Title: Single cup coffee maker is quick, quiet and makes a hot cup of coffee!
Review: I've used Keurig single cup coffee makers since the first one came out years ago. But, recent models have left me greatly disappointed. Based on reviews, I finally made the jump to Cuisinart and this model has met my expectations! I haven't had it long enough to assess longevity, but the single cup coffee maker is quick, relatively quiet, and produces a good, hot cup of coffee. It easily fits my 16 oz travel mug and the drip tray removes adding even more clearance for a bigger mug. (See pic - with/without tray)Having the carafe and single cup combined is really convenient too. I use the carafe mainly for gatherings and would typically have to store my carafe and then pull it out of storage for get togethers. While I don't use the carafe daily, I use it more often now because it's right in front of me instead of in storage, and I'm very happy with the performance and flavor!ConsOne con is the volume of the water held in the single cup reservoir. Depending on your frequency of use, you may be refilling often. On the pro side, the frequent filling keeps the water fresh (and is no different than filling your carafe each time you make a pot of coffee).The reservoir is located on the back of the unit. I haven't found that to be a problem as it slips on and off so easily. That said, if you place the product in a tight spot, you will need room to pull the unit forward to access the reservoir. Also, as you can see from my pictures, the reservoir is not completely empty before you are required to add more water. (see pic for light and water still in reservoir)The single cup maker produced some minor micro spatters on the cupboard but I took the advice of another reviewer and put a small dish to raise up my coffee cup. (see pic) Cuisinart needs to build the capability to elevate the cup on future models.My final con is with lifting the lid to place the k-cup. I have good clearance under my cupboards but the top still doesn't open all the way unless I pull it out. (see pic - under cupboard and pulled forward) I've learned to worked with the limited opening, but if you don't have a lot of clearance under your cupboard, you'll be pulling the unit out to place your k-cups every time. However, it's worth the trade off to be able to fit a travel mug under the single cup dispenser. I'm very happy with this product!Update Nov 2022: I've had this unit two years now. Works as well as the day I bought it. I do use filtered water. I've also been using a reusable single cup insert/filter so that I can use fresh ground beans. I've gone through two over the past two years. Where the lid attaches is a stress point that weakens over time and eventually breaks off the cup. Aside from that, my only complaint has been the spatter when using the single cup. But, a coffee maker that is quiet, fast, provides a hot temperature and has longevity is worth dealing with the spatter.

Title: Working perfectly after at least six months
Review: As others have said, I bought this for the convenience of having one appliance do it all. We mostly drink a full pot of decaf in the morning, but the occasional cup of regular is nice. Sometimes, I need just one more cup after the decaf pot is empty. And we have friends who only drink regular. So, this is perfect. I have put off writing a review (actually, I've never written one) because I've been waiting for this unit to break or otherwise become unsatisfactory. Not yet.Here are some things I've learned. In my experience, the mess in the single-serve side is the fault of the commercial k-pod. I had a Donut Shop pod explode all over recently, and it was a mess, not to mention hard to clean (I finally tipped it on its side and used my faucet spray to get all the grounds out). The cover on the pod was not properly sealed, and grounds spewed all over. The other complaint that it's hard to fill is valid. If Cuisinart is in the mood to re-fabricate, moving the reservoir to the other side would be a good move. I simply fill the carafe with an extra cup of water so I don't have to tip the pot at an awkward angle, and I don't put the coffee in until the reservoir is filled. If you don't need filtered water, using the pullout hose on your faucet works like a charm, and the water-level gauge is very easy to read. I also noticed that the single-serve basket needed to be firmly snapped in place and lined up with the white arrow to work properly. So, yes, there are some convenience issues, but they are not difficult to adjust to. I've tried all the features, and all have worked fine. And, it makes great coffee!! Wonderfully hot, even on medium. Hope it doesn't break on me after writing this review. I'll be in touch if it does.November 13, 2019: Update. Not only is this coffee pot working perfectly after 18 months, the second one I bought for another house is also working fine after six months. One reviewer mentioned that it's helpful to push the pod firmly down on the lower spike before pressing down the top. Since I've been doing that, I've had no issues with the pods exploding. I've been very happy with it. Still gets five stars.

Review: Wonderful coffee maker. The only negative is that the individual coffee maker should do 12 oz cups too.

Review: We love this coffee maker, especially the kurig part of it. My only small complaint is that if your cup is not tall enough, it will splash a little onto the counter.
