When my Keurig stopped working, I wanted to try something new.  I have always loved Cuisinart coffee makers ( I use a standard cuisinart drip pot at my second home) and loved the idea of being able to have the option of cappuccino, espresso, drip and single serve all in one location.  This coffee station is a breeze!  I have used all of its functions and am very happy with its ease of use!  The coffee tastes great also.  So glad I ordered this product!
