The only pro to this coffee maker is that it makes a good cup of hot coffee. The cons are it is very loud. I also have a Nespresso and a L'or coffee makers. This Cuisinart is louder than both. It sounds like a screaming banchee. Second con is it does not turn off for over 30 minutes after you brew your last cup. I wonder if that is Cuisinarts way to force you to unplug the unit after use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are the type who drinks smaller cups of coffee, this is perfect for you! I do really like how in the water reservoir, there's measuring lines to help guide you. I do also like how easy it is to operate, even can do it one handed if need be. The adjustable drip tray could be useful if you have a very short cup. I also really appreciate how compact it is, & how the cord can be wound into the component - pretty neat! However, for those who use a regular sized to-go thermos, this is far too short. I have to either dirty a clean cup and transfer it to my thermos, or I have to stand there, holding it at an angle. That's inconvenient to me. So while I understand the appeal for this machine, it's just not it for me personally.

Comparing my new Cuisinart coffee maker to my old Keurig I have to say I like the Keurig function better. My Cuisinart feels cheaper made for the money spent. The coffee also has a more metallic taste. Don’t think I’d purchase another one
