The Cuisinart Coffee Center Barista Bar 4-in-1 Coffee Maker (SS-4N1NAS) is the most versatile brewer Cuisinart has made for the home kitchen. It combines a fully programmable 12-cup coffee maker, a single-serve pod brewer, and a Nespresso OriginalLine-style capsule brewer, so one countertop machine replaces your drip coffee maker and espresso machine.
Cuisinart Coffee Center Barista Bar SS-4N1NAS: 4-in-1 Coffee Maker for Café-Style Mornings
For the carafe, set the 24-hour programmable timer and choose regular or bold strength. For one cup, use the single-serve pod holder and select 6, 8, or 10 oz. For espresso-style shots, use the capsule brewer on the left side of the machine with a Nespresso OriginalLine-style capsule.
How to Use Nespresso Capsules in the SS-4N1NAS
Open the capsule lever, insert one OriginalLine-style capsule, close the lever, place a mug, and press the espresso or double-espresso button. The machine brews directly into your cup. Do not use Vertuo capsules, which are not compatible.
Descaling the Cuisinart Coffee Center Barista Bar
Regular descaling removes mineral buildup and keeps brewing temperatures accurate. Fill the reservoir with a mixture of water and descaling solution, then run a full carafe brew cycle without coffee. Empty the carafe and repeat with clean water two or three times to rinse the system. Check your manual for the recommended descale schedule.
