I have been using my Cuisinart for a month, now. On a daily basis I use it three to four times. It has performed flawlessly. 

After reading that some complained about it leaking, I ensured that mine was initially on a paper towel. After repeated daily uses, the towel is completely dry and is no longer used. Be sure that the filter is well seated.

Some complained that the coffee grounds overflow and when the brew is complete the grounds have made a mess.  Be sure to SHAKE the Pod prior to inserting it.  The reason why it sometimes does this is because the coffee is compacted. Loose/porous grounds will give a better cup of coffee and not create the mess.

This guy is perfect for a quick cup of coffee, as the brewing time for an 8-ounce cup is less than one minute from start to finish; and it is HOT.
