A pod brewer that also takes ground coffee in its own reusable cup, with a large reservoir and a timer so the first cup can be waiting in the morning. It is bulky for a single serve machine, and the listing disagrees on cup sizes.

Overview
Not a pod-only brewer, the Cuisinart single serve machine runs any brand of single cup pod and also brews loose grounds through its HomeBarista reusable filter cup. Water comes from a large removable reservoir, the LCD and buttons set a brew time a day ahead, and a hot water button fills a mug for tea or soup.
Freedom from one pod brand is the argument, since the reusable cup takes whatever ground coffee is in the pantry and the pod holder accepts K-Cup and K-Cup 2.0 formats. Against that it is a large, heavy unit for a single cup machine, and the cup size count is stated two different ways in the listing.
Who it's for
Homes where one person wants a quick pod cup and another insists on their own ground beans from the same machine, or who make tea or soup with the hot water button. The large reservoir suits a busy household that hates refilling. Someone short on counter depth, or who brews a whole pot for a crowd, is better served by a different type of machine.
Pros and cons
- Takes K-Cup, K-Cup 2.0 and other pods
- Reusable HomeBarista cup for ground coffee
- Large reservoir, fewer refills
- Programmable up to a day ahead
- Cup size count stated inconsistently
- Heavy and deep for a single serve
- No carafe option
- No pods listed in the box
Performance notes
Brew strength comes from how much water the chosen cup size pushes through the pod or the reusable cup, so the smallest setting gives the strongest cup from the same grounds. Loose coffee in the HomeBarista cup depends on grind and fill level, which the user controls, unlike a sealed pod. Water heats from the reservoir on demand, and the rinse function flushes the path between pods so flavors do not carry over.
