CUORE is a neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment currently under construction at LNGS, an underground lab in Italy. The start of data taking is scheduled for early 2015. In the meantime the collaboration is taking data with a smaller, prototype detector named CUORE-0, which has now been running for almost one year. In this talk I'll review the performance of CUORE-0 and the status and outlook for CUORE.
