I absolutely LOVE this new Cuisinart 2 in 1 Coffeemaker. The reviews on the previous version were not very good, but they have come out with an updated- improved version. It works great. I love the options for making full carafes or just single cups, plus the feature of being able to brew over ice. Such versatility. I am replacing an older Cuisinart with this model. I went back to my Cuisinart when my Keurig quit working. Cuisinart brewers make delicious coffee, so, when I realized I could have one machine with both features, I decided to order this NEWER version- the one with the single k-cup part on the left and the carafe part on the right.This configuration makes it easier to fill the carafe side. I am so glad improvements were made and I am glad I purchased the 2 in 1 Cuisinart.
