Advantages
In Mr. Coffee ISX43, the filter basket is easy to load and clean. The brew strength selector allows you to customize the taste and strength of your coffee, with regular and strong as the two common choices. For mornings, when you cannot wait for your first cup, there?s the Pause 'n Serve feature that allows you to get a cup even if the machine is in the middle of brewing. The machine also lets you know how long the coffee has been brewing so that you don?t end up drinking stale coffee. With the audible alarms, you know whether the coffee maker is done brewing coffee or not.
Disadvantages
One of the main disadvantages is that it tends to overflow. Coffee grounds tend to stray onto the coffee, and the moisture and steam will eventually cause the clock and timer to stop working. The machine also stops working after several uses. The short life span is one of the most common complaints when it comes to this coffee maker.
