This coffee maker does't get the water hot enough to brew a proper cup of coffee - it brews "flat" tasting coffee because water that is too cool doesn't extract all the goodness coffee beans have to offer.  Also, the carafe is not insulated and is difficult to clean.  Bummed I wasted all my points getting this - it's going straight to the thrift store giveaway pile.  

Pros: none
Cons: brews flat coffee, carafe hard to clean
