not used Espresso feature. It is a nice size and not too clunky. Enjoy!

   We have been using the machine for a few days now. So far, we have been having so much fun making our own fancy coffee drinks. We have it sitting on a sliding bamboo tray that we also bought on cuisinartoutlets.com. That makes it easier to roll it forward to remove the water tank and lifts the machine slightly so we can more easily get a milk pitcher under the steamer nozzle. Then today, the lid got stuck! I had seen a few reviews complaining about this happening but no one ever said how they fixed it. We tried running several Nespresso cycles and nothing was happening. The machine made noises like it was brewing and beeped at the end but no water ever came out. What ended up working was running a k-cup cycle and then a Nespresso cycle. We let it sit for a couple of minutes and it suddenly made a hissing noise and released the pressure. Then we were able to open the lid as normal. It could have been the pod (it was a Peet’s coffee branded Nespresso compatible pod) We’ll stick to only Nespresso line pods from now on. Hope this helps someone else!

   Once I got through the instructions and figured out exactly how it works, my husband and I both love it. It took patience and time. You just have to know that it has to be on brew(knob has to click) to set the clock. (The brew setting didn’t quite line up to the mark on dial; hence feeling the click). The Auto off is in 1, 2, 3, or 4 hours. (That confused us at first). The top buttons are for the 12 cup process. The bottom button is for the one cup. The signals are on inner timers; they will eventually shut off accordingly. We love the notification when water is low. (I purchased the discounted option; so it was missing a filter; I just called the manufacturer and they sent the missing item). I ordered a reusable pod set separately. Just have patience and take the time to get it all figured out.. In the end, after completing the setup and getting a rolling tray; we’re fully satisfied!!

   La caja llegó intacta y muy rápido. La cafetera es un sueño, puedes preparar todos los diferentes tipos de cafés en una sola cafetera. Usa cápsulas Nespreso y keuring . La verdad me encanto!

   Purchased end of July 2023. After 2-1/2 months of almost everyday usage, we’re pleased with this “all-in-one-coffee-machine” despite of some poorly engineered designs. See photo provided. You will have this experience. We had a regular cuisinart coffee maker we purchased in 2017. We had the same problem with this condensation. We got rid of that coffee machine and replaced it with Moccamaster. Unfortunately, Moccamaster finally met it’s demise early 2023. We wanted to replace it with a coffee machine that can make brew regular coffee, espresso and K-cups. We were also looking at one of Ninja’s model, however, we took a chance with this so-called high-end cuisinart coffee machine even though we were worried about the condensation problem we had with our previous cuisinart coffee maker. Cuisinart definitely need to re-engineer their coffee maker. They should start with making it easier to fill the water reservoir without spilling water everywhere. They also need to figure out how minimize the condensation problem. The Moccamaster we had never had problems with condensation. It was also easy to fill water in the reservoir. Despite of Cuisinart’s shortcomings, we still recommend this coffee machine.

   We were Ninja users for the past few years, and I went through lemon after lemon with them. So when the 3rd one in a year decided to kick it, I decided to research to find out what I should replace it with. I wanted something that does a pot of coffee, and lattes and doesn’t break within 6 months. We haven’t had it 6 months yet, but I’m writing a review anyway because it is so much better than the Ninja, it isn’t even comparable. The BOLD feature for brewing coffee makes the best pot of coffee I have ever made at home. People are complimenting the coffee and wondering what we are doing to make it so good. We use pre-ground Starbucks and filtered water: nothing special, but the results with the BOLD feature are fresh and tasty. It took some time to learn how to use it, but I love my machine! Hopefully, it will last for years!

    This coffee maker makes all sorts of coffee drinks, including but not limited to, regular craft, K-cup and expresso cups. This machine also lets you know when to clean it, has all the appointments such as a steamer, various size cups, timer and a beautiful clock. I would recommend this coffee machine to anyone who wants to enjoy a great coffee experience without all the fuss and

    I know this is mid-range in cost, but I expect more. Starting with what I see as design flaws. It is very hard tell if there is coffee already made in the carafe. (see photos). The water reservoir is in the rear of the coffeemaker which makes it difficult to be able to empty a full carafe of water into the reservoir for drip coffee. To add water for espresso or k-cup serving the water reservoir is in the back of the machine so you must pull it out from the wall to access the reservoir. There is no way to turn the machine off once coffee is made and the carafe is emptied. Not until it reaches its full warming cycle and then it automatically shuts off. This seems like it could cause carafes to burn or scorch as they are left on warming plate empty. The temperature of the coffee is not very hot, and cools down far too fast (cools down to barely lukewarm after a few sips) which says it wasnt very hot to start. Finally the motor on the espresso part of coffeemaker is unbelievably loud when making espresso. (listen to video) I kept it for a week and tried to like it or get used to it, but it only frustrates me. So I am now back to the drawing board to find a decent coffee/k-cup/espresso maker 🙁 Right now to have a coffeemaker that combines drip coffee, espresso and k-cups it appears that there are only two choices on the market at this time, this one and the Ninja.

    This has been a WONDERFUL addition to my kitchen! Want a cup of soup from a soup mix? Use the instant hot water dispenser. (Which also steams milk, etc. with a turn of the button.) Want a quick cup of pick-me-up espresso? Use the single serve function and your choice of Nespresso originals. Want to brew a cup of tea with those tasty loose teas in your cupboard that you never brew because you don’t want to have to clean the tea strainer? Use a Fanativita Disposable Coffee Filter for K-Carafe with a Cuisinart SS-RFC HomeBarista Reusable Filter Cup and all you’ll do is pull the biodegradable/compostable paper filter out and toss it or recycle. I highly recommend this Barista system and also the two other products I mention above. They will add pleasure and convenience to your daily routine. By the way, my husband just loves that he can have hot cocoa any morning he wants it….even if we’re out of milk. 🙂 (I also got the delicious Starbucks hot cocoa K-Cup Pods.) Little treats to share and enjoy can make your day!
