Cuisinart - Single-Serve Coffeemaker - Stainless-Steel

This is our third Cuisnart K-cup maker from Best Buy in almost exactly two years. The first lasted about two months, the second did well for the next 21 months before failing to make coffee. The fact that we got a third one should tell you that we really like the product - as well as the fact that with the first one we bought from Best-Buy we had added the two year warranty, meaning that this third maker was also free (as was the second one) - so this third maker only cost us for the new two-year extended waranty that we opted for. Thank you, Best-Buy. After the first failure, I was more careful about two things: first, I noticed that its normal brew cycle was to suck in 1/2 of the needed water, brew the coffee, give a 'wait' signal while sucking in the second half of the needed water, and only then giving the instruction to 'open the head' to remove the K-cup. It is happier if you allow it to 'do its thing'. Second, I learned to run the vinegar clean cycle once-a-month. The wife and I brew six to twelve cups a day, and the more frequent cleaning cycle did seem to keep things running smoother. All in all, we find it to be an excellent, good looking and versatile coffee maker, and one that is tall enough for our twelve-ounce Starbucks travel coffee mugs to be easily used when we're on the run. I would buy another, with the caveat of buying the warranty just in case.

Went into Best Buy to get Daughter a last minute Christmas gift. Started checking out Keurig Coffee Machines. Opened, closed all display models, picked them up, shook them, you know hands on comparison shopping. The Cuisinart SS-700 was by far the heaviest, most solidly built unit. Very different from the all plastic versions of the other 4 display models. It comes with a manufactures 3 year warranty vs. 1 year on the others. A charcoal filter for the fresh water reservoir, which has the largest capacity of all non commercial units. The Cuisinart comes with it's own "My-K Cup" for brewing your own favorite coffee, "saving some money". Makes Tea and Hot Cocoa, great for the kids. The blue back lite also lights up the water reservoir, kind of cool to look at. Program the on time, off time, and it's ready when you need it. But It does take up a lot of counter space, and won't beep to let you know it's done. We just pop in our favorite K-Cup press a button and get our coffee in 1 minute that's all it takes. Walked out of the store with one for Mom too, good thing Best Buy had a 20% off sale. The Cuisinart SS-700 has brewed many cups of great tasting coffee so far with out a hiccup, we plan on enjoying it for a long time.

I upgraded from a mid-size Kuerig, but only because I needed a single serve brewer at work and this one was on sale. This one is more versatile, with more cup size selections, larger water container and quieter operation. I also wanted the option of using my own coffee with the additional k-cup insert. This makes great coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc. and the fact that I got it on sell made this a really great buy.

We have been watching reviews and data/stats for awhile for the Keurigs.....debating etc. Finally Best Buy had a fantastic deal, too good to pass up, at 1/2 off, so we jumped. We have had it set up a month or so now and both love the ease and the versatility of it to be able to try many different flavors of coffees and teas..K-cups or bagged. It is easy to use, clean and best of all, the coffee is of course, a fresh cup each time. No longer do we have to make a pot of coffee, which sits as we consume it over the morning, less and less fresh as it sits. Would definitely recommend to try it, when there is a good deal!

BEST BEST coffee maker EVER! I love this machine, it holds a lot of water, filters it too. The first time you turn it on it takes 3-4 minutes to warm up but after that you can make cup after cup of delicious consistent kcup coffee with plenty of flavor and no grinds. Program it to start when you wake up and you can bypass the wait but somehow I couldn't get my turn on to work automatically yet. (At the steep price tag of $200 it should probably deliver it to your bed! but all in all a great buy!)

The only thing that we wish is that we had bought it sooner. We really love this machine. It was quick and easy to set-up and is a breeze to operate. We have to fill the water up pretty frequently, but it is simple to do. My husband is the primary user and he often heats up his coffee in the microwave for a few seconds after brewing. I believe the max temperature is capped at 120. Great look, easy to use, a hit in our house.

I have both a Keurig machine (for work) and this one for home. Overall its the best choice because of how quiet it is, the larger water tank and the multiple cup sizes. The only draw back is it is harder to fit the travel mugs into it.

We have had three other coffee makers which use the keurig cups and all three have conked out in a relatively short time --- one within a month. This Cuisinart maker is efficient, easy to use, and, most of all, reliable. Additionally, it's an attractive addition to our kitchen.
