The Cuisinart SS-15 Maker Coffee Center is designed to give you lots of choices with just one machine. For those days when you need a single cup to wake you up before you drive the kids to school, there’s a single-cup brewer that works with K-cups or your own reusable coffee filter. You even have your choice of 3 different cup sizes so you can down a small dose at home or take a travel mug with you. This Cuisinart can also deliver a 12-cup carafe that’s great for when you’re hosting a weekend brunch or book club meeting.
While you are getting two appliances in one, the SS-15 does cost twice as much as and take up more counter space than most single-function brewers. Before you shell out big bucks and clear counter space, make sure you really need the double functionality.
