Cuisinart Coffeemaker, Coffee Center Barista Bar 4-In-1 Coffee Machine, Single-Serve Coffee, Espresso & Nespresso Capsule Compatible, 12-Cup Carafe, Silver Crystal, SS-4N1SC

Do you like espresso? Check. How about K pods of hot chocolate or other flavored coffees? Check. Need hot water for tea? Check. Steaming milk for a cup of cappuccino? Check. A pot of coffee for guests? Check. A whole barista center in one place. Brew a few cups up to 12 cups pot of hot coffee in a glass carafe. It’ll keep it warm up to 4 hours which you can manually set using the auto off button. If you don’t set it, the pot shuts off on its own. The permanent filter is convenient but you can use paper #4 cone paper filters too. This part of the coffee maker has its own water reservoir with the number of cups indicator on the side. For Kcup pods use your faves for the Keurig but Do Not buy the reusable ones as they are not compatible with this machine. Easy to use. Compatible Espresso pods are Nespresso Original Only. Bell shaped pods. You have a choice of single or double shot but check your pods for whether they are single or double shots. The pods and espresso pods have their own water reservoir which shares. with the frother/ hot water dispenser. With the turn of the dial the wand also dispenses extremely hot water for a cup of tea. Does a great job of frothing milk. Instructions for set up and use are easy to follow. And there are videos on YouTube if you like to view instructions visually. Pot is easy to clean as is the reusable filter. I bought the pot on sale. Worth every cent. I have always had cuisinart coffee pots my Last a grind and brew. IMO But this is the best coffee pot Cuisinart ever made!!! Highly recommend. One final note: It is a tall unit and though it fits under overhead cabinets when not in use. You will have to pull it forward to use it but it’s no biggie. Get ready to enjoy all your favorites all created in one unit.

Very happy with the coffee maker after about a year. I like a pot, but my wife likes a pod so it is perfect to have the best of both worlds. The warm setting keeps the pot warm all day if you want it to which is awesome. We wanted a traditional espresso machine, but opted for this based on the price difference. The pods give us flexibility on flavor and style. The cleaning process is a bit inconvenient because you basically have to clean each function separately but overall it’s not difficult. We are really happy with this machine and would absolutely buy it again, but would like to list out a few improvements we would have loved to see from the manufacturer: -steam wand dificult to clean/remove if crusted with milk which dries almost instantly -the espresso pod holder suctions down and has to be pried off almost every time -small reservoir tank has to be filled too often for daily drinkers, I would love to see an in-line connection port -10oz is the largest k-cup pour size compare compared to other brands which offer a 12oz to 14oz setting

UPDATED REVIEW - UNIT NEEDS A MAJOR OVERHAUL The clean function for the single serve coffee maker portion of the unit DOES NOT EXIST! I repeat, DOES NOT EXIST! I went to descale my unit for the first time. I referenced the instructions specifically for cleaning the single serve coffee maker cleaning unit on page 19 under “cleaning the water reservoir” step 1, item number 3. It specifically states to rotate the start/stop knob to clean and press the start/stop knob to begin the scale. The clean indicator will flash. Well, there is absolutely no clean function on my unit that is displayed when I rotate the start stop knob! I must’ve tried a half a dozen times, rotating the knob very slow. The only functions I have when I rotate that knob are a couple sizes for espresso, a couple sizes for K cups, a steam and a hot water function. THAT’S ALL! There is a clean button on my unit, however, that is strictly for the large coffee pot side of the unit to clean that part of it. So I found out the hard way after not seeing the clean function displayed when you turn the start/stop knob. So, I pressed the “clean” button and my unit started making a gurgling noise like it was going to brew a large pot of coffee on that side of the unit. So I had to unplug the unit and plug it back in. Then just followed the steps regarding how much vinegar and water to use just using a regular brew cycle for the whole process. I’m not sure who designed this unit and/or wrote the instruction booklet, but it’s totally convoluted and messed up! And that wand, as so many other reviewers have expressed disgust with, is way too long. When I was descaling the hot water part of the unit, when the cup got filled under the wand I actually had to turn the unit around towards my sink to take the cup out from underneath the wand so it was over my sink, so as not to have hot water all over my counter. I would not recommend this piece of GARBAGE to anyone! It’s more trouble than it’s worth, it’s defective, and just run far away from it! I know I will definitely not buy another one of these! PS… As others have also mentioned, the reservoir unit leaks at times (and I have it FLUSH with the unit). Purchased this back in September. I have seen a lot of complaints regarding K cups, exploding and leaking all over the place after making coffee. I had the same issue until I learned after a couple of times that if you leave the pods in the coffee maker for quite a while, and then remove them, You’ll be OK. I now also place the used K cup into a coffee mug and carry it over to the garbage can that way just to be on the safe side.It took a couple times of coffee grounds ending up on my kitchen counter and my kitchen floor, which was totally ridiculous. A complaint I do have is with brewing a big pot. I always set mine on a timer and I can hear it upstairs in bed when it starts to brew and it Makes a loud banging noise as it’s brewing. I’m considering reaching out to Cuisinart about this and possibly getting a replacement. I’ll admit I was new to espresso making upon receiving this machine, had never made it before. Frankly, I’m not too impressed with that function. Seems you only get a little trickle of espresso in a cup from a pod. And then you have to steam the milk, which is a minor pain and as others suggested, the wand should not be as low as it is. It’s just not convenient. I did see some complaints regarding the coffee on the big pot side, overflowing onto peoples’ kitchen counters. If I had to guess it was probably because they were putting too many scoops of coffee into the filter basket. If you refer to the owners manual, it says 15 scoops max per pot, which leads me to believe that some people are just putting way too many scoops in and that’s why it’s overflowing onto their counter. It specifically says in the owners manual that if you exceed the maximum number of scoops in the pot, you will experience overflow. And as other reviewers have also experienced, I have also had issues with the lid not opening after brewing an espresso. I had to fiddle with the lid a little bit, and it was able to just pry it open. But you shouldn’t have to do this. Honestly, this four and one is decent, but I can’t give a five star rating nor would I recommend it to anyone else. The only plus is it comes with a three-year warranty, which is good.

If you're tired of having two coffee makers cluttering your counter, this Cuisinart is the solution. It's a solid 2-in-1 machine that does both a full pot of coffee (drip) and single-serve pods (K-Cup compatible). No more deciding which appliance to buy! 👍 The Good Stuff • Space Saver: It fits both functions into one footprint. • Convenient: Great for a household where one person drinks a pot and another wants a quick single cup. • Reliable: It's a Cuisinart, so it's well-built and consistent. 👎 Heads Up • The "Barista Bar" name is a bit much—it’s just a standard coffeemaker plus a single-serve side. Don't expect fancy espresso. • It's a little tall for some cabinets. Bottom Line: It’s an excellent workhorse for anyone who needs both drip coffee and pod convenience without the counter chaos. It’s practical, not fancy.

Muy completa la cafetera y funcional

Me encantó, todavía estoy aprendiendo a usar todas las funciones pero hasta ahorita muy bien!

Essa cafeteira e fantastica...temos uma nos EUA..amamos...resolvemos comprar a mesma aqui pro Brasil. Pena não ter as cápsulas keurig no brazil

Bien fait. Viens de la Californie. Fonctionne bien. Entretien nécessaire.

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!
