I'm definitely a heavy coffee drinker, but i'm becoming a fan of brewing my own coffee at home. Reading CNET's review about OXO Barista Brain's 12-cup brewing system, it just made me so much more excited about this product. I like the slick design, and the control they give you is a nice feature to have. Now I can't wait for it to be out so I can try it myself! Looks alone, it's worth the price!
