Pésimo. Total decepción. Ninguna de la cápsulas ( Nespresso, dolce gusto, K cup) funcionaNo la compren

UPDATED REVIEW - UNIT NEEDS A MAJOR OVERHAULThe 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.

Constantly switch between cup pods abd nespresso, works great

great item except the frother is not that great

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!

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.

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

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!

no me gusto porque dicen que el producto es compatible con todas las capsulas del mercado, lo cual es falso, lo lleve a cousinart, por la garantia y despues de un mes me dijeron, que solo era compatible con capsulas kruger
