DLODCM485 - DeLonghi 10-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker
DeLonghi 10-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker
Customer Review: Broke Twice - Not Worth the $$
I purchased this pot and a month later the electronic display quit working. I exchanged it for a new one and then 6 months later or so the electronics went out on the new one. The pot still worked though but now it finally died. The coffee did leak on the counter at times but the coffee was good and the pot kept it very hot. I will not buy another of this brand of coffee maker - too expensive to have to replace every 6 months.
Customer Review: I actually like this coffee maker
So, I have seen this coffee maker trashed all over the internet including here. However, I have to say I like it. AND, I have used it regularly (almost daily) for 1 year and 3 months now. It is very quite and brews quickly especially if you follow the recommended instructions and clean it with vinegar every couple months or ~ 100 brews. PROS: quiet, atrractive, sturdy, coffee is hot enough, carafe is excellent and keeps coffee pretty darn hot for 2-3 hours. Also, water basket is removable for easy filling (great feature!). CONS: programming buttons are NOT intuitive - I had to use the instruction manual as a reference quite a while before mastering it; other reviewer was correct - the blinking light when you have it set for timed brew is annoying (it's the biggest round button that flashes bright orange); hard to find water filter replacements; brewing strength dial on top seems a bit hokey and unnecessary. With that all being said, it brews a nice cup of coffee (I use premium coffees like Starbucks, Seattles Best, etc.) It is definitely hot enough. I can't understand these people that say it is not hot enough - what do they want? Boiling? 3rd degree burn-hot? Crazy. Trust me, when it first brews, I can just barely sip it without being burned. I then transfer it to a Nissan Stainless Travel Mug, and it stays hot all the way into work (45-min drive). Also, I have never had any problems with the carafe. If you look at the picture on the lid and follow the directions, it is very simple. It has NEVER spilled when pouring. It has also NEVER overflowed on me, so I don't know why people have complained about this so much around the internet. One reviewer mentioned it is tough to pour water in without it spilling. Well, there is a simple solution to that problem...the water resevoir comes out! It even has a sturdy handle that pops up and down. This not only makes filling the water so easy a monkey could do it, but it also makes it nice because you can easily clean the water basket. I am all for this coffee maker. I like it. Nice and sturdy and attractive. I have had ZERO PROBLEMS with it. My 2 cents!

DeLonghi DC50B Twenty Four Seven Drip Coffee Maker, Black
The DeLonghi DC50B Drip Coffee Maker is perfect for anyone who likes to start the day with a good, strong cup of coffee. Get the most flavor from your preferred blend and produce four cups of goodness, to get yourself ready to take on the day. Push-button control makes it easy to use Cord Storage Black Unit Size(WxDxH) - 7.09 x 9.06 x 11.3 Weight - 4.28 lbs.
Customer Review: Fine, Fast, Hot, Small
This fine looking little device is the second Delonghi 4-cup coffee maker that I have owned. The first had the dewar flask carafe and no warmer and the coffee wasn't really hot enough. Lots of microwave action for second cups with that one. This one has the glass carafe and a warmer; MUCH Better. It has the permanent filter but I put in a paper filter anyway. The first lasted nearly three years before the switch failed, more than acceptable for this inexpensive and reliable little unit. It makes coffee fast and strong and just the right amount for a quick big mug to wake up and another after my morning dog walk. Later mid-morning coffee is managed by making a fresh pot of great tasting coffee (I prefer Community Club Dark Roast). One has a tendency to grip the carafe handle with ones fingers and rest ones thumb above on the flip-up lid lever (This is similar in sprit to riding the brake in your vehicle). The effect is to raise the lid just enough for the coffee to pour out all around the lip of the carafe and the result is spilled coffee while pouring. Do not do that. Like all makers with the steal-a-cup feature, if one only partially inserts the carafe then the valve will not open and coffee and grounds will overflow. Do not do that either. I would recommend it to tho others (I have) and I would buy it again (I did.)
Customer Review: Too Hot
I would not recommend buying this coffee maker. Getting the water into the reservoir is a clumsy feat at best. But worse, when pouring the last third of the hot coffee out of the pot, the lid falls open allowing the steam to scald your knuckles. I wish I could have gotten another Krups 4-cup but they've stopped making them.
