Cuisinart Coffee Center SS-21NAS: Your 2-in-1 Drip and Single-Serve Coffeemaker
The Cuisinart Coffee Center SS-21NAS combines a 10-cup thermal carafe drip brewer and a single-serve pod machine in one countertop unit. With five single-serve brew sizes, an Over Ice function, and Extreme Brew technology that makes a full pot 25% faster, it gives you hot or iced coffee, your way. This is a fit for households with mixed coffee preferences—someone who wants a full carafe and someone who reaches for a pod.
How to Use the Over Ice Function on the Cuisinart Coffee Center
For iced coffee that isn't watery, fill your glass with ice, select a single-serve size, then press the Over Ice button. The brewer adjusts its temperature and brewing profile to extract coffee at the right strength before it hits the ice. You can use any single-cup pod or the HomeBarista filter for ground coffee.
How to Descale the Cuisinart SS-21 Coffee Center
Over time, mineral deposits can slow brewing and affect flavor. Use the built-in self-clean cycle with a descaling solution, then run at least two fresh-water cycles to rinse. Repeat every one to three months, depending on your water hardness. The removable 42-ounce reservoir makes it easy to fill, and the ready-tone alert lets you know when the cycle is complete.
A Coffee Machine That Fits Your Routine
The 10-cup thermal carafe keeps coffee hot for hours without a warming plate, while the single-serve side offers 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12-ounce options. Brew strength control lets you choose regular or bold, and the 24-hour brew start means your pot is ready when you are. Auto shut-off adds peace of mind for busy mornings.
