Cuisinart Coffee Center 12 Cup Coffeemaker and Single-Serve Brewer

This coffee pot is replacing our kitchen countertop coffee maker that made a full pot of coffee. It is also replacing our Kreig coffee maker that made one cup of coffee at a time. This Cuisinart coffee maker makes a pot of coffee or a Kreig type single cup of coffee. It is very easy to program and to use.

This is our fourth Cuisinart 12-cup coffee maker with single-serve brewer over the past 15 years. This is the only brand with the features we love and is reliable. We even bought an additional unit to put in our RV. The best features of the single-serve side are the ability to choose the cup size and allowing me to dispense just hot water for tea. The best features on the coffeemaker side are the ability to easily set the auto-brew function and be able to select the length of time before the hot plate automatically turns off. I love that it tells me when it is time to clean the inside of the unit and change the filters. Wouldn't have any other brand!

This coffee pot is just right for us. My husband likes a flavored coffee and just in the morning, but I drink decaf all day long. He can brew his cup on the single serving side and I have my pot. We looked at another popular brand but the design was bulky and I preferr the style of the Cuisinart. It will be on the counter all the time and it is an attractive design.

After some negative reviews I hesitated to buy for quite some time, so my Daughter told me look at percentage of those reviews and I bet the positives outcomes negative, so I decided to give it a try and see what happens with that being said I have no drips whatsoever and I’ve had exceptional coffee results on both brews sections and love how it operates and looks so fantastic in my kitchen also. Excellent product do not hesitate to buy especially if it’s on sale too!

I love this appliance. It takes up so much less room than having two different ones. The regular coffee maker side keeps the coffee must hotter than any maker I have ever owned. And the pod side is very easy to use. The complete machine has a great quality feel and I hope it lasts for years to come.

Great coffee maker. Had mixed reviews when I read about this product but it was a good sale so I took a chance. Really glad I did. I don't use the single cup often, but it's nice to have the option. East to use and my coffee tastes so much better than my old machine. It was definitely time for an upgrade.

Satifies the need for full carafe or a sibgle cup of tea coffee or hot water. Filters are a next lelvel benefit. Only improvement I can see is how you pour the water in for the carafe. Lid needs to open up more as it is in the way and change sides with the filter compartment for easier pour access. Surprised Cuisinart has not recognized these improvement optionss.

Pros…We drink quite a bit of coffee and love the ease of the single cup feature for times when I don't prepare a pot the night before. Fits nicely under the cabinets and looks stylish. Nice to select the oz amount on the pod side and can clearly see the cups of water being added to the pot side. Con's….This is my fifth exact same model over the past maybe 8 years. Again…we drink a lot of coffee but replacing it is quite expensive. It isn't very easy to clean, on the pot side above the basket should be able to be removed to properly clean other than give it a damp sponge wipe. The k cup side is a bit touchy, you have to physically push the pod all the way down or you may have the all blow out the top all around the pod holder area which really cannot be cleaned correctly due to not coming apart. Looking at my review, it doesn't look too good although it is tried over and over and semi true over the years for me as I am a creature of habit and don't really like change but wish I would have received the newest model.

Looks wise it's really nice and I love the single serve how easy it is and I love making hot water cups that fast for tea. BUT I can't stand how small the area is where you fill up the area for the coffee pot. It's awful!!! It was a gift but if I bought it I would return it and look for something similar with a better water pouring area. I have to move it out everytime just to fill it. Also there is a strong plastic odor and it's been weeks of using it

I bought it and writhing 2 months the k-cup part stopped working, now only the carafe. Disappointed that is now not usable as the k-cup part is what I am using the most.
