Reviews around feature (4.13 of 5)

  • It looked to have everything someone would need, single cup and carafe capacity, nice features, good clean design.
  • Nice hot coffee, and has all the great programming features we wanted in a regular coffee maker
  • Like others reported, it has been slow to brew, and the keep warm feature works only so-so to render lukewarm coffee after about an hour in "keep warm" mode
  • The single cup side idea is great, and the flexibility that you can use your own ground coffee or buy K-cups is a nice feature.
  • The coffee isn't as hot as we would like on the single serve side either

Reviews around pot (4.04 of 5)

  • Very disappointed and I would suggest buying a pot for 40 dollars even if it breaks in 30 days.
  • I also like to use this to brew tea and k cup cocoa - perfect portioning and brewing instead of boiling a whole pot of water.
  • Its nice having the two coffee pots as one unit a real space saver, I have always use Cuisinart coffee makers, I drink a lot off coffee and tend to kill coffee pots quickly
  • I loved this coffee pot when I first got it on both occasions
  • She was always making a pot and wasting half of it or reheating old coffee.

Reviews around option (4.03 of 5)

  • n’t had any problem since I started doing that for over a year
  • I love having the option of just a cup or a full pot for Sunday mornings.
  • I love the option of making a pot of coffee or just a cup with the K-Cups.
  • After my second K-branded maker stopped working, I decided I didn't want to spend that much on another single-serve unit that also limited my coffee purchasing options.
  • I also love the option to make one cup if I am in a hurry or a full pot if it will be several people having coffee

Reviews around light (3.87 of 5)

  • The blue lights on the front of the machine are tacky and don't turn off even when the pot is not brewing or warming
  • Makes a good cup of coffee but the clean red light keeps coming on after 3 pots of coffee
  • Love the coffee pots abilities but the clean light has been on since day one regardless of what I do.
  • The cleaning light will not go off dispite multiple attempts to clean the product
  • Well first of all, if you set the brewer timer before you go to bed, the damn lights from the thing are very bright all night

  • You then insert the mini basket with your coffee and start the brewing cycle, no problem
  • We had our 1st coffee pot for about 3-4 months when kcups began exploding while brewing
  • Love the Auto brew also the fact that I can brew a one cup of coffee or
  • Whether it is fresh brewed or on a timer she still have to throw it in the microwave.2: The single brew is barely hot when it comes out
  • The grind and brew worked well, except the grinder attachment would get stuck, and after many years of use, the water resevoire would leak overnight, and the carafe would not keep the coffee hot

Reviews around cup (3.47 of 5)

  • It is not capable of heating the water for a single brew enough to make a good cup of coffee, although a full pot brew is very good
  • I like the fact I can have a cup of coffee in the afternoon without making a whole pot-
  • k-cup side is also doing strange things like exploding the inserted coffee cup every now and then and not working properly
  • The single cup spews coffee or whatever all over the place other than in the cup.
  • It brews about 1/4 cup of coffee, spews liquid all over the place, and grounds pour out of the top of the k-cup

Reviews around review (1.99 of 5)

  • The other reviews are right about the water resivoir being hard to get to
  • I will be sure to read the negative reviews carefully this time before purchasing
  • I received this Cuisinart SS-15 12-Cup Coffee Maker and Single-Serve Brewer, Stainless Steel free isn exchange for a honest review

Reviews around design (1.94 of 5)

  • Not only is the build quality similar to that of a fisher-price toy, the design is incredibly poor.

Reviews around pod (1.87 of 5)

  • Tonight, when my husband was trying to make a cup of coffee before he left for work; it exploded the pod like usual but it also leaked out ALL of the water from the reservoir all over the counter
  • Tonight, when my husband was trying to make a cup of coffee before he left for work; it exploded the pod like usual but it also leaked out ALL of the water from the reservoir all over the counter
  • Another thing I like is that a reusable high-quality gold filter is included as well as a reusable pod for using your favorite coffee on the single serve side.
  • This coffee pot is terrible on the K cup side: spews water, breaks the pod unevenly so grounds get everywhere, leaks water underneath the machine
  • Also a real joy in getting the hot pod out again after your coffee is brewed.

Reviews around plastic (1.83 of 5)

  • Just ok, This is an early review, very disappointed how flimsy plastic it is
  • I was attracted to this coffee maker for its ability to make a pot of coffee as well as to make individual servings.
  • coffee you can not buy other brands i like to be able to choose what i like and be forced to buy their brand only plus this Cuisinart now give me the chose if i want fresh brewed coffee instead of a single cup which is really not as strong as i like it
  • It looks high quality but in reality its all flimsy plastic, especially for the price
  • Honestly when you display on your counter top, I would expect a higher quality, at least a hard plastic

  • It leaks quite a bit of water every time we use it and it is frustrating
