Really nice machine, an incremental update (upgrade?) from previous versions. Convenience of both types is fantastic. The good: for pods it has multiple selection of sizes, coffee tastes great from both sides, and makes it very quickly. Areas where if addressed I would give it 5 stars: permanent filter lets through grinds still. Using paper ones eliminates it (for 10cups+). Lesser Cuisinart models allow to mute the beeping that coffee is ready or when heating plate timer turns off - why not have this feature here? And last, I'm still waiting for wifi/bluetooth connection and an app to control my coffeemaker. Cuisinart - you must have this already!
