The Coffee Center is very well assembled and provides Hot and well measured coffee from the Pod side and makes a very good cup of coffee on the carafe side.
The Pod reservoir should be larger.  The reservoir is very handy and easy to fill. The Pod area could use a more leverage to allow easier closing of the Pod door.
Overall I am very happy with the Coffee Center and am happy to have purchased this Cuisiart item, I would recommend it over the competition.
