Great coffee machie
I am not quite sure what why people have any problem with this coffee machine. It works perfect. Hot water works fantastic. Both pods are wonderful. This is the first time I have used Nespresso pods. Wow, talk about good coffee. The only problem I have had is the full pot. Putting water in it is tricky.

Defective product.
DO NOT BUY! When it works. It’s great. We had to replace our first one because the single serving side was defective. Amazon replaced it no problem. We got our second one. It worked great. After 2 months it went bad with the same issue. We cleaned the whole system thoroughly. It was out of the return window so we had to call CusineArt themselves. They told us we were wrong and using the machine wrong. They couldn’t help us and to call Amazon for a refund then hung up on me. If you are lucky enough to get a good machine then it will be great for you. But, their (Cuisine Art) customer service is absolutely terrible and they don’t stand behind their product. Absolutely pathetic! Thank you to Amazon for standing with their customers and making it right in the end!

Great machine, annoying Nespresso sticking problem
We have been using the machine for a few days now. So far, we have been having so much fun making our own fancy coffee drinks. We have it sitting on a sliding bamboo tray that we also bought on Amazon. That makes it easier to roll it forward to remove the water tank and lifts the machine slightly so we can more easily get a milk pitcher under the steamer nozzle. Then today, the lid got stuck! I had seen a few reviews complaining about this happening but no one ever said how they fixed it. We tried running several Nespresso cycles and nothing was happening. The machine made noises like it was brewing and beeped at the end but no water ever came out. What ended up working was running a k-cup cycle and then a Nespresso cycle. We let it sit for a couple of minutes and it suddenly made a hissing noise and released the pressure. Then we were able to open the lid as normal. It could have been the pod (it was a Peet’s coffee branded Nespresso compatible pod) We’ll stick to only Nespresso line pods from now on. Hope this helps someone else!

Design Issues! An almost perfect machine derailed by simple design problems.
First the good – the machine is really beautiful and sleek. The frother works great, and I loved that you can brew a carafe or a single cup. The Brew Pause is awesome and we liked that you can set it for a bolder flavor. We also liked that you can use espresso capsules in the Single Serve brewer.Now for the negatives – first, the water reservoir for the single serve cups, is in the back of the machine. This means that you have to pull the whole machine toward you and turn it to get the reservoir on and off the machine. Second, as many other reviews have mentioned, there is a slight learning curve to using the machine. It could be designed to be so much more intuitive to use. Third, the light on the display that is supposed flash to let you know it is brewing, is too light!!! In a brightly lit kitchen it is very difficult to see the BREW light flashing. Fourth, for an almost $300 machine, we were disappointed that Cuisinart could not include the reusable Filter Cup to brew your own coffee for single-serve = you have to buy it on your own. Fifth (and for us, the dealbreaker) – the machine beeps (loudly) 5 times when it is done brewing a carafe. Cuisinart did not include the option to silence or even lower the beep sound, so it wakes up the sleeping members of the house! This was especially frustrating because the basic Cusinart carafe coffee machine which we were trying to replace, does have the TONE button to allow the beeps to be silenced.We have had a Cuisinart coffee maker for years and love the customer service. We were trying to upgrade our coffee game with this machine but the beeping was too annoying to deal with.

All features work as advertised in one machine
Every element works great. Perfect pot of drip coffee, great espresso, steamed milk is on point, and the single serve feature with a reusable pod that I bought separately worked as expected. Easy to use and exactly what I was looking for.
Works awesome looks cool –
Constantly switch between cup pods abd nespresso, works great

La caja llegó intacta y muy rápido. La cafetera es un sueño, puedes preparar todos los diferentes tipos de cafés en una sola cafetera. Usa cápsulas Nespreso y keuring . La verdad me encanto!

Me encantó, corroboré la función de la jarra de café y el expresso, todo muy bien.Trae unas pequeñas bolsitas de carbón que funcionan para mantener la calidad del agua, excelente detalle.Fácil de usar, solo me falta probar con las cápsulas krup, con la de Nespresso no hubo detalle alguno, solo basta con acomodar bien y aunque no es tan rápida para hacer el café como una cafetera Nespresso, el tiempo tampoco es exagerado así que muy bien. ☺️No le doy el 10 porque me falta probar una función.El cable es algo corto de igual manera pero pues con una extensión ya está.

We were Ninja users for the past few years, and I went through lemon after lemon with them. So when the 3rd one in a year decided to kick it, I decided to research to find out what I should replace it with. I wanted something that does a pot of coffee, and lattes and doesn’t break within 6 months. We haven’t had it 6 months yet, but I’m writing a review anyway because it is so much better than the Ninja, it isn’t even comparable. The BOLD feature for brewing coffee makes the best pot of coffee I have ever made at home. People are complimenting the coffee and wondering what we are doing to make it so good. We use pre-ground Starbucks and filtered water: nothing special, but the results with the BOLD feature are fresh and tasty. It took some time to learn how to use it, but I love my machine! Hopefully, it will last for years!

Compré cápsulas de diferentes marcas y no funcionan, además ahora ya no mantiene el café caliente
