5.0 out of 5 stars Great customer service
I bought this coffee maker in November. I liked the fact that it did not take up too much counter space. The coffee was always very hot and good. About a week ago the one cup side stopped working I did everything to try to fix it. Finally called Cuisinart on Monday and told them of the issue.
I was told to cut the cord and send a photo to an email and they would send me a new one. Today I got the new one. Amazing. Thank you Cuisinart

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy!
We enjoy the craft side of this coffee machine. We have had major issues with the pod side. Each time we use it, since the first time, it overflows and grounds get all in the cup of coffee and also all in and around the machine. It is a pain to clean the grounds out of the machine because no parts come out to clean, you just have to wipe inside and around until all the grounds are gone, this is very time consuming. Also when I contacted Cuisinart customer service I do not think their return policy is fair. They want me to cut the cord to the machine, take a picture of this, send back the machine and then wait 2 weeks for the replacement, therefore we would be without a coffee pot for two weeks because they sell a faulty product? If I have to go out and get a new coffee pot I’m going to buy a new one and not waste 200$ on one that doesn’t work well. I asked if they could charge me for the new one, ship it and then refund me when they get my broken one back, so we can use the craft side in the mean time, so we don’t have to be without one. They told me no, and I will have to go without and wait for the replacement. Seems strange, I asked why they operate this way and they responded, “we have alot of fraud and don’t trust customers to return the products”. Well welcome to the world, everyone deals with fraud, unfortunately part of owning a company is making the customer happy and standing behind your product. Very disappointed in this company and the product quality. Do not buy this machine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Flavorful Quality
Previously I had a Keurig coffee maker and a Black and Decker coffee pot maker. This took up a lot of counter space. This was my 3rd Keuring to go out in an unreasonable short amount of time, therefore I was definitely going for a different brand. I saw this Cuisinart duo and decided to try it. It is fantastic. It gives me more counter space, looks very nice and the coffee. Oh my goodness. It is the best coffee I have ever made. I now believe that the coffee maker can make a huge difference in the flavor. I should have chosen Cuisinart before. I have many of their products and have never been disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Makes great coffee
I almost returned it because I couldn’t get it to brew. There is a button sequence that must be followed exactly (not explained in directions) to get it to operate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pod issue
Thank you P. Martino for your post regarding the pod issue. Just received today and the pod side would not work. Found the button you referenced (and not addressed in the instructions)
and presto. Perfect and no issues on either side.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fool me twice…shame on me. DO NOT BUY SS-15 or SS-16!!
Review for Cuisinart Coffee Center SS-15 AND SS-16…
We previously had the SS-15 model… which has a ton of problems in itself. Leaky water reservoir (and no, a replacement will not fix the problem), the more than occasional k-cup coffee ground explosion, and a red clean light that will not turn off no matter what you do to clean or re-program the darn thing.
We decided to just deal with the SS-15 for three years and finally decided to “upgrade” to the next model, SS-16, hoping it would fix the previous problems. WELL JOKE IS ON ME. My husband brewed a pot of coffee 24-HOURS ago (worked great then) and this morning while looking for the serial number under the machine I noticed that the plate was STILL HOT! No – the “off” button does not turn off the plate and there is no side switch to turn on/off the machine like the SS-15. We attempted to make a k-cup and per the manual we had to descale the machine first. After holding the clean button, the light flickered red and it beeped five times to tell us it was done. EXCEPT NOTHING HAPPENED!! The water was still in the reservoir. We clicked on the “pod” button to select a cup size. Again. NOTHING HAPPENED.
So just like the last machine three years ago, I found myself calling Cuisinart customer service AGAIN. Turns out the machine is malfunctioned. So I must either have terribly bad luck with coffee makers OR Cuisinart makes cheap quality products that could have turned into a FIRE HAZARD had I not discovered the 24/7 HOT hot plate… I’m going to go with the latter. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY on Cuisinart coffee makers. You’ve been warned.

5.0 out of 5 stars So convenient!
I’ve had my coffee maker for a couple of months and we love it! It works great, easy to work and I love having the option to make one cup or a pot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can be difficult to program
The Cuisinart Extreme Brew Coffee Maker is versatile, allowing me to brew a full pot or just a single cup, depending on my needs. The five different serving sizes for single-serve pods make it convenient to enjoy just the right amount of coffee, whether I want a quick pick-me-up or a more leisurely cup. The built-in descaling function is a nice touch, keeping both the pod and carafe sides clean and functioning well without much hassle.
However, the coffee maker isn’t without its quirks. I found it a bit challenging to operate at first, as the instructions could have been clearer. Setting up the clock and the morning brew function was also somewhat cumbersome. Despite these minor issues, the product meets my expectations and brews coffee quickly and efficiently. Just be aware that it takes up quite a bit of counter space. Overall, it’s a reliable coffee maker that I would recommend, especially for its speed and versatility.

4.0 out of 5 stars The timer to brew coffee does not work
I like this coffeemaker. Coffee tastes great. So far all good except I cannot get it to have my coffee brewed for me when I wake up…..one of the major reasons for my purchase. The instructions are not clear on this coffee machine at all! I’m so frustrated with it.
