What people are saying

With an average 4.3 star rating and more than 9,000 reviews, reviewers love that this machine can make both single servings and a 12-cup pot of coffee.

“I really like this coffee maker. It is so nice to have coffee waiting when I get up, and the single serving is great when I don’t have time for a full pot,” reads one review.

“This is exactly what I have been searching for! A pod brewer and standard coffee brewer in one. The pod water reservoir hold about 4 servings of water, and the coffee pot reservoir holds 12,” adds another. “We are super happy with it!”

However, customers warn the single-serving side does tend to splatter.

“This coffee maker combo is just what I needed. I like the versatility of using your own ground coffee… I would also like to note that the coffee splatters while draining into the cup but I wipe the counters everyday so its not a big issue to me,” says one customer.

“Great dual purpose coffee maker – one machine to replace them all! However, the single-serve side does splatter a bit, but no worse than my Keurig did. A big step forward from my old Mr. Coffee,” adds another.

The verdict

Whether your first coffee of the day is non-negotiable, you’re simply missing your favourite coffee shop or these quarantine times call for a little treat to yourself, the Cusinart Coffee Center is guaranteed to brew a café-quality cup of coffee that will surely have you waking up on the right side of the bed.
