Pros: This coffee maker is very fast and the coffee is very hot.

Cons: I don't particular care for its look. There is too much black plastic.

Overall Review: I went through (3) three Cuisinart Grind and Brews. They only lasted a little over a year a piece. I like using whole beans and grinding them just prior to use. Since the Grind and Brew kept breaking down, we decided to separate the grind process. I bought this coffee maker on the recommendation of Consumer Reports Magazine. I do like it and it makes good coffee...I just think it is ugly.

Pros: It works great!! I love it. I looked around and couldn't decide which one to buy. I had several different Cusinart items at my house that I have been happy with, so I decided on this one. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Cons: none
