First and foremost, this all-in-one coffee maker offers so many options that one MUST read the instructions to understand what does what. We’re still trying to figure out how to get the ‘clean’ notice to clear despite cleaning everything. Likewise, it took us trial and error to get the espresso pod function to work. The single cup pod dispenser is louder and takes longer to brew than its competition, but still makes a good cup.

Regardless, the Cuisinart Coffee Center delivers all of the possible coffee options one would hope for. The functions take a while to get used to, but are intuitive once you understand the system. 

Despite a few setbacks, the Cuisinart is a robust coffee maker that delivers a great cup of coffee however you’d like.
