Customer Reviews for Cuisinart Coffee Center 12-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker and Single-Serve Brewer

I replaced my Ninja dual coffee maker as it would not stay on to brew a cup of coffee after 2 years. This Cuisinart dual coffee maker is a great replacement! I love the look of cream and stainless instead of black. It is easy to set up and use. The coffee it brews has tasted wonderful. The only thing I wish is the reservoir held a little more water to refill less often. But I would definitely recommend this coffee maker.

I wanted to have a single pod as well as a 12 cup coffee machine to save on counter space. I absolutely love my Coffee Center brewer. It is perfect for what I needed. I highly recommend this coffee pot to those who love a great cup of coffee and the convenience of a pod option when necessary!

Great coffee maker for the price, hope it lasts like the last one I had, it made the 10 year mark.

Multifunctional Appliance with capacity to hold a lot of water.

Nice looking coffee maker with dual coffee making capabilities. I have tried both and there was a small learning curve but I do like the functionality and the option to make a carafe or a single cup. The downside with the one-cupper is the small water reservoir. We have to refill it frequently. There are two of us using it most often and we only have 3 cups per morning between us using the biggest cup setting of 10 oz. The other downside is that it splatters quite a bit. Some of the splatter may be because we use the pods with no plastic, which are more eco-friendly. I also like the auto shutoff feature.

Easy to use and program. Makes a great cup of coffee

Returned the coffee pot and purchased a Braun. Cuisinart had too many issues with overflowing grounds and a clock that ran too fast. I was able to fix ground overflow issue by using my Hamilton Beach pot. By using the other pot, it fit better on hot plate and the bubble on lid was taller which helped open the spring-loaded opening so coffee didn’t back up and overflow. It was also cumbersome to fill with water especially since I am left handed and the opening was small. On the positive, it made good coffee when it worked properly. It was not worth the money since I couldn’t use the auto start feature due to a clock that ran very fast and many times had to make a second pot because first one overflowed and poured grounds into pot.

Awesome machine the singleserve is great. Makes a wonderfully hot cup of coffee.

My old coffee maker finally needed to be replaced. This Cuisinart coffee maker works like a charm. Easy to use and just the perfect size for my counter. Makes great cup of Joe.

Very nice looking coffee maker that meets my needs for single serve and full pot of coffee. Convenient and easy to use. Makes excellent coffee. Love it!

It broke after 3 months. Plugged it in and does not work.

I have only had mine 6 months and it doesn’t work.

Love my new coffee maker. Brews it hot to get the best flavor. Definitely worth the money I paid for it.

So far so good. We use the individual pod cups everyday and use the 12 Cup part for when we have company. The coffee pot is not bulky like others and it looks very nice on my counter.

Really enjoying the machine so much easier to get a quick cup of coffe in the morning.

I needed a coffee maker that could do two things, and that is make a pot of coffee and make a single cup. Instead of buying two coffee makers. I had family gatherings this holiday and everyone was so impressed with the Cuisinart that they were ordering one for themselves.

I love my Cuisinart , it works great. The only thing is that when you are using the 12 cups , the single cup it doesn't work until the other is finished.

We had a Cuisinart Single Serve coffee maker for many years and loved it! So when it stopped working, we decide to get the Cuisinart Coffee Center. I'm very disappointed in the quality of this coffee maker. I wish we had read reviews before I purchase it. I finally learned you have to push the K-cup down so it is pierced on the bottom before you close the top, only after several exploded K-cups. WHAT A MESS! It is so cheap it slides backwards when you push the button to brew a K-cup, and the coffee temperature is not hot enough. I expected a better quality product from Cuisinart, especially for the price we paid.

It's programable, so a fresh pot is ready when I wake up. Filters make sure you get the clearest water on both the pot and the single serve. Compact size takes up very little counter space. You can choose the brew (ie. mild, bold) and the size cup or mug, including a travel mug. Best of all, it makes a great cup of coffee.

Terrific machine. Both sides produce perfect coffee. No complaints.

We have friends that have a different model 12 cup coffeemaker and it makes great tasting coffee! We were using another brand of coffee maker an also using a single cup maker! Counter space is a premium in our kitchen and having 1 coffee maker for both brewing methods this seems to be the best option. And it’s working out beautifully.

Not made as well as before. Basket gets stuck, bottom where it gets hot looks burnt, happened 1st month. This is my fourth one, so it’s not me

Overall, my 12 Cup Coffeemaker and single-serve brewer works well. It is very easy to set up and to use. There is one major flaw. About 50% of the time i place a K-Cup into the holder and close the lid. It breaks the foil top wide open and spills many of the grinds from the K-Cup out into my mug and all throughout the cup brewing area! The only way I can avoid this is to push the K-Cup down until the needle at the bottom goes through the K-Cup before closing the lid! See picture attached. Is there a fix for this???? I have made several pots of coffee and that function works well.

It's a very attractive, well-made coffee maker. We've always had Cuisenarts, but love the single cup feature. Some folks complained about the single cup "splashing." We placed an inverted little dish on the base. It raised the cup closer to where the coffee comes out. We love it. We, also enhanced it by purchasing a coffee pod storage gizmo on Amazon as well. Both the 12 cup and single cup sides make excellent coffee.

The single reservoir is wobbly and does not fit like the previous one I had.

Makes delicious coffee. I like the filtration system.

Love this dual coffee maker! Being able to program our morning coffee is so important to us and love the options it comes with!! Definitely worth the money we spent. Also, beautifully constructed and love the blue lights.

Combines the two ways we brew coffee perfectly! The K-cup for single servings and the carafe when we need more. Looks great on the counter and takes up less room than two different machines. Add Cuisinart quality and who could ask for anything more? Loving it!

I liked the idea of the coffee maker/single brew in one as it saves counter space. Two design flaws and one issue prevent a higher rating. When you lift the lid, any condensate runs down the back of the unit onto the counter rather than back into the maker. So it constantly requires wiping up the counter. Also, the area to pour the water into is so confined that it's easy to overshoot and again have water on the counter. Finally, after about 5-12 cup pots made, the "Clean" light came on. Did the vinegar clean and it went off but came back on after two pots of just water were run through it. A few days later, did the vinegar clean again and it only lasted about two weeks before the "Clean" light came on once more. It simply can't be that dirty as the water here is not hard.

We bought this Cuisinart 12 cup Coffee Maker and Single-Serve Brewer to have the best of both coffee worlds. The Single Serve is perfect for me and my wife. And when company is over, the 12 Cup Coffee Maker is great. And the Cuisinart name is one we trust. This is a great addition to our kitchen and makes a great cup of coffee.
