User Reviews
After three months of owning this coffee pot, it began leaking from the bottom of the maker. It leaks so bad that when we get up in the morning the coffee is on the floor instead of in the pot. Worst $70 I have ever spent. -- Leaks from the bottom after 3 months of owning it
This has been a perfect coffeemaker for our household! I love that the arm pulls out to pour the water in so that I don't have to pull the coffeemaker out from the wall to accomplish the same thing. The coffee tastes great and I have never had a problem with the temperature. The timer works the same as most other coffee makers. We have had ours for more than 6 months. -- DeLonghi Drip Coffeemaker - we love it!
Well, we finally had to get rid of this coffee maker and get a new one. We just couldn't wait 45 minutes for a pot of coffee. I can't say that this is just recently; it seem to be since we bought it. It usually isn't a problem since we use the timer but if we forget to set it the night before, we end up going to work without coffee since we don't have that long to wait. The coffee that it makes never is quite hot enough which also contributes to the poor quality of the coffee you get. Add those two issues to the fact that the pot drips everywhere when you pour anything out of it and we ended up buying a new one and will sell this one at a yard sale. Too bad because it has some nice features that others don't have but in the end, if you don't get a cup of good, hot coffee then what's the use. -- Too many problems to live with
I bought this coffee maker for it's front access. I have no place in my kitchen that I can place a coffee maker without having to pull it out from under a cabinet to pour the water in a top opening machine, so I thought this would be perfect. Althought I like this feature, this machine does not heat the water to a hot enough temperature to make a good cup of coffee. If you want to know what coffee tastes like out of this machine, pour lukewarm water over coffee grounds and you'll have it. I would not reocmmend this machine. -- Does not make good coffee
We had this coffee maker for almost 3 years and we loved it. It was great not having to pull the whole unit out to fill. All and all we loved this machine and used it daily for almost 3 years. Then the heating element broke and put out cold coffee. We are very bummed and in the market for a new coffee maker. We are not sure if we will buy another of these, but will consider it. -- Worked great for two years and then...
