Overview
Combines a 12-cup carafe drip brewer with a single-serve pod side in one stainless steel unit, letting one machine serve solo cups and a full pot without doubling up on counter space.
Decaf pods have been reported not seating properly on some units due to their height.
- 40 oz removable water reservoir
- 24-hour programmable brew start
- Charcoal water filter on carafe side
- Auto energy-save mode after brewing
Who it's for
Suits a household split between someone who wants a fast solo cup and someone who wants a full pot, especially if pod brand loyalty isn't fixed. Not the pick for anyone who has been burned by a leaking pod-based machine before and wants zero risk of a repeat.
Pros and cons
- Runs any pod brand plus a reusable filter cup
- Brews a full 12-cup carafe alongside single cups
- Adjustable brew strength and water temperature
- Single-serve side splashes during brewing
- Some units report reservoir leaks at the base
- Decaf pods may not seat flush on some units
Performance notes
The carafe side runs a standard automatic drip cycle with a charcoal water filter, adjustable brew strength and temperature. The single-serve side pumps hot water through a pod or reusable filter cup in three volume settings, with the exact yield shifting depending on how the coffee is packed. An energy save mode powers the single-serve heater down between uses.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Cuisinart SS-15P1 work with Keurig K-Cup pods?
Yes, the single-serve side is built for any brand's single-cup pods, including K-Cups, and also accepts an optional reusable filter cup for ground coffee.
Can I brew a single cup and a full carafe from the SS-15P1 at once?
They're separate brewing systems on one unit, so you can run the carafe for a group and the single-serve side for a solo cup without switching machines.
