We were looking for a simple k-cup coffee brewer that didn't cost $80 or more just make a single cup of coffee. My mom is getting older and I wanted something that was very simple to use. Now, this brewer does not have all the bells and whistles. You do have to measure the water needed for each cup. Other than that, it is straightforward. On the inside, there are white tiles that indicate where to measure water or you can use a measuring cup. Plus the main basket for the k-cups is removable and easy to put back. I also like the reusable filter for ground coffee. It has a generous basket where you can control how much coffee you want to put in it. The coffee brews a full flavor and smooth cup of coffee which I was surprised. And the coffee stays hot longer than other brewers I have used in the past. We were able to get this brewer at a discounted price. But even at $50, it is a very good choice for an inexpensive single k-cup coffee brewer. UPDATE: After several uses, we noticed there's a lot of coffee grinds in the bottom of the mug. We thought this might be due to needing to clean the inside of the brewer but it's actually a function flaw. At the end of brewing high amounts of pressure is forced through the pod which expels excess coffee grinds. Very disappointing.

Everything was great at first but now my filter is broken so this product became a waste of money for me. I would have to buy an entire new filter/pot or try to use paper filters now that it’s coming apart. Very disappointing * update * company asked for my personal details to send me new filter and never sent it. The bottom glass part just broke a few days ago due to a small tap on my sink. Complete waste of money!

I am absolutely obsessed with this machine in fact I want to give it its own little special place in the house! The coffee is absolutely delicious and the milk frothier is so quiet and easy to use. The entire set up is just simple and efficient. I’m highly impressed and it is the best $200 that I have spent in a long time!

This was easy to use. But the carafe was not sturdy. Cleanup was messy. We did a taste test with an overnight brew and this one. Both tasted about the same, but the coffee made with the Presto is muddy looking. We used the same brand of ground coffee for both. See the attached picture.

NOT GLASS AS ADVERTISED. For the price, this is a great way to make cold brew. Just fill the middle filter tube with ground coffee and then water. This is the first cold brew maker I've had that doesn't involve a press down method. I prefer it to be glass and will probably upgrade, but for the price this one is great

I bought this coffee maker because it was so pretty, but the quality is poor. The paint on the handle is coming off and looks awful - and considering I bought it for looks, it's very disappointing. I would not recommend anyone pay this much for such low quality. I looked to buy a replacement carafe on GE's website, but it's $86. I've looked at reviews on Cafe's website and it appears that lots of people are having trouble getting responses from customer service. I think I'll take the $86 and buy a different coffee maker.

I have an older fridge so I didn’t have an outlet so I had to do some research and find the main water line from my filter. It had everything I needed in the kit and it works flawlessly. The float is adjustable

very easy to use and good quality

**** UPDATE 3/17/2025 **** It has been two years five months since my purchase. I'm still brewing no less than four K Cups per day. No issues to date. I'm still using the 1 to 2 vinegar/water ratio to descale as recommended by Cuisinart. Today I ran a 12 oz hot water cycle (without K Cup) and got the same 13 oz output as when the coffee maker was new. As stated in my original review if a K Cup was used it soak up some water and the output would be about 12 oz, **** END OF UPDATE **** I purchased this unit on October 15, 2022. Today is June 23, 2024. About four or five cups of coffee have been brewed daily since I received the unit. So far I have not had any issues. ***** QUALITY ***** Some reviewers compared this model SS-10P to an older similar Cuisinart model SS-700 (discontinued) stating the older model is built better. I have been on this planet quite a few years and agree “they don't make em like the used to”. IMHO this applies to most small kitchen appliances whether the brand is Cuisinart, Keurig, ACME or whoever. With that being said my review is based on what is available in today's market I purchased this Cuisinart SS-10P to replace a Keurig Slim that was on it's second warranty replacement. The Keurig Slim was purchased to replace an older working Keurig to save counter space. One deciding feature for my purchase is the three year warranty and U.S. based support (I think) available by voice call. I called Cuisinart regarding another appliance and I asked the agent if he was U.S. Based. He replied yes. ***** FEATURES ***** The features are basic. Brewing temperatures, auto shut off, auto power up (based on time set), clock, 4, 8, 10 and 12 ounce cups, hot water only, time to descale notice. There is no brew strength setting. ***** BREWING AND NOISE ***** As other reviewers have stated the brew time is slower than some other coffee makers. I agree. In my opinion the faster the brew the weaker the coffee, the slower the brew the stronger the coffee. Maybe the brew speed is a compromise. I agree the brewing process is louder than other coffee makers. For my personal preference this does not bother me at all. How loud is too loud is subjective. The select brew size is reasonably accurate. I ran a hot water only 12 oz. The amount of water measured was about 13 oz. See attached photo number 1. If a coffee pod was being brewed some of the water would have been soaked up by the coffee grounds. ***** MAINTENANCE ***** I don't baby my Cuisinart. I have been waiting on the descale notice to appear before descaling the unit. Today after descaling I decided to descale once per month in the future and not wait for the descale notice to appear. The Cuisinart manual hints at not waiting on the descale notice. This may add little more to the life of the unit. Cuisinart says to use 20 oz vinegar mixed with 40 of water to descale the unit. I heave been doing this. No problems. I use store brand vinegar which is literally dirt cheap compared to some coffee maker manufactures who recommend their branded pricey descale solution. I purchased the Cuisinart filters (two pack) just once. I no longer use their pricey filters or a third party cheaper filter (lower quality?). I use filtered tap water for brewing. Yes, I agree filters may help. It's just my personal choice. My only real complaint is cleaning the area under the “pod holder”. See photo number 3 with the holder removed. Over time some loose grounds will find it's way to this hidden area. I can get just one finger into this area from the top. I used two methods to clean. (1) A wet paper towel wrapped around my finger. (2) Let completely dry and use a small brush to sweep the grounds out of the bottom hole (pod holder removed). I am dinging one star because of this design. ***** CONCLUSION ***** My personal requirement is a basic reliable coffee maker. I use the auto shut off feature, the brew size and hot water only feature. I don't use the other features. I am not a picky coffee drinker. Overall this Cuisinart unit works for me.

Great for infusing bourbon.

I purchased this coffee machine because the previous one I had always gave the coffee a burnt flavor. This one does not. It is affordable, lasts long (I've had one at work for the longest time), and is easy to program. It has a clock, an on button, a button to adjust the strength of the coffee, and a button to program for the time you set it at.

Chipped two weeks after return window. Was awesome until the glass broke. First there was a small crack, and then upon lifting to examine about a 1 inch chunk came off. It was always hand washed and stayed on top of other dishes while air drying.

This Keurig is so easy to use. Makes delicious iced coffee in just minutes. So happy someone recommended this. Think of all the money you'll save overgoing to one of these big brand coffee places.

It is a great coffee maker as far as brewing , cleaning and the features are awesome. Including being able to brew a whole carafe or just a k cup. However, it is a little tall when flipping up the lid for a pod. You have to pull it out from under the cabinets. Not a deal breaker just a slight annoyance. Only reason it gets 4 stars. Definitely worth it over the keurig though

I like that the coffee is dark and not watered down. The right amount of hot water comes and dissolves the k-cup contents for a rich tasting cup of coffee.
