Cuisinart – CoffeeCenter 12-Cup Coffee Maker Barista Bar 4-In-1 Coffeemaker – Black

Makes great coffee, I haven’t had one. That’s easy to use like this one

Amazing! We are fairly new to coffee drinking. We’ve had 2 previous coffee makers and didn’t really think there was a difference in taste. Boy were we wrong. We are using the same coffee, but this coffee pot brews the coffee to taste much better. We love that we can now do the nespresso pods AND the Kcup pods. The milk steamer is awesome, you just have to get in the habit of wiping it off after each use or it gets sticky. The hot water wand is fabulous and heats up very quickly. It makes Kcups and nespresso cups very quickly. Much faster than our old machine. I love having the resevoir on the back with water to make hot chocolate, tea or a kcup. I would say my only complaint is what others have said when I read reviews, that the hot water wand/milk steamer isn’t designed properly. You do have to move the machine to the edge of the counter to properly get the cup out without spilling it everywhere. We just ordered a butcher block for underneath to prop it up on the counter, so hopefully that will solve that issue. Otherwise this thing is absolutely perfection! One other thing. You absolutely DO have to run each section throught the cleaning process before it will work. It was in the instructions, but like normal people we didn’t read it at first. 🙂

A great coffee maker that does everything – drip, k-cups, and nespresso! Plus the frother to make lattes and cappuccinos. Easy to use and it looks great on the counter.

I was excited to have a coffee maker that did ao many options but it doesnt do any of the options well. There are grounds when you use the carafe, the K-cup setting doesn’t fill the cups correxrly so you don’t get the full flavor of the coffee and dont think about using a hot chocolate cup. It leaves 3/4 of it in the cup because it doesn’t fill the cup correcrly. It does do the espresso well. The frother nozzle needs to be adjustable other than side to side but it works fine. It’s odd that if you want hot water, it comes out of the frother and not the K-cup sextion. But it makes coffee. I would not buy it again but given the price, I’ll be using it for a while to justify buying it this time.

The only thing I don’t like is the water reservoir is on the left side so it’s awkward for right handed people to refill.

This is a very nice coffee maker. Better than the Keurig plus the option of brewing a pot. User friendly.

It’s got everything I need. Single serve, carafe for company and it can make expresso’s.

The only problem with this is the fill up is small but everything else makes up for it not a big dill

I purchased this coffee maker to replace my Keurig and in hopes of having a Nespresso type of coffee maker. I loved the concept of this coffee maker. We had the coffee maker for exactly three days before the Nespresso type pod coffee maker stopped working. I called Cuisinart customer service they initially asked if I descaled the the machine yet?!
1. The coffee maker is 3 days out of the box
2. We only used filtered water in our coffee maker.
They told me they would send a replacement part, the very next day the milk steamer stopped working, it would sputter but not get hot.
The long and the short of it is, we have returned the coffee maker and are waiting on a replacement.
There is, however, no follow up with customer service. They do not replace the coffee maker until they receive the original unit, I guess at over 300.00 a piece, that makes sense. It took them 48 hours to send me any type of email with a return label on it to be able to return the original coffee maker.
Hopefully the replacement, whenever it arrives…will work. But had I known what a disaster this was going to be, I would have NEVER purchased this coffee maker. I would have just bought the Nespresso that was on sale and stuck with my original Keurig that I donated….

Fantastic Coffee Brewing station. Love the flexibility and options for brewing throughout the day.

This is a good value for the options. By being able to make pot coffee for when we’re hosting guests to single serve pods and espresso capsules for individual cups. I was a loyal french press user for years but this unit has all the flexibility and makes a great cup of coffee regardless of format.

The only thing I wish were different is the carafe being glass and not stainless steel as I prefer.

My review isn’t complete – I only unboxed the Coffee pot and placed it on our counter. The way the fill area was designed made the machine too tall to sit in our preferred location and remain usable.

Coffee pot is nice
The Best Buy price match policy is a joke especially when it comes to matching their OWN price
We bought this 2 days before Black Friday
On Black Friday it went done $37 in price !
When I called Best Buy customer service she told me they will credit me the $37 difference. Price match it
When I called back 2 month later after not getting that credit and no communication as to why, I was told it was because I used a $15 rewards certificate?!?! Yet rewards are to be used for any purchase !,
I told the rep it makes no sense ….why would I use a $15 certificate if I would lose the ability to get $37 off since it was on sale?!,
She apologized. What ???? She just apologized and quoted me the “policy”. Which is why I say the policy is a joke
I should have returned it, then bought it again at the sale price and then used the rewards certificate. I was going to do that but figured I could work with Best Buy on this over the phone Guess not

Love this machine. Multiple ways to have coffee or hot drinks. Compact and sleek design looks good on counter.

It is a good product over all. Pro- steams the milk really hot, Con- It is really loud and the coffee brewer is slower than what I am use to

What is your preference, a pot of fresh coffee, a K cup or Espresso/Cappuccino this Coffee Center can do it. No need for different machines, this all in one coffee center has been a great addition to our coffee bar.

Excellent product that performs all 4 functions well. It brews an excellent pot of coffee, the single service feature is simple and the steamer/frother works well. This is my 3rd Cuisinart coffee maker over the last 20 years and I am well pleased.

Yup, replaced the roughly 17 year old Cuisinart with this newer machine that does other fancy coffee drinks, or yeah, it does pods too. Bought it for the coffee loving wife, and she is crazy happy with it.

Had to return it. Way to loud and the coffee maker itself didn’t work

Works great! Kinda loud but i don’t mind for good tasting coffee. The dial is a little easy to have a mishap with a guest not familiar with the coffee machine (picking hot water because the screen goes blank when not in use, everything go to move is to turn the dial to get the screen in & it picks hot water when it’s on pod brew in hibernate mode).

I really like this machine because it makes coffee using carafe, pods and nespresso pods, there’s also a hot water & steamer dispenser. I still need practice with the steaming but it’s not hard to do. The only downsides I’ve found so far is the holes to pour in water for a pot of coffee are really small so have to be precise and the carafe lip pours great, but doesn’t allow all the coffee to leave the carafe without removing the lid; definitely not a deal breaker. It is a bit expensive though.

The worst. I love cuisinart small appliances but this thing is terrible. After 1 week it now spits out hot water when I’m brewing a k cup. Where’s the coffee going? Can’t get the pot of coffee to brew at all. So strange.

Coffee is hot and easy to use! My concerning issue is that the plate to keep the coffee pot hot is already peeling! I only used the coffee pot a few times! Not worth the $300 price tag for that reason.
