Pro Looks better than most cold brew coffee makers
Cold brew coffee makers often look like they're made out of cheap plastic. This coffee maker has a nice looking design and glass parts, which will make it fit in with most kitchen appliances.
Pro You won't ever need to wait for it to drain fully
Most cold brew coffee makers have to drain fully before you can pour coffee, which can take well over a day. Trying to remove the carafe before then will cause the coffee to spill. This coffee maker has a switch that allows you to start or stop draining coffee. It also has volume markings to let you know when there's enough coffee for a single cup.

Cons
Con Tends to clog when using a paper filter
The draining speed will slow down considerably with a paper filter. Coarse coffee helps to alleviate this, but fine coffee will immediately clog it.
Con Takes up too much space
The carafe's footprint is too large, which makes it hard to fit in most fridge doors. You have to store it on one of the main shelves, but it can be a tight fit in smaller fridges where you don't have as much space between shelves.
Con Needs to be cleaned often
This coffee maker produces a lot of static electricity, causing residue to easily stick to its parts. You'll have to clean it often so the residue doesn't start affecting the flavor of your coffee. It's not dishwasher safe either, so you'll have to do it by hand.
Con Difficult to visually determine how much coffee is in the thermal carafe
The thermal carafe is not transparent and has no viewing window, making it difficult to visually determine how much coffee is left. Switching to a glass (or non-thermal) carafe isn't ideal because of the hot plate — it shuts off after the coffee is done brewing, so the coffee won't stay warm in non-thermal carafes.
