There is only one con:  It takes up more counter space than I would like to give it.
Pros: I love the removable water carafe for easy filling and cleaning.  The temp choice is great as is the choice of brewing (regular or bold.) The color matches my other HB products  and the cleaning cycle is longer than most insuring a more through clean.  All in all a perfect machine! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
