The pot is very easy to clean and load.  The coffee made is so much more flavorable than the drip style and the pod style coffee makers,  and it is hotter from the very first cup to the last one poured compared to the other coffee makers.  Why we were ever sold into buying those other styles just proves good marketing on their part!  I'll never go back to he drip or pod makers again.

Pros: good looking; takes up less counter space; makes great, richer tasting coffee
Cons: because I don't use filters, there is a small amount of grounds on the bottom of me cup-no big deal to me
