From the Manufacturer

The Quest for the Perfect Cup of Coffee
Water	Any hot beverage is made up primarily of water. Often overlooked, the quality of the water is as important as the quality of the coffee, tea, or cocoa. A good rule of thumb is that if your water doesn’t taste good from the tap it won’t taste any better in your beverage. That’s why the Cuisinart Single Serve Brewing System has added a charcoal water filter that removes chlorine, bad tastes, and odors, for the purest cup every time. Cuisinart recommends changing the water filter every 60 days or after 60 uses, and more often it you have hard water.	The Cuisinart SS-700 Single-Serve Brewing System
Coffee	While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the flavor should be from the coffee, tea, or cocoa. To achieve the same great quality you receive at coffee bars, you need to use the same quality ingredients. By using the K-Cup, brought to you by some of the most premium brands on the market, you can be assured that you’re getting the finest, freshest gourmet product with every cup you brew. If you choose to make your own coffee make sure all your ingredients are at their freshest.
Grind	The grind of coffee and cocoa or the refinement of your tea leaves is critical for proper flavor extraction. With the pre-measured, pre-ground ingredients found in every K-Cup, you can rest easy knowing that it’ll brew perfectly each and every time, locking in maximum flavor and freshness.
Proportion	No matter which cup size you choose, the Cuisinart Single Serve Brewing System, working in conjunction with K-Cup, always produces the perfect cup every time. When grinding your own coffee, remember to add the amount of ground coffee that corresponds to the number of ounces being used.

"Love this machine" 2010-10-15
By Summer (Pa.)
I recently purchased my Cuisinart SS-700 Single Serve System and love it. I have a Keurig in my office and it's been a good machine for over 6 years. No problems but I decided to try the Cuisinart due to the reviews and design. I am not disappointed. The rinse and cup size selection as well as the hot water selection for tea bags or soup, are terrific features. I use my Cuisinart at least 5 times a day and have not had a single problem so far. I love the rectangular shape as it does not take up a lot of counter space even with the large capacity water storage..

The shipping was super fast and it was packaged well. . The price is excellent compared to the store prices and I would recommend this to everyone.

  
"Great machine!" 2010-10-15
By tracey crone
I first purchased this item and after about 2 weeks, It didnt make the correct cup size and there was a problem with the water pump..

I contacted price bros (the seller) They immediatly sent a new one and I have had it about 7 weeks now and it works beautifully!

I use this machine at least 6x a day..and up to 15..I brew coffee on 10 oz..tea on 6...find those the best cup size to suit my flavor choice..I use green mountain breakfast blend and it makes a perfect delicious cup..I also use dunkin donuts and brew that in the included filter..also fantastic..I buy whole beans as it stays fresher longer and grind enough for 4 cups at a time...

I love the hot water feature as well as the rinse feature..Has a good sized water tank..and really like the water filters..easy to fill ..easy to use and makes a delicious HOT cup of coffee or tea...would and have recommended to many..this will be a gift I give a few people at christmas..

I can't say enough about the vendor..they are fantastic!
the hot water selection is hot enough for bagge tea..oatmeal and ive used it for things like stuffing that calls for hot water...

  
"Very hopeful" 2010-10-14
By Marianne Wilson (Ventura CA)
I have had the worst luck with the Kuerig coffee makers. I went through three of them in a span of two years. They just don't work right. I would buy one, it would work for a couple months just fine, then it would give me half a cup, next time it would be normal, then it would dispense nothing. All three did that to me. I am determined to find the ideal coffee maker. This one seems to be ok. Although I do believe it is also made by Keurig. I have my fingers crossed, so far so good. I love the new water tank, ( a tip ) DO NOT REMOVE IT FOR REFILLING, air seeps into the works after continued removal and replacement, Use a pitcher and pour water into it. Remove it just for cleaning. Another tip, always remove the k cup, leaving the sharp pin inside the kcup for hours is not good for the coffee maker. These things need all the help you can give them. So far, this machine has been working perfectly, it feels solid, looks good. I wish me luck.

"Easy to use, great coffee!" 2010-10-08
By B. Green (Bay Area)
I highly recommend my Cuisinart coffee machine - it's fast, easy to use and makes great coffee, one cup at a time. The regular strength K-Cups are not strong enough, even on the 6oz setting, so I was initially disappointed, but the "extra bold" K-Cups are plenty strong enough, especially Tully's K-cups. It won't make espresso strength, but then, you couldn't reasonably expect it to. My favorite points:

It comes with a refillable K-cup that works just fine (I've had no overflows with it) and is not hard to clean and refill. And, the machine has a storage door to fit it, which also takes the K-cup holder when the other one is in use.

BPA free, large reservoir, which you use surprisingly fast, especially if you are rinsing between coffee and hot water for tea.

My 15.8cm tall travel cup fits underneath the spout without removing the drip tray. Big plus!
It has only had one hiccup - it started pausing in the brewing cycle, until I figured out it was because I was moving it back and forth from a shelf to the counter. That caused bubbles in the line, I think. Now it stays put and has not done that again.

I tried loose tea in the refillable K-cup and it was too weak, but you can put a bag in the cup and run a hot water cycle more easily anyway.

  
"Great coffee maker just one little thing to do first!" 2010-10-05
By C. Mendoza (St. Amant, LA USA)
This coffee maker is fantastic! However, no where in the manual does it tell you to rinse it several times (I did it 3 times total) before making your coffee for the first time. If you don't, the coffee will have a strong taste of plastic. I've talked to several people that have a coffee maker simular to this one, and they reported the same thing. I'm not sure why the maker doesn't put this information in their manual. Anyway, I strongly recommend this coffee maker! It makes a great cup of coffee as well as a great glass of iced tea. Just cut your tea bag open and put the leaves into the k-cup that comes with the appliance, then brew the iced beverage brew. Add ice cubes and more water to your glass...perfect iced tea.
