De'Longhi - 8-Cup Coffee Maker - Silver Metallic

I think it makes great tasting coffee. It takes time to heat the water to get it to the right temperature. I love the basket holder for after the coffee brews. Easy to operate and clean.

This machine reinvents morning coffee. After using the Chemex for years and other 'pour over' methods, I didn't believe a coffee maker existed that would compare to the quality of the pour. The Golden Cup setting is my new, favored way to start my day. My only slightly negative comment would be...the machine makes a loud click in between cycles, which was surprising to hear, but over time the click goes unnoticed. Thank you Delonghi for snagging my attention and keeping it!

I really like this machine. It's very sleek and simple to use. I have only used the drip function so far. I have used different coffees in this machine and they all taste exceptional, including coffees that I had previously tried using other brewing methods and that I was on the verge of throwing out. I really hope this machine lasts for years. It was definitely on the pricier side, but will have a very low cost per use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product about 2 weeks ago and couldn't wait to try it out. Right out the box, I was impressed with the chic design, it looks great on my counter tops. Before first use, the coffee maker has to be primed. All it means,is to run two full cycles with fresh cold water,using the "golden cup" setting. This took about 20 minutes to complete. This Delonghi brewer offers 3 different brewing methods : golden cup (regular drip coffee), pour over (which makes a bolder type of coffee) and iced coffee. My first attempt was golden/drip coffee as this is my favorite. The machine uses number 4 filter - they do however not fit perfectly and are a bit too big. I folded the filter a little bit on the bottom and made it wet around the sides,which gave me a perfect result. Next I added coffee grounds to the filter with a handy scooper that came with the machine. It also came with a stand for the filter, which makes it very easy to fill. The filter goes directly inside of carafe. The machine will heat up the water to boiling, you will hear a loud click and then the water is released through the filter in to the carafe. It will click several times throughout the brewing cycle and at the end, which I found a bit annoying. The brewing cycle for 8 cups took about 10 minutes total. The heating plate will keep the coffee warm for an hour before shutting off by itself. It produced a delicious cup of coffee, I'm very impressed! Next try was pour over coffee : it uses the same set up as the golden cup setting with a minimum of 2 cups and maximum of 8. To start the cycle,you have to press the right button twice quickly (it uses the same button as the iced coffee,for which you would press only once to start). Coffee was good,but a bit too bold for my liking. Finally iced coffee: we love iced coffee at our house and I love that this machine can make both iced and hot coffee. To make ice coffee,you have to fill the carafe with ice cubes and then do the same as for hot coffee - fill water in to the water tank and add grounds to the filter with a ratio of 4 cups of water to 8 scoops of coffee grounds. Overall, I am very impressed with the Delonghi 3 in 1 brewer! One thing that could be improved is the volume of coffee it produces. It only makes 8 cups and I would prefer 12. We drink a lot of coffee on the weekend and it would be nice to have a higher amount of coffee per brewing cycle.

Design ensures ease of use and a generally clean and easy operation. It is also the best coffee I have ever had from an automatic machine.

Enjoying the coffee - Only thing missing is a clock and timer.

i had a delonghi coffee maker for 23 years. so easy to use. but i am disappointed in this new one. I find the lid hard to get on and off. and too much water stays in the top part and i have to take off the lid to let it all dry and spread it all over my counter. not the look i am going for!!

This coffee maker make good ice coffe but not hot coffee. It doesn't make hot hot coffee. If you're hot coffee drinker. This isn't a good choice. I'm going to return this coffee maker

Decent machine. Hard to get carafe in and out smoothly. Wish I had realized it ONLY TAKES PAPER FILTERS before I threw the box away. I reached out to the company for a return for this reason, but they said no because I didn't have the original packaging. Beware!

Love this pot. Begrudgingly buying another one after it broke after only having it for about 15 months. It rubs me the wrong way when a product stops working a few months after the warranty runs out… started smelling like burnt rubber and water rubs right through when poured in. anyway coffee is good and doesn't take up a lot of space. This second one better last longer!
